    If Samson uses a money market hedge, it should borrow $952,381 in the United States.

    Explanation:

    Amount required in 30 days = Euro 1,000,000

    Required to be deposited in Euro = Present value

    = 1,000,000 / (1.05)

    = Euro 952,380.95

    Required borrowings in Dollars = Amount required in Euro*Spot rate

    = 952,381*1

    = $952,381
