A stock is trading at $58. You believe there is a 70% chance the price of the stock will increase by 10% over the next 3 months.

Answer: $498

Explanation:

A Put is an option that will only be exercised if the price of the underlying security which is the stock in this case, falls below the current price of $58.

This means that we will not include the 70% chance of increase in our calculation.

In a contract, there are 100 shares.

Expected profit = Contract price - (Prob. of dropping by 10% * 10% of stock) - (Prob. of dropping by 20% * 20% of stock)

= 730 - ( 20% * 10% * 58 * 100) - (10% * 20% * 58 * 100)

= 730 - 116 - 116

= $498

Serga [27]

Answer: Total Revenue is $100 and the price elasticity is 0.4

Explanation: total revenue is computed as Price * Quantity

$0.5 * 200= $100

Elasticity is the degree of responsiveness of quantity demanded to a change in price.

Old price $1

New price $0.5

Old quantity 75

New quantity 200

Formula- % change in quantity demanded / % change in pride

NB change is (old-new)

Change in Qd= (75-200) / 75 =-1.67

Change in price=(1-0.5)/1=0.5

-1.67/0.5= -3.34

The negative is ignored in price elasticity and the answer is 3.34 which means the product is Elastic
