Step-by-step explanation:
An option to buy a stock is priced at $150. If the stock closes above 30 next Thursday, the option will be worth $1000. If it closes below 20, the option will be worth nothing, and if it closes between 20 and 30, the option will be worth $200. A trader thinks there is a 50% chance that the stock will close in the 20-30 range, a 20% chance that it will close above 30, and a 30% chance that it will fall below 20.
a) Let X represent the price of the option
<h3><u> x P(X=x) </u></h3>
$1000 20/100 = 0.2
$200 50/100 = 0.5
$0 30/100 = 0.3
b) Expected option price
Therefore expected gain = $300 - $150 = $150
c) The trader should buy the stock. Since there is an positive expected gain($150) in trading that stock option.
Answer:
D = 0; one real root
Step-by-step explanation:
Discriminant Formula:
First, arrange the expression or equation in ax^2+bx+c = 0.
Add both sides by 9.
Compare the coefficients so we can substitute in the formula.
- a = 1
- b = 6
- c = 9
Substitute a = 1, b = 6 and c = 9 in the formula.
Since D = 0, the type of solution is one real root.
