    Answer and Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    a. As a premium expense

    = ($0.460 - $0.44) * 695,000

    = $13,900

    b. As a difference of 3 months spot rate and spot rate

    = ($0.455 - $0.44) * 695,000

    = $10,425

    The first one represents the premium expense for $13,900 and the second part represents the adjustment to the net income in a positive way
