An arbitrageur should lend $49.50 for one month, buy the stock, and write the put option
An arbitrageur should borrow $47.00 for one month, sell the stock, and write the put option
Zinc Company is currently trading for $30 per share. The stock pays no dividends. You
are interested in valuing a one-year at-the-money European put option on Zinc stock.
Assume that the volatility of Zinc stock is 40% per year and its beta is 0.95. The risk-free
interest rate is 6%.
(a) What is the intrinsic value of the put option? What is the time value of the put option?
Interpret these two values.
(b) You would like to replicate this put option using a portfolio of stocks and bonds. What
portfolio would you hold?
(c) What is the leverage ratio of the put option? What is the beta of the put option? Based
on your answers, discuss why investors may want to include put options in their
portfolios.
(d) If you hold an American put option, would it ever be optimal to exercise it early? If so,
under what circumstance?
Bank of America (BAC) is currently trading for $15 per share. The stock pays no dividends. A one-year European call option on BAC with a strike price of $16 is currently trading for $1.25.
