1. Bluefish has a put option that trades with a strike price of $74. The put option premium is $12. Determine the profit/loss on WRITING one Bluefish put option if at the option's expiration the stock price is $50.
2. Kingfish has call options trading with a strike price of
$77 and a premium of $10.
Determine the profit/loss to the buyer of the call option if at the
time of expiration the stock price is
$63.
> Formula
Profit/Loss Calculation
> Calculation
1) Put Option seller
Since, strike price > MarkePrice
Profit/loss = [ ( Market Price - Strike price ) + Option Premium ]
= [ (50-74) + 12 ]
= -12
The loss of $ 12.
2) Call Option Buyer
Since, strike price > Market Price, thus option lapse
Profit/loss = [ 0 - Option Premium ]
= [ 0 - 10 ]
= -10
The loss of $ 10.
Hope you understand the solution.
