Textbook Question
Chapter 22, Problem 27QP
Two-State Option Pricing Model Rob wishes to buy a European put option on BioLabs, Inc., a non-dividend-paying common stock, with a strike price of $50 and six months until expiration. The company’s common stock is currently selling for $45 per share, and Rob expects that the stock price will either rise to $68 or fall to 537 in six months. Rob can borrow and lend at the risk-free EAR of 5 percent.
- a. What should the put option sell for today?
- b. If no options currently trade on the stock, is there a way to create a synthetic put option with identical payoffs to the put option just described? If there is, how would you do it?
- c. How much docs the synthetic put option cost? Is this greater than, less than, or equal to what the actual put option costs? Does this make sense?

- A put option in finance allows you to sell a share of stock at a given price in the future. There are different types of put options. A European put option allows you to sell a share of stock at a given price, called the exercise price, at a particular point in time after the purchase of the option. For example, suppose you purchase a six-month European put option for a share of stock with an exercise price of $26. If six months later, the stock price per share is $26 or more, the option has no value. If in six months the stock price is lower than $26 per share, then you can purchase the stock and immediately sell it at the higher exercise price of $26. If the price per share in six months is $22.50, you can purchase a share of the stock for $22.50 and then use the put option to immediately sell the share for $26. Your profit would be the difference, $26 − $22.50 = $3.50 per share, less the cost of the option. If you paid $1.00 per put option, then your profit would be $3.50 − $1.00…arrow_forwardA put option in finance allows you to sell a share of stock at a given price in the future.
