in Germany one year ago (December 1st, 2021), which would be completed on November
30th, 2022. Suppose the project costs 100 million euros and is expected to generate income
of 150 million euros on November 30th, 2022. The exchange rate at the beginning of the
project is 0.23 Euro/SAR, and it is 0.27 Euro/SAR at the end of the project. There is no
derivative bearing SAR currency, but there is a way for a Saudi firm to engage in the
forward/options market.
a- Calculate the initial investment in SAR.
b- Show the choices for financing this project by the Saudi firm. Just show without
calculation.
c- Calculate the profit from this investment in Euro and SAR also show whether the
Saudi firm was hurt or benefited from changes in the exchange rate movement.

capital than the rest of the world; briefly explain why.
