On October 1st, 2019, Algerian Co. SNVI (Socit Nationale des Vhicules Industriels) imports from Germany spare parts for a total value of Euros 1 million. Payment is due 6 months later. SNVI plans to protect itself from an expected appreciation of the Euro and decides to buy a currency option for the entire contract's amount.

The Bank offers to SNVI the following:

Exercise Price: EUR 1 = DZD 77.43

Exercise Date = March 2020

Premium = DZD 0.03 per EUR 1.

All banking fees are only those stated above.
