    Answer is A. Lost $100.

    Refer below for the explanation.

    Explanation:

    Short position includes selling the money.

    You will get (1.5 * 1,000) = $1,500.

    In any case, you could get (1.6 * 1,000) = $1,600

    In the event that you didn't have the forward agreement.

    So you lost $1,600 - $1,500 = $100.
