AAnas7y ago
Purchase the June call option to protect against a weakening € and because receipt is expected at the end of May 2016 or beginning of June 2016. Where did they get End of MAY 2016 from? I can't understand that part please thanks.

In the first paragraph of the question you are told that 'today' is 1 March 2016. Under 'sale of equity investment in the European country' in the question, you are told that they will receive 20M euro is 3 months time. 3 months from 1 March is 1 June. 1 June and 31 May are effectively the same day - nobody is worried about a difference of 1 day!!
