The dollar to the euro is quoted at $1.1260/ today. Put options on the euro with an exercise price of $1.1280/ and expiration in three

  1. The dollar to the euro is quoted at $1.1260/ today. Put options on the euro with an exercise price of $1.1280/ and expiration in three months are selling for $0.0362/. Each option contract calls for the exchange of 62,500. You start with $126,400 (plus or minus enough dollars to round to nearest whole contract).

    1. If you buy the euro puts, how much premium do you pay per contract? 62,500*$0.0362/euro = $2,262.50/ct

  1. How many put contracts can you buy? ((126,400)/(2262.50/ct)) = 56 contracts

  2. How much more money do you need to add to (or keep from) the $126,400 to round the number of contracts to the nearest whole number.

2262.50*56=126,728

126,700-126,400=$300 more

  1. If in three months the exchange rate is $1.0918/:

    1. Would you exercise? Yes, I would Exercise because the Strike price is higher.

    2. What would be the total payoffs? PO = Max ($1.1280/euro - $1.0918/euro) *62,500 *56 =126,700

    3. What would be the total profits/losses? answer=0

Hi, I just need to find out how to do profits/losses. The answer is suppose to be 0. Thanks.
