Explanation of Solution

Due to the inelastic nature of the demand for the agricultural products, the shift in the supply curve of the agricultural products leads to a large change in the equilibrium prices with a small change in the equilibrium quantity. In addition, a large change in the equilibrium prices results in a small effect on the equilibrium quantity of the agricultural products.

In Figure 1, the demand curve is relatively inelastic as compared to the supply curve. The new equilibrium (E2) shows that there has been a small change in the quantity of the  demand with the drastic change in the price.

The volatile nature of the exports increases the instability of the demand for the agricultural products. The exports change from year to year; so, there is an increase in the instability for the demand of the agricultural products.

Concept Introduction

Supply and demand of the agricultural products:  The demand for the agricultural products is inelastic in nature because a large change in the prices has a very small impact on the demand for the agricultural products. The supply of the agricultural products is elastic in nature.

5. Some people find options expensive and use more complex structures to reduce the cost. For example, consider buying a call with a strike of $55 and selling a call with a strike of $60. a. What is the cost of establishing this combined position? b. What is the payoff of the combined position if the market price goes to $60? c. What is the payoff of the combined position if the market price goes to $100?
3. An investor has $1,000 to invest. They believe the price of the underlier will increase to $60 within one year. a. How many shares of stock could they buy with the $1,000 at the current price of $50, and how much would they make if the share price increased to $60? b. How many calls with a strike of $55 could they buy for the same $1,000, and how much would they make if the share price increased to $60? c. How much would they make (or lose) from the stock and from the calls if the share price declined to $40? 4. What is the premium on a call with a strike of $0.01? Why is the premium so close to the $50 share price?
1. We want to examine the comparative statics of the Black Scholes model. Complete the following table using the Excel model from class or another of your choice. Provide the call premium and the put premium for each scenario. Underlier Risk-free Scenario price rate Volatility Time to expiration Strike Call premium Put premium Baseline $50 5% 25% 1 year $55 Higher strike $50 5% 25% 1 year $60 Higher volatility $50 5% 40% 1 year $55 Higher risk free $50 8% 25% 1 year $55 More time $50 5% 25% 2 years $55 2. Look at the baseline scenario. a. What is the probability that the call is exercised in the baseline scenario? b. What is the probability that the put is exercised? c. Explain why the probabilities sum to 1.
