Suppose an Australian importer has to make a 100,000 payment to a German exporter in 60 days. The importer could purchase a European call option to have the euros delivered to him at a specified exchange rate (the strike price) on the due date. Suppose further that the option premium is AUD0.015 per euro and the exercise price is AUD1.50. Discuss the following status/scenarios of this call option for the Australian importer:

1. If the Spot rate were to rise to AUD1.55 or fall to AUD1.45 indicate whether the option is in-the-money or out-of-the-money for each scenario and will the importer exercise or let the option lapse and why?
2. What is the cost of this option?
