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

musickatia [10]
<span>In order to cut costs, most of the pay TV providers have incorporated large call centers where they hire poorly trained and low paid employees to answer customer calls. These employees lack incentive and generally don't care much about customers. One exception to the rule is DirecTV. They are known for the best customer service record in the industry. It uses outsourcing, but they have motivation, something lacking from other providers. Their reps get free satellite TV in their homes once they have been on the job for three months and are invited to special DirecTV events where they have chances to meet and greet celebrities and NFL stars. They are also given the ability to handle complaints themselves rather than just listening, noting and transferring calls.</span>
