NOTE: Under a put option, the underlying asset (which is the peso in this case) is sold at the option's exercise price

(4) Premium $ 0.0082 / Peso, Contract Size = 500000 pesos, Premium paid per contract = 500000 x 0.0082 = $ 4100

Exercise price = $ 0.054 / Peso and Spot at Expiration = $ 0.062 / Peso

As the spot at expiry is above, the exercise price the put option will not be exercised. Hence, Amazon's Profit = - $ 4100

Therefore, the correct option is (a)

(5) Spot at Expiration = $ 0,05 / Peso

Put Option Payoff = (0.054 - 0.05) = 0.004 $ / Peso

Total Payoff = 0.004 x 500000 = $ 2000

Option Premium Paid = $ 4100

Net Prpfit = 2000 - 4100 = - $ 2100

Hence, the correct option is (c)

(6) Spot at Expiration = $ 0,042 / Peso

Put Option Payoff = (0.054 - 0.042) = 0.012 $ / Peso

Total Payoff = 0.012 x 500000 = $ 6000

Option Premium Paid = $ 4100

Net Prpfit = 6000 - 4100 = $ 1900

Hence, the correct option is (b)
