Call premium example
• A US firm is planning to purchase GBP and wants to protect
against appreciation of the pound. Current market conditions as
follows: S= $1.8674/£, interest rate is 1.453% in the USA and
4.525% in the UK, exchange rate volatility is estimated at
9.400%. The call option has strike rate of $1.8000/£ and expires
in 180 days. What is the theoretical call option premium?
T = 180/365 = 0.4932
F = 1.8674*e((0.01453-0.04525)*0.4932)=1.8393
= 0.3602
