Question

Accounting

  1. You have been working as a treasurer at Citibank for the past five years and have previously used swaps, futures and forward contracts to mitigate risk. However, you have never used options so you are interested in exploring the market. You want to start with small transactions and are considering purchasing a European put on a share for $3. The stock is 42 and the strike price is $40. Furthermore, you are also considering purchasing a call option with the same terms as the put option.

Consider the following questions:

  1. Under what circumstances does the investor make a profit? Under what circumstances will the options be exercised? Draw diagrams showing the variation of the investors profit. (4 marks)
  2. Derivatives are zero sum games. Justify the statement with the help of diagrams and the article shared in class. (4 marks)
