Expert Solution

The correct answer is $ 120

Explanation

We are in long futures contract

Futures entry price = 0.779

When the futures matures the price prevailing was 0.791. The spot price will be the same as futures price on expiry beucase there is no time value left in the future.

So our exit price is 0.791.

So profit = Exit price - Exit price

= 0.791 - 0.779

= 0.012

Lot of trading is 10000

So total profit = Lot * Profit

total profit = 10000 * 0.012

total profit = 120

So $ 120 ( 1st option is the correct answer)
