    The maximum future dollar cost of meeting this obligation using the call option is $6,545,400

    Explanation:

    payable obligation = 750,000,000 YEN

    premium payable on call option = 750,000,000*0.012

    = $90,000

    the interest rate is 6%

    future value of call option premium = $90,000 (1+0.06)

    = $95,400

    As the expected future spot price is 109 YEN per dollar which is higher than exercise price of $0.0086

    Amount payable under call option = (750,000,000*$0.0086) + $95400

    = $6,545,400

    Therefore, The maximum future dollar cost of meeting this obligation using the call option is $6,545,400
