E.g An oil refiner is concerned that crude oil prices
may rise but he does not want to lock in a firm price
by purchasing a futures contract. The refiner then
buys a crude oil call.
20. E.g A Fund manager investing in T-bonds wishes to
enhance the yield on her portfolio. She has the view
that market will remain stable or fall slightly over the
next few months. The current T-bond price is $100
and so the manager sells a call a 100 call with a
premium of $4.
If the option is exercised she has to deliver the T-
bonds from her portfolio.
If the option is not exercised the premium received
enhances the profits.

35. On April 28, you purchased a European call option
on GBP at a strike price of $1.4000 for a premium of
$0.07. The spot rate at the time was 1.4500. The
expiry date is October 16.The amount of underlying
is GBP 62500.
Compute the premium
Check whether is ITM/ATM/OTM
Check the intrinsic value/time value of the option
On expiry, suppose the spot rate is GBP/USD 1.4800, what is
the net gain/loss?
36. Premium = $(62500x0.07) = $4375
Strike price < Current spot = ITM
Intrinsic value = USD 0.05 per GBP.
Time value = USD 0.02 per GBP.
Should exercise the option
Gross profit = 1.4800-1.4000 = 0.08
Net Profit = 0.08 – 0.07 = 0.01
Total profit = 0.01 x 62500 = 625 per option contract.
37. The current CHF/USD spot is 0.6675. The following 90-day call
options on CHF are available:
Your view is that CHF is going to make a strong up-move
during the next 90 days. Your risk appetite is moderate. What
strategy is suitable for you?
– STRIKE PREMIUM
USD per CHF USD per CHF
0.6000 0.075
0.6500 0.030
0.7000 0.010
0.7500 0.002
38. A bullish call spread
Buy a call with strike 0.6000 and sell a call with
0.7000. Net premium is USD 0.07.
If the CHF moves above 0.67 you will make net gain.
If CHF is 0.72, purchased call makes a profit of 0.12
and sold call makes a loss of 0.02. Net premium is
0.07
Profit = 0.12-0.02-0.07 = 0.03
39. A German firm buys a call option on $100,000 with a
strike price of DEM 1.60/$ and a premium of DEM
0.03/$.The interest opportunity cost is 6% p.a and
maturity is 180 days.
What is the B.E maturity spot rate beyond which the firm
makes a net gain?
Suppose the 6-month forward rate at the time the option was
bought was DEM 1.62/$. What is the range of maturity spot
rate for which the option would prove to be better than the
forward cover?
40. The premium would be DEM 30000 and
interest on it for 180 days would be
DEM 900. Thus per dollar cost of premium
and interest would be DEM 0.0309.
Since the strike price is DEM 1.60, the
breakeven rate will be DEM 1.6309 per
dollar.
41. Formaturity spot rate up to DEM (1.6200-
0.0309) = DEM 1.5891, option would
be better than forward. Beyond that forward
would be better.
42. A French exporter to U.K has 90 day Pound
receivable. He purchases a put option on GBP
250,000 at a strike price of FRF 8.0550/GBP at a
premium of FRF 0.20 per Pound. The current spot
rate is FRF 8.1000/GBP and the 90-day forward is
8.0750. The interest opportunity cost for the firm is
9%p.a.
Calculate the maximum FRF/GBP rate at the end of 90 days
below which the firm will make a net gain from the Put.
Calculate the range of maturity spot over which the option
would be better than the forward and vice-versa.
43. Including interest, the premium cost is FRF
0.205 per pound. Maturity spot must be
below (8.0550-0.2050) = FRF 7.8500 for the
put to make money on a net basis.
For maturity spot rate above
(8.0750+0.2050) = 8.2800, put is better than
forward; below that forward is better.
44. Futures
On April 29, you bought a June futures
contract on GBP at price of $1.5450. The
contract size is 62500 GBP, the initial margin
is 5%. On April 30, May 1 and May 2 the
prices closed at 1.5490,1.5460 and 1.5410.
Determine the variation margins and the
balance in your account at the close of April
29,30, May 1 and 2nd.
45. The initial margin is $0.05(62500x1.5450) =
$4515.62
