Answer:

The price of an European Put Option = $4.03

Explanation:

Hi, you have to use a formula for the evaluation of an European put option on an underlying, which does not pay dividends. This equation follows the Black & Scholes-Merton model.

This is the model for a put option

p(s,t)=-SN(-d1)+Ke^{-rt}N(-d2)

N(-d1) is the cumulative normal distribution function, calculated as follows.

d1 =\frac{Ln(S/K)+(r+\frac{sigma^{2}}{2})t  }{sigma\sqrt{t} }

for N(-d2) yoou have to make the following calculation

d2=d1-sigma\sqrt{t}

where:

K = Opcion strike price

N = Standard normal cumulative distribution function

r = Risk Free interest rate

σ = Volatility of the underlying

S = Price of the underlying

t = Time to option´s expiry

Here are the result of all the above calculations

S= $79.00    

K= $77.00    

r = 6% annual  

sigma =25% annnual  

t = 0.67  years (That is 8/12 to turn months into years )

d1 = 0.42  

d2 = 0.22  

N(-d1) = 0.335913098

N(-d2) = 0.41312295

e^(-rt) = 0.960789439

 

p(s,t)= - 79(0.3359...) + 77(0.9607...)(0.413122...) = $4.03

Notice the excel spreadsheet attached.

best of luck .

Wage and price stickiness Select one: a. gives rise to a vertical long-run aggregate supply curve. b. gives rise to a vertical s
Tresset [83]

Answer:

d. prevents the economy from producing its potential level of real GDP.

Explanation:

Price-stickiness or Wage-stickiness, is a term that describes a condition in which a nominal price or wage is resistant to change. Often referred to as Nominal Rigidity, this occurs when a price or wage is fixed in nominal terms for a given period of time.

In other words, Price stickiness or Wage Stickiness occurs when workers' earnings or price don't adjust quickly to changes in labor market conditions, thereby creating sustained periods of shortage or surplus.

Hence, Price and Wage stickiness prevent the economy from achieving its natural level of employment and its potential output, which in turn prevents the economy from producing its potential level of real GDP.
