Question:

In Example 10.2, a forward contract was used to establish a derivatives "hedge" to protect Centralia from a translation loss if the euro depreciated from €1.1 000/ $1.00 to €1.1,786/$1.00. Assume that an over-the-counter put option on the euro with a strike price of € 1.1393/$ 1:00 (or $0.8777/€1.00) can be purchased for $0.0088 per euro. Show how the potential translation loss can be ''hedged'' with an option contract.
