Dear sir,
I don’t understand why in (c), the answer used put options instead of call options.
If the government buy back the franchise, shouldn’t that $7500m be converted into Euro using call options? Since Buryecs is based in Eurozone, and it should be selling Dollars and buy Euro (so call options).
June 4, 2023 at 3:21 pm #685990The options are $ options. They are selling $’s and so they are put options in $’s.
June 5, 2023 at 4:06 am #686008But why does it convert to $ when in the question, the options are in Euro?
June 5, 2023 at 7:41 am #686023The question does not say that.
It says that they are over the counter options in $’s.
June 5, 2023 at 8:29 am #686030I thought the question said “The exercise price quotation is in Wirtonia $ per €1, premium is % of amount hedged, translated at today’s spot rate.”?
Since it’s per €1, is this not a Euro option?
June 5, 2023 at 4:45 pm #686070But the question says “….OTC options in Wirtonia $’s” which means that they are options to buy or sell Wirtonian $’s.
