The common stock of the P.U.T.T. Corporation has been trading in a narrow price range for the past month, and you are convinced

it is going to break far out of that range in the next 3 months. You do not know whether it will go up or down, however. The current price of the stock is $125 per share, and the price of a 3-month call option at an exercise price of $125 is $6.93
a. If the risk-free interest rate is 5% per year, what must be the price of a 3-month put option on P.U.T.T. stock at an exercise price of $140?

Answer:

A) according to put call parity:

price of put option = call option - stock price + [future value / (1 + risk free rate)ⁿ]

put = $6.93 - $125 + [$140 / (1 + 5%)¹/⁴] = $6.93 - $125 +$138.30 = $20.23

B)

you have to purchase both a put and call option ⇒ straddle

the total cost of the investment = $6.93 + $20.23 = $27.16, this way you can make a profit if the stock price increases higher than $125 + $20.23 = $145.23 or decreases below than $125 - $20.23 = $104.77

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Bond price=$888.35

Explanation:

<em>The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate</em>

<em>Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV</em>

The value of bond for Local School District can be worked out as follows:

Step 1

PV of interest payments

PV = A × (1+r)^(-n)/r

A-annul interest payment:

= 7.5% × 1,000× = 75

r-Annual yield = 8.6%

n-Maturity period = 25  

PV of interest payment:

=75× (1- (1+0.086)^(-25)/0.086)

= 761.22

Step 2

<em>PV of Redemption Value</em>

= 1000 × (1.017)^(-25)

= $127.131

Step 3

<em>Price of bond</em>

=761.222 + 127.13

=$888.35

SVEN [57.7K]

Explanation:

  • Cell atrophy occurs in a decline in the size and number of cell cell types. Through cell atrophy, the cell reduced the absorption of oxygen and the development of mitochondria.
  • The size of the cell reduces. When faced with reduced work demands or unfavorable environmental factors, many cells are able to go back to a small size and to a lower and much more effective level of ability that is consistent with sustainability.
  • A reduction in the size of the cells is termed atrophy. The cell death cycle is not impaired.

Hence, it is the right answer.
