Currently you own no stock options
Today’s data for Green Corporation, where the call and put have the same exercise price and expire
in one year:
strike price 32.50
put price 2.85
call price 1.65
stock price 30.00
If you construct a protective put strategy, which securities will you buy or sell, and what is your total investment today?
If stock price is $20 on the expiration date what will be the value of your portfolio (payoff) on that day, and your net profit?
In a protective put strategy, the underlying stock is bought and simultaneously a put option is bought on the underlying stock.
The stock will be bought at $30, and the put option of $32.50 strike will be bought at a premium of $2.85.
If stock price is $20 on the expiration date
Value of portfolio = value of stock + value of put option
value of put option = strike price - value of stock = $32.50 - $20 = $12.50
Value of portfolio = $20 + $12.50 = $32.50
Net profit = value of portfolio - purchase price of stock - premium paid
Net profit = $32.50 - $30 - $2.85
Net profit = -$0.35
