What opportunity is open to an arbitrageur


Problem: Suppose that the Euro-USD spot and forward exchange rates are as follows:

Spot                       1.34
90-day forward     1.3380
180-day forward    1.3348

What opportunity is open to an arbitrageur when a 180-day European call option to buy 1 Euro for $1.3083 costs $0.02 per Euro? Assume the size of forward and options contracts to be 1,000,000 Euros each. Ignore borrowing costs.
