Using the Websitehttps://www.option-price.com/index.php, determine the appropriate value or price of an option under the following conditions (use "3" the "rounding" parameter"):
Exercise price $90
Underlying stock price $90
Time between option expiration and today 30 days
Standard deviation of stocks returns 10%
Marketplace interest rates or avg. rate of return 8%
Dividend yield 5%
How would the price of this option change if the expiration date were 85 days from now, vs. 30 days?
Why does this difference (between 1 and 2) make sense?
Make up an example of a company in an industry and the conditions in the marketplace which might cause you to buy a "put option" for company A, in industry B stock...vs. a "call option" on some other company X in industry Y.
