B.2.2 Example 2
We continue with the Example 1, but add on the following new parameters:
Table B-57 Example 2
Contract Type | Value |
---|---|
Barrier type |
Double Knock Out |
Barrier |
52 INR/USD |
Lower barrier |
47 INR/USD |
Rebate |
20 EUR |
Barrier Window Start Date |
01-Sep-2003 |
Barrier Window End Date |
01-Nov-2003 |
If, at any time during 01-Sep-2003 and 01-Nov-2003, the spot rate touches or crosses 52 INR/USD or becomes less than 47 INR/USD, this option ceases to be in effect (are knocked out). The option writer pays a rebate of 20 EUR to Options Bank. If, on 15-Oct-2003, the spot rate touches the strike price, the option can be exercised even though the barrier window has not yet been completed. In this case, the seller of the option becomes liable to pay a sum of 500 EUR to Options Bank.
