	Let the option expire and make a loss equal to the premium of $0.05/€
	Exercise and make a profit of $0.05/€
	Exercise and make a profit of $0.10/€
	Exercise and but face a loss of $0.10/€

Answer 1

a.

Strike price= 1.3 ; premium=.03 ; Market price= 1.39 ; 1 contract=12500€

Profit per contract=Profit through exercising- option price=  (1.39-1.3)*12500 - 12500*.03 = 750$;

Total profit for 10 contracts= 750*10=7500$ ; option B

b.

The best alternative the trader has is let the option expire and make a loss equal to premium of .05$/€ . The trader can never make profit at this position and the minimum loss the trader incurr if he let the option expire.
