P* = Pound sterling price of the asset held by the U.S.firm
P = Dollar price of the same asset

B) Most of the volatility of the dollar value of the British asset cannot be removed by hedging exchange risk because b2[Var(S) ] and VAR(e) are 236,717 ($) 2 and 493,751 ($) 2 respectively.
C) Most of the volatility of the dollar value of the British asset cannot be removed by hedging exchange risk because b2[Var(S) ] and VAR(e) are 125,000 ($) 2 and −127,500 ($) 2 respectively.
D) Most of the volatility of the dollar value of the British asset can be removed by hedging exchange risk because b2[Var(S) ] and VAR(e) are 125,000 ($) 2 and −127,500 ($) 2 respectively.
