Assume that you had speculated the day of DC1 by selling put options that specify 1 million units of the foreign currency. If puts are expiring, the counter-party on your contract exercised the contract at the day of DC2 if it was feasible to do so. If puts have time value you would have to cancel them at market prices. What would be your profit or loss after considering the premium you received from selling the put option? Calculate your results for the OTM, ATM and ITM options. Please report the profit/loss before and after commissions.
