Expert Solution

To understand this, let us look at how the loan would work without the call option :

  • The USD loan is converted into IDR at the rate of USD/IDR Rp 14,250  
  • Loan withdrawn in IDR = ($1,000,000 * IDR 14,250) = IDR 14.25 billion
  • Loan repayment in USD = $1 million + ($1 million + 5%), which is $1.05 million. 5% is the interest rate.
  • Loan repayment in IDR = ($1.05 million * IDR 15000), which is IDR 15.75 billion

Total Cost borne by All-Star on loans (without call option) is (Loan repayment in IDR - Loan withdrawn in IDR) = IDR 1.5 billion

With the call option,

  • All-Star would exercise the option if the USD/IDR spot rate on 14/01/2020 is higher than the strike price of IDR 16,000. This way, exercising the call option would result in lower outflow of IDR as the strike price is lower than the spot rate.
  • Conversely, All-Star would let the option expire worthless if the USD/IDR spot rate on 14/01/2020 is lower than the strike price of IDR 16,000. This way, outflow of IDR is lower than exchanging at the higher strike price of IDR 16,000.

In the example given in the question, All-Star would not exercise the call option as the spot rate on 14/01/2020 is lower than the strike price of the option.

The premium paid on the call option = (Loan in USD * Strike Price of option * 2.5 %). 2.5% is the premium given in the question. premium = $1,000,000 * 16000 * 2.5%, which is IDR 400 million

Total cost borne by All-Star on loans = Total Cost (without call option) + payoff + premium paid

Total cost (without call option) as calculated above is IDR 1.5 billion

payoff is zero as the call option is not exercised

premium paid = IDR 400 million

Total cost borne by All-Star on loans = IDR (1.5 billion + 400 million), which is IDR 1.9 billion

This is the payoff diagram with the X-axis as USD/INR spot rate on 14/01/2020 and Y-axis as option payoff on expiry
