摘要:The primary subject matter of this case is hedging foreign currency exchange rate risk with FX swaps. Secondary issues examined include assessing transaction exposure and understanding how FX swap points are calculated. The case requires students to have an introductory knowledge of accounting, statistics, finance and international business thus the case has a difficulty level of four (senior level) or higher. The case is designed to be taught in one class session of approximately 3 h and is expected to require 3-4 h of preparation time from the students. The case is based on a hypothetical regional chemical distributor located in Syracuse, New York. Unique problems faced by the chemical distributor in 2017 allow students to apply complex subject matter as part of a business solution.
