Hi John,
The calculation of option premium payable €674250.the spot rate is $/€ 1.1585-1.1618. the company needs to sell € buy $. so it should be 674250×1.1585 while examiner used 674250×1.1618, why? later, he used forward 1.1559 x 5000(which was not hedged by options), not 1.1601. I get confused. Can you please help? Thanks.
The premium is calculate in Euros and has to be paid.
Therefore the company needs to buy euros to pay the premium, and therefore it is at 1.1618.
