Each option gives the executive the right (but not the obligation) to purchase one share of the publishing company's stock for $50, as long as he does it before the closing of the stock market tomorrow afternoon. When the executive exercises either option (recall, he has two), he must immediately sell the stock bought from the company at the market prize in effect at the time. An option can only be exercised once. The stock's price today is $55. The executive knows this price today before deciding what to do today. Hence, if he exercises either option today he is guaranteed a profit of $5 per option exercised. The stock price tomorrow will either be $45 or $65 with equal probability. The executive will know the price tomorrow before deciding what to do that day. This means that if he waits until tomorrow and the stock price rises to $65, he can exercise any remaining options for a profit of $15 per…arrow_forwardsuppose that Charlie faces the same choice, but he always integrates the gains or losses of both days regardless of how he chooses to check his investment.
