问题如下:
Which of Sousa’s reasons for the decrease in the value of the interest rate option is correct?
选项:
A.
Reason 1 only
B.
Reason 2 only
C.
Both Reason 1 and Reason 2
解释:
A is correct.
Reason 1 is correct: A higher exercise price does lower the exercise value (payoff) at Time 2. Reason 2 is not correct because the risk-neutral probabilities are based on the paths that interest rates take, which are determined by the market and not the details of a particular option contract.
中文解析:
根据c=max{0,ST -X}可知,当行权价越高,看涨期权的行权价值越低;且期权的行权价值与风险中性概率无关。因此只有表述1正确,选A。
之前的回答对reason 2 只解释了风险中性概率和执行价格无关,那为什么不能是执行价格和风险中性概率的改变分别影响了value呢?
