One feature of pure monopoly is that the firm is a price maker. This type of monopoly exists when one certain company is only the source for a certain product and there are no any present substitutes in the market. For this case, the business firm is equal to the industry. Due to this, they would have the freedom of setting their own prices since they have the freedom to control their supply.. This type of monopoly is very rare since to do this, the company should be able to block and prevent all possible competitors from entering. Examples of these would be utility companies that are present in certain small towns where they are the only source of the utilities.<span />

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

mariarad [96]

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
