    Hi John,

    As per Kaplan study textbook, they have a different calculation on the final net cash flow on the foreign exchange option:

    Receive/payment under options +/- under/over hedged + premium

    When I tried to apply this to the your notes Ch.19 example 3, I got the follows:

    Payment under options: 22 x 31250 = ?687,500
    Over hedged = $1,000,000 – (?687500 x 1.475) = $14,063, translate at spot /1.412 =?9,960
    Premium = ?5,556
    Net payment = ?687,500 – ?9,960 + ?5,556 = ?683,096

    which is different to the answer (?683,128), is this correct?

    Thank you.

    The difference is just effectively a rounding difference and is irrelevant for the exam.

    Thank you.

    So when we caluculate the amount claimed back from the dealer,
    If we buy a puts option, is Strike price – Spot rate
    If we buy a calls option, is Spot rate – strike price

    is it correct?
