5. A US importer is concerned about the appreciation of EUR against USD due to EUR payables of EUR100,000,000 in three months. To hedge the position, importer decides to use futures markets. Currently CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) EUR contracts (125,000 each) with closest maturity are traded at USD1.3500 per EUR. Futures contract will expire one week after the due date of payables.

Suppose the importer takes a futures position equal to 50% of its cash position at USD1.3500. Also Company treasurer buys an OTC (over the counter) call option on EUR for EUR40,000,000 notional with a strike price of EUR/USD 1.3500 at 2% premium and leaves EUR10,000,000
portion of the exposure uncovered. At the time the option is purchased, the spot rate was USD1.3778. On the day the Futures contract is liquidated, Futures price is 1.3100 per EUR and the EUR/USD spot rate is 1.3150.
