Calculate the amount of profit or loss in dollar


Solve the following problem:

One year ago, you sold a put option on 100,000 euros with an expiration date of 1 year. You received a premium on the put option of $.05 per unit. The exercise price was $1.22. Assume that 1 year ago, the spot rate of the euro was $1.20. One year ago, the 1-year forward rate of the euro exhibited a discount of 2 percent, and the 1-year futures price of the euro was the same as the 1-year forward rate of the euro. From 1 year ago to today, the euro depreciated against the dollar by 4 percent. Today the put option will be exercised (if it is feasible for the buyer to do so)

a. Determine the total dollar amount of your profit or loss from your position in the put option.

b. One year ago, Rita sold a futures contract on 100,000 euros with a settlement date of 1 year.

Determine the total dollar amount of her profit or loss.
