问题如下:
If an underlying asset’s price is less than a related option’s strike price at expiration, a protective put position on that asset versus a fiduciary call position has a value that is:
选项:
A. lower.
B. the same.
C. higher.
解释:
B is correct. On the one hand, buying a call option on an asset and a risk- free bond with the same maturity is known as a fiduciary call. If an underlying asset’s price is less than a related option’s strike price at expiration,the total value of the fiduciary call is X. On the other hand, holding an underlying asset, ST, and buying a put on that asset is known as a protective put. the total value of the protective put is(X-ST)+ST = X . A protective put and a fiduciary call produce the same result.
