You are the CEO of a U.S. company's subsidiary in India. Your subsidiary, as many other foreign companies in India, imports components from other parts of the world, including the United States. In May 2013 your subsidiary made an order for 1,000 units of equipment components manufactured in the U.S., which should be shipped to India by September 2013, when the payment of $50,000 is due. The exchange rate in May 2013 was 1 INR = $0.0185. After the U.S. Fed announced future changes in its policy in summer 2013, which would lead to increase in interest rates in the U.S., your analyst made calculations that the Indian rupee would depreciate further from its rate in July 2013 of 1 INR = $0.0168 to 1 INR = $0.015 by September 2013. Despite continuing depreciation of the Indian rupee, your subsidiary still would have to pay the U.S. supplier $50,000 in September 2013. You decided to hedge against further depreciation of the Indian rupee by entering into a 60-day forward exchange transaction with a foreign exchange dealer at the rate of 1 INR = $0.0158. Thus, the spot exchange rate at the time of your decision to hedge is ________ and the forward exchange rate is ____________.

1 INR = $0.0185; 1 INR = $0.015
1 INR= $0.0168; 1 INR= $0.0158
1 INR= $0.0185; 1 INR= $0.0168
1 INR = $0.015; 1 INR = $0.0168
