2y ago#1The forecast exchange rate is $7.6046 to €1 (as explained in the workings in the answer).
If they did not exercise the option they would therefore receive $7,500 / 7.6046 = € 986
Exercising the option at $7.75 would mean a receipt of $7,500 / 7.75 = € 968, which is less - so they would not exercise the option.
Exercising the option at $7.25 would mean a receipt of $7,500 / 7.25 = € 1,034, which is more - so they would exercise the option.
