Answer:
False
Explanation:
A put option buyer purchases a right to sell a currency on expiry date at a pre determined exercise price or strike price. Put buyer is not under any obligation to sell the option. He will only exercise the right when it is beneficial for him.
3 terms are relevant here,
OP= Option premium paid
CMP= Current Market Price
EP= Exercise or strike price
A put buyer gains when his exercise price is more than the CMP on the expiry date.
His gain is = EP - CMP - OP
So, when exercise price as reduced by option premium paid is equal to current market price, break even point for a put buyer is reached.
Hence the given statement is false.
