Put Strike = $ 195 and Underlying Asset Price = $ 170, Put Premium = $ 1
Protective Put implies holding a long position in the underlying asset while purchasing a put option.
Put Payoff = (Strike Price - Underlying Asset Price) - Put Premium = 195 - 170 - 1 = $ 24
Using strike 195, and S1 $170, calculate the payoff and profit of a protective put.v
Using strike 225 and S1 $250 construct a long straddle and determine the profit and ROI.
3. Construct profit and payoff diagrams for the following: a) Long a 105 strike straddle. b) Short a 95 strike straddle. c) Combine a) and b) in a single portfolio.
A protective put consists of a long put strike at 4, premium of $3.5, and a long stock that was bought at $38. What is the profit of the protective put if the stock price is? a. $35? b. $42? An investor sells a European call on a share for $13. The strike price is $36. Under what circumstances does the investor make a profit? Under what circumstances will the option be exercised? Draw a diagram showing the variation of...
A trader creates a long butterfly spread from put options with strike prices of $160, $170, and $180 per share by trading a total of 20 option contracts (5 contracts at $160, 10 contracts at $170 and 5 contracts at $180). Each contract is written on 100 shares of stock. The options are worth $22, $28, and $36 per share of stock. What is the value (payoff) of the butterfly spread at maturity as a function of the then stock...

The following payoff table shows the profit for a decision problem with two states of nature and two decision alternatives: State of Nature Decision Alternative s1 10 4 S2 d1 d2 (a) Suppose P(S1)-0.2 ad P(s2)-0.8. What is the best decision using the expected value approach? Round your answer in one decimal place The best decision is decision alternative d2 , with an expected value of 3.2 (b) Perform sensitivity analysis on the payoffs for decision alternative d1. Assume the...
Suppose that put options on a stock with strike prices $25 and 5 month maturity costs $3. Suppose the current stock price is $24. (a) How can those securities be used to create a protective put? (b) What is the initial investment? (c) Construct a table showing how the payoff and profit varies with ST in 5 month, for the protective put you created. Whenever you need to refer to stock price on expiration date, use ST . The only...
Using strike 225, and S1 $300, do a covered call. What do you conclude about maximum gain?
