$0.61-$0.02=$0.59

=SF1000000*($0.59)

=$590000

Answer 2

Total dollar amount received=$590,000

Option C is correct ($590,000)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Data:

Exercise Price=$0.61

Premium Price=$0.02

Spot Rate=$0.60

Expected spot rate in 30 days=$.56

30-day forward rate =$0.62

Required:

Total dollar amount received=?

Solution:

We have to account for premium:

Total dollar amount received=(Exercise Price-Premium Price)*SF1,000,000

Total dollar amount received=($0.61-$0.02)*SF1,000,000

Total dollar amount received=$590,000

Option C is correct ($590,000)
