Assume the spot Swiss franc is $0.7040 and the six-month forward rate is $0.7030. What is the Value of a six-month call and a put option with a strike price of $0.6840 should sell for in a rational market? Assume the annualized six-month Eurodollar rate is 3.50 percent. Assume the annualized volatility of the Swiss franc is 14.20 percent. Use the European option-pricing models to value the call and put option.
