Multiple Choice a. Lost $0.04 per € or $2,500 b. Made $0.04 per € or $2,500 c. Lost $0.06 per € or $3,750

Answer 1

Option A is correct one.

Lost $0.04 per € or $2,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are selling the futures contract. Hence we will suffer loss i.e when the price is rising.

Hence total loss=(1.50-1.54)*62500= $2500
