According to the put-call parity theorem, the payoffs associated with ownership of a call option can be replicated by buying the underlying stock, borrowing the present value of the exercise price, and buying a put on the same underlying stock and with the same exercise price shorting the underlying stock, lending the present value of the exercise price, and buying a put on the same underlying stock and with the same exercise price shorting the underlying stock, borrowing the present value of the exercise price, and writing a put on the same underlying stock and with the same exercise price buying the underlying stock, borrowing the present value of the exercise price; and writing a put on the same underlying stock and with the same exercise price
True/false An option is a financial contract that gives the owner the right to buy or sell some asset at a fixed price on or before a given date. The put-call parity is derived based on the principal of no arbitrage. That is, the put-call parity equation holds only when the market is reasonably good enough so that arbitrage opportunities are not allowed. Today Jim bought a call option and Jill wrote a call option. The options are exactly the same (with the same underlying asset, same exercise price, same expiration date, same in every aspect). When the underlying stock price changes, for every dollar Jim gains, Jill loses a dollar, and vice versa. In reality, stock option contracts are based on the unit of 100 shares and expire on the third Friday of the month. An out of the money option means that if you exercise the option now you will be able to get money out of it.

A butterfly spread is a position in three options on the same underlying stock with different strikes. An investor buys one call with a strike K1 = 22, sells two calls with a strike K2 = 24 and buys one call with a strike K3 = 26. What is the payoff of the butterfly spread, if the stock price equals $26 at maturity?
The value derived from exercising an option immediately is the exercise value. No rational investor would exercise an option that is out-of-the-money, so the minimum exercise value is zero. The following table provides information regarding options on ABC Corp. stock. Because the stock’s price is volatile, investors trade options to either hedge their positions or speculate on price movements. Investors can either buy options or “issue” new options, which is called writing options. Based on your understanding of exercise value and option prices, complete the table with a strike price of $30.00: Stock Price ($) Strike Price ($) Exercise Value ($) Market Price of Option ($) Time Value ($) 20.00 30.00 0.00 1.56 40.00 30.00 12.10 2.10 50.00 30.00 22.40 2.40 55.00 30.00 25.00 27.60 60.00 30.00 34.00 4.00 After two weeks, the stock price of ABC Corp. increases to $62.40.
