    Dear sir,

    I don’t understand why in (c), the answer used put options instead of call options.

    If the government buy back the franchise, shouldn’t that $7500m be converted into Euro using call options? Since Buryecs is based in Eurozone, and it should be selling Dollars and buy Euro (so call options).

    The options are $ options. They are selling $’s and so they are put options in $’s.

    But why does it convert to $ when in the question, the options are in Euro?

    The question does not say that.

    It says that they are over the counter options in $’s.

    I thought the question said “The exercise price quotation is in Wirtonia $ per €1, premium is % of amount hedged, translated at today’s spot rate.”?

    Since it’s per €1, is this not a Euro option?

    But the question says “….OTC options in Wirtonia $’s” which means that they are options to buy or sell Wirtonian $’s.
