Synthetic Forward Ltd. has sold goods to put call PLC. UK goods worth £ 1,000,000 are due at the end of 90 days.

Synthetic Forward has bought a put option on £ maturing in 90 days for an amount of £ 1,000,000 and simultaneously wrote a call option at the same maturity, striking price and amount. The option premiums were:

Call option $ .0060/£ Put premium $ .0015/£ Strike price $ 1.75/£ Clearly identify the cash flow now and at the end of 90 days if the then spot rate will be:
