Step 1
a) Formula: C=P+S0X(19r)T
C= Call option price
P=Put option price
S0=Stock price
X=Exercise price
r= Risk-free rate
T= Time period
Step 2
C=$4+$50-$50(1+10%)312

b) Options are derivatives dependent on the valuation of underlying financial assets such as stocks. A contract for options allows the holder to purchase or sell the underlying asset, depending on the kind of deed they possess.
Step 4
Contrary to the future, if they prefer not, the holder must not purchase or sell the land. A call option allows the holder within a defined time span, the holder may buy the asset at a specified price. Put Options enable the holder to trade the resource within such a specified time period at a specified price.
Step 5
The technique of simple options is the sale of a straddle. Call for $5.18+$4=$9.18 to produce premium revenue.
