In each case, provide a brief explanation. d. In a binomial world, if a stock is more likely to go up in price than to go down, an increase in volatility would increase the price of a call option and reduce the price of a put option. Note that a static position is a position that is chosen initially and not rebalanced through time.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements true? A call option price is increasing in stock return volatility A put option price is decreasing in stock return volatility I. II. A) I. and II. are true B) I. is true and II. is false C) II. is true and I. is false D) I. and II. are false |arrow_forwardKF1. Which statement is false? a All else being equal, options of the same strike will increase in price depending on the volatility of the underlying. b According to put-call parity, if a stock is trading for a price that is at-the-money, the put and the call should be trading at the same, or very close to, the same price. c A short put option is functionally the same as a long call option (it results in the same thing). d All statements are true e All statements are falsearrow_forward6. Explain why an option’s time value is greatest when the stock price is near the exercise price and why it nearly disappears when the option is deep in- or out-of-the- money.arrow_forward
- tHE CORRECT OPTION IS C but what is wrong with the last statement? The short position in the same call option has a zero value for all stock prices equal to or less than the exercise price. - Please explain how this statement is true? please give a detailed explanation and in simple terms.arrow_forwardWe showed in the text that the value of a call option increases with the volatility of the stock.

Which form of market efficiency is the best among weak, semi strong and strong? 2. Is stock market efficient? Give logic in favour of your answerarrow_forward

Show that the prices of the put and call will be equal if So = (1 + r)^Tarrow_forwardConsider two put options on the same stock with the same time to maturity. The strike price of Put A is less than the strike price of Put B. Which of the following is true? O It is possible for Put A to be in the money and Put B to be out of the money. O It is possible for Put A to be out of the money and Put B to be in the money. One of the options must be in the money.
