An Australian company has purchased currency call options to hedge a 230,000 Brazilian Real payable. The premium is A$.035 and the exercise price of the option is A$.30. If the spot rate at the time of maturity is A$.60, what is the total amount paid by the corporation if it acts rationally? A. A$146,050. B. A$69,000. C. A$60,950. D. A$138,000. E. A$77,050.
The Bid /Ask exchange rate of Yen/Dollar = 0.0065 - 0.0062
So, Number of dollars that you will need to buy Yen 5,000,000 is
= 5,000,000 * Ask price [ We consider Ask price as this is the price seller will accept to make the transactions]
= 5,000,000 * 0.0062
= $31000
The correct option is A
The amount is computed as shown below:
= (Premium + Exercise price) x 230,000
= (A$ 0.035 + A$ 0.30) x 230,000
= A$ 0.335 x 230,000
= A$ 77,050
So, the correct answer is option E.
