Expert Solution
Step 1

Put option 

It gives its holder the right to sell the stock at the pre-specified price known as strike price at the future maturity date.

The pay off of put option is given as shown below.

Pay off=MaxStrike price-Stock price, 0

 

Based on this payoff, it can be concluded that

  • payoff or the option is in the money when strike price is more than stock price. In this case, the difference of strike and stock price will be a positive value, which will be the payoff.
  • payoff or the option is out of the money when strike price is less than stock price. In this case, the difference of strike and stock price will be a negative value.
  • payoff or the option is at the money when strike price is equal to stock price. In this case, the difference of strike and stock price will be zero.
