Suppose there is an importer customer who has an obligation to pay USD 1 million to overseas suppliers within the next 1 month. Customers have the view that the USD tends to strengthen against IDR and wants to get protection from the increase in the exchange rate. At the same time, customers also want to get the flexibility to buy USD at a cheaper rate, if it turns out the estimates are wrong. If at this time, the assumption of the Spot USD / IDR exchange rate = 8,800, customers are advised to buy a USD Call Option with a Strike rate = 9,000 and the premium paid is IDR 100. At the date of the exercise Option, if the Spot exchange rate (eg 9,200)> the Strike rate (9,000), the customer will exercise the Option (buy USD at the rate of 9,000). Conversely, if the Spot exchange rate (eg 8,700) <Strike rate (9,000), then the customer does not have to exercise an option and he will buy USD with a lower market rate. In this case, the customer's loss is only limited to the premium paid (IDR 100).	Suppose there are exporters who will receive a payment of USD 1 million from overseas buyers within the next 1 month. Customers have the view that the USD tends to weaken against IDR and wants to get protection from the decline in the exchange rate. At the same time, customers also want to get the flexibility to sell USD at a higher rate, if it turns out the estimates are wrong. If at this time, the assumption of the Spot USD / IDR exchange rate = 8.800, customers are advised to buy a Put Put USD with a Strike rate = 8,500 and the premium paid is IDR 100. At the date of the exercise Option, if the Spot exchange rate (eg 8,300) <Strike rate (8,500), then the customer will exercise Option (selling USD with the rate of 8,500). Conversely, if the Spot rate (for example 9,000)> Strike rate (8,500), then the customer does not have to exercise an option and he will sell USD with a higher market rate.
