Homework Answers
Correct option : Option (a) : Increase
An increase in maturity period of an option tends to increase the value of the option premium due to time value of money and a risk factor attached to it . An option price can be bifurcated into:
~ a difference between the current stock price and the strike price (Intrinsic Value)
and
~a consideration towards time value of option (Extrinsic value)
Hence, an option with a longer maturity would fetch a higher premium as compared to the one with a shorter maturity (keeping other things constant like strike price,risk free rate etc).
Hence, the correct option will be increase.

This would cause your company’s constant growth rate in earnings and dividends to rise from 5% to 9%. Currently, the require rate of return for your company is 10%. This expansion would cause the required rate of return to increase to 13%, due to additional risk. Would shareholders want management to make this change? (Hint, P0). Show calculations to support...
