Accounting

A prospective employee must choose between a $5,000 cash bonus, or 3,000 options to buy Telstar stock at $35.00 per share at her fifth anniversary with the firm. One option allows the employee to buy one share of Telstar.

What if the employee decided that the option was a better deal, but didnt want all of their financial wealth (as well as human capital or job) tied to the fortunes of Telstar. Assuming the employee works at Telstar for at least 5 years and accepts the option grant, what option strategies can be employed to protect the value of the stock options? You can assume that both long-term call and put options on Telstar with maturity up to 6 years are currently traded.
