The common stock of the P.U.T.T. Corporation has been trading in a narrow price range for the past month, and you are convinced

it is going to break far out of that range in the next 3 months. You do not know whether it will go up or down, however. The current price of the stock is $120 per share, and the price of a 3-month call option at an exercise price of $120 is $8.89. a. If the risk-free interest rate is 8% per year, what must be the price of a 3-month put option on P.U.T.T. stock at an exercise price of $120? (The stock pays no dividends.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b. A straddle would be a simple options strategy to exploit your conviction about the stock price’s future movements. How far would it have to move in either direction for you to make a profit on your initial investment? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

A) according to put call parity:

price of put option = call option - stock price + [future value / (1 + risk free rate)ⁿ]

put = $8.89 - $120 + [$120 / (1 + 8%)¹/⁴] = $8.89 - $120 +$117.71 = $6.60

B) you have to purchase both a put and call option ⇒ straddle

the total cost of the investment = $8.89 + $6.60 = $15.496, this way you can make a profit if the stock price increases higher than $120 + $6.60 = $126.60 or decreases below than $120 - $6.60 = $113.40

IgorC [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": The line between electronic retailing and traditional retailing is blurring as traditional retailers go online.

Explanation:

Most purchases nowadays are being processed online. The easiness to access to a wide variety of products and the methods of payments causes more people to buy online. Besides, the number of retailer stores with mobile apps is increasing so there is no need to have a computer to make the purchases online since they can be made with a phone. This scenario is fading the line that used to separate traditional retailing with online retailing.
