Answer:

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
