The strike price of put and call options are $1.54 and $1.53 respectively. The premium on both options is $.03. The one-year forward rate exhibits a 2.65% premium.

Answer:

Explanation:

1st strategy : Selling pound forward

The spot rate of the pound is quoted at $1.51.

The one-year forward rate exhibits a 2.65% premium.

The one-year forward rate = 1.51 ( 1+ 0.0265)

= $ 1.55

Dollars received = 100000 * 1.55 = $155000

2nd strategy : Buying put option

The strike price of put = $1.54

premium on option is $.03

Amount received per option = $ 1.54 - $ 0.03 =$1.51

Total Dollars received = 100000* 1.51 = $ 151000

the best possible hedging strategy is Selling pound forward and receiving $155000
