Summary

What is the value of the $1,000 call? 

First, calculate the payoff at expiry. Only the $1,050 and $1,100 bars are in the money, with $50 and $100 payoffs respectively. 

Second, calculate the value at expiry by multiplying by its probability, which results in a value of $8.33 for both bars in the money, resulting in an overall value of $16.66. 

 

What is the value of the $1,000 put? 

First, calculate the payoff at expiry. Only the $900 and $950 bars are in the money, with $100 and $50 payoffs respectively. 

Second, calculate the value at expiry by multiplying by its probability, which results in a value of $8.33 for both bars in the money, resulting in an overall value of $16.33. 

 

What is the value of the $1,025 call? 

First, calculate the payoff at expiry. Both the $1,050 and $1,100 bars are in the money and have a $25 and $75 payoff respectively. 

Second, calculate the value at expiry by multiplying by its probability, which results in a value of $4.16 for the $1,050 bar and $6.25 for the $1,100 bar, resulting in an overall value of $10.41.

 

What is the value of the $1,025 put?
