The USDJPY spot price is 115.018 and the one month forward is 115.046. A one month expiration European style call option with a strike price of 115.046 is trading at 4¥ and a put option with the same parameters is trading at 5¥. If we purchase the call and sell the put sketch the payoff of this position at expiry over the range 114.900 to 115.140. If we were going to hedge an exposure to the Yen should we use the option position or the forward? Justify your answer.
Assume the spot Swiss franc is $0.7085 and the six-month forward rate is $0.7120. What is the Value of a six-month call and a put option with a strike price of $0.6885 should sell for in a rational market? Assume the annualized six-month Eurodollar rate is 3.50 percent. Assume the annualized volatility of the Swiss franc is 14.20 percent. Use the European option-pricing models to value the call and put option.
Assume the spot Swiss franc is $0.7015 and the six-month forward rate is $0.6980.

Consider a one period binomial model of a currency option on the dollar. Thecurrent (date t = 0) spot exchange rate is S0 = 75 pence per dollar. The spot rateat the end of the period will be either Su = 100 pence or Sd = 60 pence. The UKrisk-free interest rate over the period is rs = 1/3 (33.3333%) and the US risk-freerate of interest is rd = 1/4 (25%). There is a call option with a strike price ofK = 68 pence and a forward contract with a price of F = 80 pence. Show how touse the forward contract and the UK money market to replicate the payoffs to thecall option and hence, find the price of the call option.
Assume that the Japanese yen is trading at a spot price of 92.04 cents per 100 yen. Further assume that the premium of an American call (put) option with a strike price of 93 is 2.10 (2.20) cents. Calculate the intrinsic value and the time value of the call and put options.
You are considering a European put option and a European call option on ABC Ltd and have available the following information. The put option with an exercise price of $15 and time to maturity of 60 days is priced at $2.00. The call option with the same exercise price and time to maturity is priced at $3.00. The underlying asset price is $15. The risk-free rate is 2% per 60 days. Could an arbitrage profit be earned? If so, how much the arbitrage profit is? Show your works (Hint: use discrete put-call parity equation and consider two scenarios for stock price at maturity of the options: $10 or $20).
You buy a European call option priced at $0.025/€ on €225,000 at a strike price of $1.50/€. If at maturity, the observed price is $1.60/€, what is the total net cash flow involved at the end of this investment whether you exercise or do not exercise this option?
Consider a one-period binomial model in which the underlying is at 65 Euros, and can go up 30% or down 22% each period. The risk-free rate is 8%.

Demonstrate how to execute an arbitrage transaction and calculate the rate of return. Use 10000 puts.

A trader focuses principally on the Australian Dollar/Singapore Dollar (A$/S$) cross-rate. The current spot rate is S$0.9/A$. The trader expects after 2 months the cross rate will be S$0.79/A$. The trader plans to purchase an option, and has the following choices: A CALL option on S$ has a strike price of S$0.85/A$ and a premium of A$0.00037/S$. A PUT option on S$ has a strike price of S$0.85/A$ and a premium of A$0.00048/S$. i. Determine if the trader should buy a PUT option or a CALL option on S$. ii. If the trader buys the option decided in (i), determine net profit for the trader if the spot rate after 2 months is as the trader expects. iii. If the spot rate after 2 months is not what the trader expected and is S$0.61/A$, will the option the trader buys be at-the-money, or in-the-money, or out-of-the-money? [[Notably, the trader is purchasing option on S$ -- meaning S$ is the foreign currency in this instance]]
