Answer: b. The put price decreases to $3.50

Explanation:

Put - Call Parity refers to the relationship that a certain European Put has with a European Call of the same underlying asset, strike price, and expiration date.

If Put - Call Clarity holds then the options and the calls should move together when Volatility changes all else being equal.

In the above scenario, the price of the call DROPPED by $0.5 to $2.50.

This means that the Put Price must DROP AS WELL by $0.5 to $3.50 to maintain the Parity.

drek231 [11]

Answer: 2.36 years

Explanation:

Payback period is the amount of time it will take to pay off the initial investment/ outlay which in this case is $15,700.

= Year before investment is paid + (Amount remaining/ Cashflow in year of Payback)

Add up the cashflows to find the year before payback;

= 6,400 + 7,700

= $14,100

Year before payback = 2

Amount remaining;

= 15,700 - 14,100

= $1,600

Payback period = 2 + (1,600/ 4,500)

= 2.36 years
