Horst Schmidt is considering buying ten call options on Swiss franc on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange at a strike price of 54 cents per pound. The contract size is SF62, 500. The option will expire in three months. The premium is 2.0 cents per pound. Ignore the brokerage cost. The spot rate is currently $.5400/SF and the three-month forward rate is $.5525/SF. Horst Schmidt believes that the most likely range for the spot pound in three months will be a low of $.5000/SF to a high of $.6200/SF, but the most likely value will be $.5900/SF.
