Suppose you can purchase a share of KFC stock for $27. At the same
time a put option on
KFC maturing in one year with a strike price of $30 is selling
for $4.
a) If you buy 1000 shares and 1000 put options, how much would
it cost, and what value would your portfolio have in one year as a
function of the price of KFC stock at that time pT [draw a graph of
the latter]?
b) What should be the price of 1000 call options on KFC stock
maturing in one year with a strike price of $30?
