Investors trade call options for Learn Corp., whose stock is currently trading at $18.00. Suppose you are interested in buying a call option with a strike price of $25.20 that expires in 6 months. (Assume that you get the option for free!) Based on speculations and probability analysis, you compute and collect the following information for your price analysis of the option: • For LC’s options, time until expiration (t) is taken as 0.50 year (6 months/12 months). • LC’s stock could go up by a factor of 1.50 (u). • LC’s stock could decline by a factor of 0.60 (d). At this time, LC’s stock price is , and if you exercised the option, your payoff would be . Therefore, if the option is out-of-the-money, you exercise the option.
