- Suppose a put option has X=103 and Premium=16. For a strategy that sells this put, what is the minimum profit? 16arrow_forwardThree put options on a stock have the same expiration date and strike prices of $55, $60, and $65. The market prices are $3, $5, and $8, respectively. Explain how a butterfly spread can be created. Draw a profit diagram of your strategy to communicate the range of stock prices that the butterfly spread would lead to a loss. (When you draw a profit diagram, please, do consider option premia.arrow_forwardThis is very simple question, pls solve it quicklyarrow_forward
- Consider the model of Black and Scholes. Consider the cash=or-nothing put option V (T) = 1{S(T)<= K} It pays out one unit of cash if the spot is below the strike at maturity. Evaluate the price of the option.arrow_forwardThree call options on a stock have the same expiration date and strike prices of $55, $60, and $65. The market prices are $8, $5, and $3, respectively. Explain how a butterfly spread can be created. Construct a table showing the profit from the strategy. For what range of stock prices would the butterfly spread lead to a loss?arrow_forwardSuppose that put options on a stock with strike prices $18 and $20 cost $2 and $3.50, respectively. How can the options be used to create a bull spread? Construct atable that shows the profit and payoff for the spread.arrow_forward
- If put A has T = 0.5, X = 50, sigma = 0.2, and a price of 10, and put B has T = 0.5, X = 50, sigma = 0.2, and a price of 12, which put is written on a stock with a lower price (and why)?arrow_forwardUse the put-call parity relationship to demonstrate that an at-the-money call option on a nondividend-paying stock must cost more than an at-the-money put option. Show that the prices of the put and call will be equal if S0 = (1 + r)T..arrow_forward* Consider the following portfolio II: long one call with exercise price E₁, long one put with exercise price E2, short one call with exercise price E, and short one put with exercise price E1+E2 E. Consider the case E₁ < E < E2 where E < 2 ⚫ (a) Write down the pay-off function A(S) for the portfolio II. • • (b) What is the value of the pay-off function when S < E₁? (c) What is the value of the pay-off function when E < S < E₂?arrow_forward
- We showed in the text that the value of a call option increases with the volatility of the stock. Is this also true of put option values? Use the put-call parity theorem as well as a numerical example to prove your answer.arrow_forward4. Valuation of a Derivative Consider a derivative on a stock with the time to expiration T and the following payoff: 0 K₁ 0 if ST K₁. What is the present value of the derivative? Provide an analytic expression of the price using N(), the cumulative probability distribution function of a standard normal random variable.arrow_forwardWhen the required returns on all stocks are graphed against their corresponding betas, Question 16Answer a.we obtain the security market line b.No option is correct c.we obtain the beta d.we obtain the return linearrow_forward
