Answer:

you should hold <u>76</u> shares of stock per 100 put options to hedge your risk.

Explanation:

Current stock price, S = $85

Risk-free rate of return, r = 5%

Standard Deviation, v = 25%

Exercise price, X = $90

expiration date, t (in years) = 30 days = 1 month = 1/12 = 0.083333 years

The option price (OP) is given by the formula:

OP = Xe^{-rt} * N(-d_{2} ) - S*N(-d_1)

d_1 = [ln(S/X) + (r + v^{2} /2)t]/vt^{0.5}\\d_1 =  [ln(85/90) + (0.05 + 0.25^{2} /2)*0.08333]/(0.25*0.08333^{0.5})\\d_1 = -0.6982

d_2 = d_1 - (vt^{0.5})\\d_2 = -0.6982 - (0.25*0.08333^{0.5})\\d_2 = -0.7704

Using the pro-metric calculator for the cumulative normal distribution:

N(-d1) = N(- (-0.6982)) = N(0.6982) = 0.75747

N(-d2) = N(-(-0.7704)) = N(0.7704) = 0.77947

OP = Xe^{-rt} * N(-d_{2} ) - S*N(-d_1)

OP =[ 90e^{(-0.05*0.08333)} * 0.77947] - (85*0.75747)\\OP = 5.48

Note that N(-d₁) = 0.76

This means that 76/100 (i.e to hedge your risk, you should hold 76 per 100 put options )

Answer:

b. Demand is unit elastic, and a decrease in price causes an increase in revenue

when the demand is elastin this relationship is inverve, teh increase in price generates a decrease in total revenue
