The trader sells one call with strike price of £48 at a price of £1.50, and buys one call with strike price of £50 at £1.00. He buys one put at a strike price of £48 at £0.50 and sells one put at a strike price of £50 at £2.50.

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.

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]]arrow_forward
