Calculation of Options with Intrinsic Value and Call
Question
Consider that on a recent day, Wal Mart Stock closed at $55.19 per share, down by $0.05 on the day. In the questions that follow, use the “Last Sale” column to answer questions which involve option pricing.
1. a. What was the premium on the ‘13 Sept. WMT 47.50 call, i.e., the Wal Mart call which expires in Sept. 2013 and has a strike price of $47.50?
b. How much would an investor who wanted to buy 1 contract of the ’13 Sept. WMT 47.50 call option have had to spend?
c. What is the formula for the intrinsic value of a call? What was the intrinsic value of the ’13 Aug. WMT 50 call? Was this option “in the money” or “out of the money”? What was the time value of this option?
d. Was the ’13 Sept. WMT 60 call in or out of the money? What was the intrinsic value of this option? What was the time value of this option?
e. What was the premium on the ’13 Sept. WMT 60 put? Was this option in or out of the money? What was the intrinsic value of this put? What is the time value?
f. What was the intrinsic value of the ’13 Aug. WMT 50 put? Was this option in or out of the money? What was the option’s time value?
2. On a recent day, Microsoft stock (symbol: MSFT) was at $25. Assume the nearby MSFT 25 call was selling for $1. Draw a hockey stick diagram for a long position in the MSFT 25 call.
3. a. If the MSFT 24 call is selling for $2.50, and the MSFT 25 call is selling for $1, construct a bull spread using these calls.
b. Construct a table like the ones we did in class showing profit and loss at relevant stock prices for each part of the spread, and the net profit or loss for the entire spread position. Draw a hockey stick diagram for the spread, clearly labeling all the critical points.
4. Consider a “long strangle” constructed from options which have an expiration date of August 16, 2013 (the third Friday in August). The following table displays the possible prices of Boeing stock on August 16, as well as the payoffs accruing to someone who holds a long strangle on Boeing stock:
Probability 0.2 0.3 0.2 0.2 0.1
Stock price $80 $90 $100 $110 $120
Gain from long strangle $15 $5 $0 $10 $20
A long strangle is created using two options. For each option in the strangle above, indicate whether it is a put or a call, whether it is bought or sold, and calculate what its strike price is. Explain your answer.
Please find Wal Mart Stores data in the PDF document attached.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I was stuck with a strategic human resource management assignment when I first took help from HwA. The corporate strategy assignment expert was wonderful and since then I have taken assistance many more times.
Jackie Campbell Student
I used to always avoid metallurgy and concentrated in other sections of chemical engineering. However, a miracle happened 2 years ago. As I was stuck with my mechanical properties assignment, I came across HwA. Now, thanks to them, in my last semester I am thinking of doing my master degree in metallurgy. The material science experts of HwA did not only help me get good grades in the material science assignments but at the same time made me fall in love.
Lynn Macdonald Student
I had a research assignment where I needed to write a report on the local markets of New South Wales. It was difficult getting help online as most of these assignment help services are located abroad somewhere in USA or UK. I was happy to see that TheReliableTutor.com has tutors from not only Australia, but New South Wales itself and they cater specifically to students like us, who are from or studying in Australia.
Olivia Forsyth Student
I was really struggling with the Networking engineering dissertation topic, my professor asked me to work on, in my last semester. Then I came across TheReliableTutor and they really have brilliant engineering dissertation and thesis writers. The experts have worked on my Engineering Questions since then and now I am in my 7th semester and still never got below grade A in any of my Electrical Engineering Assignments.
Tracey Jones Student
I had no clue about how to write a qualitative research paper on Faulkner and so I approached TheReliableTutor.com. I was also not sure whether they could help me or not but to my surprise they started asking the right kind of questions to me. When I clarified them with my professor, she was impressed and told me that I understood the concept of a research paper. The rest of it was a walk in the park. With my professor’s inputs they provided an excellent research paper and help me get an A

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
