Question

The common stock of the C.A.L.L. Corporation has been trading in a narrow range around $50 per share for months. The price of a 3-month put option with an exercise price of $50 is $4. If the risk-free interest rate is 10% per year, what must be the price of a 3-month call option on C.A.L.L. stock at an exercise price of $50 if it is at the money

Answer 1

Answer:

$5.18

Explanation:

Calculation for call option

Using this formula

Call option=Put option + Exercise price-[Exercise price/(1+Risk-free interest rate)^Time

Let plug in the formula

Call option= 4 + 50 - [50/(1+.10)^1/4]

Call option= 4 + 50 - [50/(1.10)^1/4]

Call option= $5.18

Therefore what must be the price of a 3-month call option on C.A.L.L. stock at an exercise price of $50 if it is at the money is $5.18
