Sagot :

Answer:

b. Premium of 17.56%.

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

Spot price = $0.3075

Forward rate = $0.3120

Now  

Forward premium or discount is

= [(Forward rate - Spot rate) ÷ Spot rate] × (12 ÷ months) × 100

= [0.3120-0.3075)  ÷ 0.3075 ] × (12  ÷ 1)  × 100

= (.0045 ÷ 0.3075) × 12 ÷ 1 × 100

= 17.556 %

= 17.56 %

Hence, the  Option B Premium of 17.56% is correct
