Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 29PS
Option risk In Section 21-1, we used a simple one-step model to value two Amazon options each with an exercise price of $900. We showed that the call option could be replicated by borrowing $407.06 and investing $490.91 in .54545 share of Amazon stock. The put option could be replicated by selling short $409.10 of Amazon stock and lending $488.46.
- a. If the beta of Amazon stock is 1.5, what is the beta of the call according to the one-step model?
- b. What is the beta of the put?
- c. Suppose that you were to buy one call and invest the
present value of the exercise price in a bank loan. What would be the beta of your portfolio? - d. Suppose instead that you were to buy one share and one put option of Amazon. What would be the beta of your portfolio now?
- e. Your answers to parts (c) and (d) should be the same. Explain.
