Answer 1

Answer:

The price of a 6-month call option on C.A.L.L. stock is $13.52

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

P = Price of 6-months put option=$10.50.

So = Current price=$125

X = Exrecise price=$125

r = Risk free interest rate= 5%

T = Time 6 months = 1/2

In order to calculate the price of a 6-month call option on C.A.L.L. stock at an exercise price of $125 if it is at the money, we would have to use the formula of put-call parity as follows:

C=P+So- (   X   )

              ( 1+r)∧T

C=$10.50+$125-($125   )

                            (1+0.05)∧1/2

C=$135.5-121.98

C=$13.52

The price of a 6-month call option on C.A.L.L. stock is $13.52
