 Pace Co, a cheese and wine store in Salem, OR
has placed a 20,000 bid for a very rare wine from
France on March 18. The results of the auction
will not be known until May. The management
team at Pace Co is worried that the Euro will
continue its recent appreciation and would like to
lock in an exchange rate so that the cost of the
auction does not get out of hand without having to
commit to a contract. What should they do?

 Pace Industrials based in Salem, OR has placed a
bid with the Australian government to be one of
the sub-contractors to build a bridge to Tasmania

The management team is concerned that the
Australian dollar may depreciate and wants to lock
in an exchange rate incase they receive the
contract. What should they do?
