    This refers to the specimen answer given on page 14

    Why for the cost of the options do they state it in dollars? The question says that the premium is ” cents per CHF1″ and the calculation is derived as : 38 contracts at 125 000 CHF each. Why is the answer in US$?

    Exercise price US$1·06/CHF1
    Payment = US$5,060,000/1·06 = CHF4,773,585
    Buy 4,773,585/125,000 = 38·19 put contracts, say 38 contracts
    CHF payment = CHF4,750,000
    Premium payable = 38 x 125,000 x 0·0216 = US$102,600

    It is because the premia are given as ‘cents per CHF1’.

    So for every CHF1 the premium is 0.0216 US cents.

    I do suggest that you watch my free lectures on managing foreign exchange risk, because I explain this point (with examples).
