(Assume there are 252 trading days in a calendar year.) All else being equal, if AMZN decided to issue a surprise dividend, to be paid within the next 24 trading days, what would it do to the price of its options (calls and puts) maturing in 24 trading days? Calls and puts would both increase in price Calls and puts would both decrease in price Calls would increase in price, puts would decrease in price Calls would decrease in price, puts would increase in price
