Question
(a) The price of a European put on XYZ stock that matures in six months and has
a strike price of £60 is £10. XYZ is currently priced at £65 per share, and is
sure to pay a £10 dividend in three months. The continuously compounded
risk-free rate is 8% per year for all maturities. What is the price of a European
call on XYZ stock with the same maturity (six months) and strike (£60)? Show
in detail how you would create an arbitrage if the call price were in fact £1 less
than the theoretical price.
(b) What can you conclude about the call price in part (a) if the stock cannot be sold
short either in the spot nor in the forward markets?
