Suppose you have $30,000 to invest. You’re considering Miller-Moore Equine Enterprises (MMEE), which is currently selling for $53 per share. You also notice that a call option with a $53 strike price and 8 months to maturity is available. The premium is $4. MMEE pays no dividends.
What is your annualized percentage return if you invest in stocks if, in 8 months, MMEE is selling for $58 per share?
Here the Investment is being made in the stocks , therefore, the return can be calculated based on the change in the price.
P1 = $58
Po = $53
Period = 8 months
Annualized rate of return = (P1-Po)/Po x 12/ period
= (58-53)/53 x 12/8
= 0.0943396 x 1.5
= 14.15%
