Today is 1 September and the spot exchange rate AUD 1.00 = NZD 1.22. That is, one AUD buys you NZD 1.22. You have no underlying position/commitments in NZD but will merely speculate on exchange rate movements. The six-month forward rate for AUD 1.00 = NZD 1.18. If you want to speculate on the NZD strengthening relative to the AUD, will you take a long or short forward position in NZD? (long or short) On maturity of this forward contract in six-month's time, the spot exchange rate is 1.05 (i.e. AUD 1.00 buys NZD 1.05). You close out the forward position with a new transaction equal in magnitude (NZD 100,000) and opposite in sign to your original transaction in part b). What is your net position on the forward contracts? \$
