you would expect the price quote to be at least $10 if the put had an exercise price of $40 and the underlying stock was selling for $50.
true or false
The payoff of Put option = Max (Exercise price - underlying stock price, 0)
In this case, the underlying price is higher than the exercise price. Hence there will be 0 payoff in this option.
Also, This option is significantly out of the money (out of money by $10).
Hence there won't be any buyer at such a higher price. Hence you would not expect the price quote to be at least $10.
This statement is false.
