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
Marketing was always my area of preference. So I was confident when I got through the MBA program at Duke. But writing all the assignments over the existing work load was proving to be too much for me. The online marketing assignment expert at TheReliableTutor saved my time and effort by conducting all the research and guiding me through the material.

After I moved to Australia to study Computer Science and Engineering, I found out that the things are quite different than what it used to be in the Indian universities. The course structure is much more practical oriented and thus the numbers of assignments are also more. I was clueless and was struggling to cope when I came across HwA. Thanks to them I got through my first two semesters with good grades and that boosted my confidence. Now I am pursuing my post-graduation from a Queensland based reputed technology university and still taking help from HwA.
Gary Roberts Student

The online marketing assignment help experts at HwA are extremely professional and available at all times of the day in case I need to clarify any facts.
Lora Hart Student
To be honest, chemical engineering is not my field. However, I had to deal with heat transfer assignments during one of my metallurgy assignments. The experts here are spot on and helped me get good grades without any hassle. The experience had been wonderful to say the least.
Peter Crow Student
The process capability assignment expert at HwA has helped me not only to write my assignment but also to better understand the theorem and ideas. This has helped me to solve the process capability analysis questions in exams and term papers accurately and get top grades.

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
