Suppose you hold LLL employee stock options representing options to buy 10,400 shares of LLL stock. LLL accountants estimated the value of these options using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula and the following assumptions:
S = current stock price = $24.67
K = option strike price = $25
r = risk-free interest rate = .042
s = stock volatility = .32
T = time to expiration = 3.5 years
You wish to hedge your position by buying put options with three-month expirations and a $30 strike price. How many put option contracts are required?
