One year ago, you sold a put option on 35,000 Euros with an expiration date of one year for a premium of $0.03 per unit. The exercise price was $1.25/Euro. Assume that one year ago, the spot rate of the Euro was $1.23, the one-year forward rate was $1.24. Today, the euro spot rate is $1.21.
Determine the total dollar amount of your net profit or loss in the put option.
Put option strike, X = $1.25/Euro
The euro spot rate today, St = $1.21/Euro
Total premium = $0.03 * 35,000 = $1,050
Profit = -max(X - St, 0) * Contract size + Total premium collected
Profit = -max(1.25 - 1.21, 0) * 35,000 + 1,050
Ptofit = -0.04 * 35,000 + 1,050
Profit = -$350
Or loss = $350
