Answer:
≈66 shares
Explanation:
Given data:
Current price ( S ) = $25
strike price ( K ) = $30
risk free rate ( r ) = 4% = 0.04
Standard deviation ( std ) = 30% = 0.3
In( s/k ) = In ( 25/30 ) = -0.1827
t = 30 / 365
To determine the number of shares of stock per 100 put options to hedge the risk we will apply the relation below
Number of shares to hedge risk = | N(d1) - 1 | * 100 ----- ( 1 )
where :
N(d1 ) = cumulative distribution function = 0.3394
back to equation 1 = 0.6606 * 100 = 66 shares
attached below is the remaining part of the solution
