Question

g A speculator buys a call option for $3, with an exercise price of $50. The stock is currently priced at $49, and rises to $55 on the expiration date. What is the stock price at which the speculator would break even

Answer 1

$53

Step-by-step explanation:

Call option is $3

Exercise price is $50

The stock is currently priced at $49

It rises to $55 on the expiration date

Therefore the cost price at which the speculator will break even can be calculated as follows

= ($50-$3)+($55-$49)

= $47 + $6

= $53
