    She will loss $10.8

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Strike price of $42.50 Premium $1.35 per share

    We need to understand a call option is a financial contract that give the option buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy a stock

    In the question the underlying stock is $40.30 and it is smaller than the strike price $42.50. So she will not exercise the call option to buy the stock with the price of $40.30. And she will loose the premium $1.35 per share =

    8 * $1.35 = $10.8

    If she exercise the call option she will lost:

    The premium and the exchange rate difference amount

    = 8 * $1.35 + 8 * ($42.50 - $40.30)

    = $10.8 + $17.6

    = $28.4

    So she will not excerise the call option.

    Hope it will find you well.
