Answer:
The value of the put option is;
e. $9.00
Explanation:
To determine the value of the put option can be expressed as;
C(t)-P(t)=S(t)-K.e^(-rt)
where;
C(t)=value of the call at time t
P(t)=value of the put at time t
S(t)=current price of the stock
K=strike price
r=annual risk free rate
t=duration of call option
In our case;
C(t)=$7.2
P(t)=unknown
S(t)=$50
K=$55
r=6%=6/100=0.06
t=1 year
replacing;
7.2-P=50-55×e^(-0.06×1)
7.2-P=50-(55×0.942)
7.2-P=50-51.797
P=51.797+7.2-50
P=$8.997 rounded off to 2 decimal places=$9.00
