    Sir in part a (options), we have a receipt of $ so we purchase € call options.

    In the second strike price choice 1.38 $/€ we get 115.9 contracts, the examiner has rounded it down to 115 and hedged the under-hedged amount at the forward rate for selling dollars as we will have $162,500 still left to be converted.

    Can I round properly, round up to 116, and then hedge the over-hedged amount at the forward rate for buying dollars, since we are coming short of $10,000 for the option exercise?

    Also sir part b in BPP kit (or part c in marking scheme), why is the investment amount converted using the PPP expected forward rate but all the cash inflows from the project are converted at the IRP expected forward rate?

    You will still get full marks for your first question, whether you round up or down.

    For your second question, forward rates are always determined using interest rate parity.

    Expected future spot rates are always best estimated using purchasing power parity.
