Answer:

The net loss of the trader amounts to $1,000, which means the correct option is A

Explanation:

The payoff is computed as:

Payoff = Strike price - Option's Stock price

where

Strike price is $90

Option's Stock Price is $85

Putting the values above:

Payoff = $90 - $85

= $5 per option

The trader bought 200 options, so the payoff would be:

Payoff = Options × Price per option

= 200 × $5

= $1,000

And the option cost would be:

Option cost = Options × Option Price

= 200 × $10

= $2,000

So, there computing net loss or gain as:

Net loss or gain = Payoff - Option cost

= $1,000 - $2,000

= $1,000 ( net loss)

Therefore, the correct option is A

Determinants of market interest rates
ollegr [7]

Answer:

1. Real risk-free rate.

2. Nominal risk free-rate.

3. Inflation premium.

4. Liquidity risk premium.

5. Liquidity risk premium.

6. Maturity risk premium.

Explanation:

Market interest rates can be defined as the amount of interests (money) paid by an individual on deposits and other financial securities or investments. The factors that typically affect the market interest rate known as the determinant of market interest rates are;

1. This is the rate on short-term U.S. Treasury securities, assuming there is no inflation: Real risk-free rate r*

2. It is calculated by adding the inflation premium to r*: Nominal risk free rate.

3. This is the premium added to the real risk-free rate to compensate for a decrease in purchasing power over time: Inflation premium.

4. This is the premium added as a compensation for the risk that an investor will not get paid in full: Liquidity risk premium.

5. This premium is added when a security lacks marketability, because it cannot be bought and sold quickly without losing value: Liquidity risk premium.

6. This is the premium that reflects the risk associated with changes in interest rates for a long-term security: Maturity risk premium.
