    The settle price at which you will get a demand for additional funds to be posted is $1.4840 per €.

    Explanation:

    Provided data from the question;

    Futures contract to buy in euros = €62,500

    Future contract to buy in dollar = $93,750 (€62,500 * $1.50)

    Initial performance of bond = $1,500

    Maintenance level = $500

    To determine the settle price at which you get a demand for additional funds to be posted =

    Future contract to buy in dollar - (initial bond performance - maintenance level) : future contract to in euros

    $93,750 - ($1,500 - $500)

    = $93,750 - $1,000

    $92,750 : €62,500

    = $1.484
