Question
Q. A friend of yours tells you she holds an American call option that is very deep-
in-the-money. She tells you she’s going to exercise it now and cash in on her
winnings. Is this a wise move to make?
- The answer to this question is given below but I don't understand the explanation, please clearly explain in simple terms.
No, she should sell it. Sell now you get intrinsic value PLUS time value,
rather than exercise now which leads to just S-X.

- what happens If you would lose money by exercising an option immediatelyarrow_forwardTrue/false An option is a financial contract that gives the owner the right to buy or sell some asset at a fixed price on or before a given date. The put-call parity is derived based on the principal of no arbitrage. That is, the put-call parity equation holds only when the market is reasonably good enough so that arbitrage opportunities are not allowed. Today Jim bought a call option and Jill wrote a call option. The options are exactly the same (with the same underlying asset, same exercise price, same expiration date, same in every aspect). When the underlying stock price changes, for every dollar Jim gains, Jill loses a dollar, and vice versa. In reality, stock option contracts are based on the unit of 100 shares and expire on the third Friday of the month. An out of the money option means that if you exercise the option now you will be able to get money out of it.arrow_forwardOptions have a unique set of terminology.

Is what I've done so far correct? And how do I finish up the problem? Here is the question: Suppose that C is the price of a European call option to purchase a security whose present price is S. Show that if C>S then there is an opportunity for arbitrage (i.e. risk-less profit). You may assume the interest rate is r=0 so that the present value calculations are unnecessary. My work so far: There is an opportunity for arbitrage if we can create a portfolio that initially (time t=0) generates a zero net cash flow or a cash inflow, but still produce a positive or zero cash inflow at the time of expiration. Assume we are going to short sell one call option C, and buy one stock S. Consider the cash flows at time t=0.Cash flow of selling one call option: +CCash flow of buying one stock: -STherefore, since C>S, we have an initial cash inflow of C-S>0. We will now…arrow_forward1.
