3. Suppose that an investor holds a share of Sophia common stock, currently valued at $50.

She is concerned that over the next few months the value of her holding might decline, and

she would like to hedge that risk by supplementing her holding with one of three different

derivative positions, all of which expire at the same point in the future:

1. The short position in a forward with a contract price of $50: We must assume that a

Short forward is when the Forward contract holder is the seller and interpreted that

there is no initial premium.

2. The long position in a put option with an exercise price of $50 and a front-end

premium expense of $3.23: We see a long Put when the holder has the option to

purchase the Put option long-term. Therefore, at the expiration date, if the market

price is less than the contract price, the holder can exercise the option if, the

expiration date of the market price exceeds the contract price, the holder does not

exercise the option.

3. Understanding that a short position in a call option with an exercise price of $50 and a

front-end premium receipt of $5.20, the Short Call holder sells the call option at an

exercise price of $50 and receives a premium of $5.20, and is considered as the writer

of the call option.

a. By using a table similar to the following, we are able to calculate the expiration

date value of the investor’s combined (stock and derivative) position. However, in

calculating net portfolio value, we would ignore the time differential between the

initial derivative expense or receipt and the terminal payoff.

b. We see each of the three hedge portfolios, graph the expiration date value of

Sophia combined position on the vertical axis, with the potential expiration date

sharing the prices of Sophia stock on the horizontal axis.

c. C Assuming that the options are priced fairly, use the concept of put–call parity to

calculate the zero-value contract price (F0,T) for a forward agreement on Sophia stock.
