My question is for a synthetic call option why do we need to borrow the present value of the strike price and what does it mean in a simple language explanation. Similarly why do we need to lend the present value of the stock at risk-free rate and what does it mean in simple language explanation? Please also clarify the significance of risk free rate? Why is it used in put call parity. Synthetic Call Option: If an investor believes that a call option is over-priced, then he/she can sell the call on the market and replicate a synthetic call. Borrow the present value of the strike price at the risk free rate and purchase the underlying stock and a put. Synthetic Put Option: Similar to the synthetic call option. A synthetic put can be created by re-arranging the put-call parity relationship, if the trader believes the put is overvalued. Synthetic Stock: A synthetic stock can also be created by rearranging the put-call parity identity. In this case, the investor will buy the…
fill the missing words: a. For ( ) options, when the spot price is ( ) than(or equal to)the exercise price, then profit/loss equals the premium. b. For ( ) options, when the spot price is ( ) than (or equal to) the exercise price, then the profit/loss will be equal to the option premium.
Consider a call and a put options with the same strike price and time to expiry. Given that the strike price is exactly equals to the forward price, then: A. Put and call have same premium B. The premium of the put is equal to the forward price C. The premium of the put is equal to the premium of the call plus the present value of the strike D. The premium of the call is equal to the forward price
For each of the statements below, determine if they are TRUE/FALSE and briefly explain why. a) Delta hedging is most difficult for at-the-money options just before their expiration. b) A protective put with a higher strike price provides greater downside protection but lower upside gains. c) A covered call with a lower strike price provides greater downside protection but a lower maximum gain on the upside. d) It is possible to change the Gamma of a portfolio of options by adding the underlying assets to your position. e) You have delta hedged a long call position on a stock. The stock price drops. To maintain your hedge, you need to buy back some shares.

Consider the model of Black and Scholes. Consider the cash=or-nothing put option V (T) = 1{S(T)<= K} It pays out one unit of cash if the spot is below the strike at maturity. Evaluate the price of the option.
Consider the following two scenarios whereby the cost-of-carry model is violated. You are required to select appropriate missing words and fill in question 1. a. long b. spot c. over priced d. short arbitrage e. under priced f. long arbitrage g. futures h. short Question 1 a. If ft >S0 (1 + rf - d)^t, then the( ) is ( )relative to ( ) or equivalently, the quoted futures price is higher than what it should be. Thus, the correct arbitrage strategy should be: ( ) the futures contract and ( )the spot market. This strategy is also known as ( ). b. If ft <S0 (1 + rf - d)^t, then the( ) is ( )relative to ( ) or equivalently, the quoted futures price is lower than what it should be. Thus, the correct arbitrage strategy should be: ( ) the futures contract and ( )the spot market. This strategy is also known as ( ).

Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Group of answer choices Call options generally sell at a price greater than their exercise value, and the greater the exercise value, the higher the premium on the option is likely to be. Call options generally sell at a price below their exercise value, and the greater the exercise value, the lower the premium on the option is likely to be. Call options generally sell at a price below their exercise value, and the lower the exercise value, the lower the premium on the option is likely to be. Because of the put-call parity relationship, under equilibrium conditions a put option on a stock must sell at exactly the same price as a call option on the stock. If the underlying stock does not pay a dividend, it does not make good economic sense to exercise a call option prior to its expiration date, even if this would yield an immediate profit.
Consider a call option whose maturity date is T and strike price is K. At any time t < T, is it always the case that the call option's price must be greater than or equal to max(St – K,0), where St is the stock price at t? (Your answer cannot be more than 30 words.
