Explanation:
The equation is inconsistent with the put-call parity equation. The put-call parity equation is given by , where 'c' is the call price, 'p' is the put price, is the present value of a zero-coupon bond, and 'S' is the current price of the stock. Rearranging this equation, we get , which is the price of a call option. The equation in choice C rearranges the terms in a way that does not represent any of the individual securities in the put-call parity relationship, making it inconsistent with the put-call parity equation.
Choice A is correct in representing put-call parity. It states that the price of the underlying asset (S) is equal to the price of a call option (c) minus the price of a put option (p), plus the present value of strike price .
Choice B is correct in representing put-call parity. It states that the price of a put option (p) equals call option's price (c) minus underlying asset's current market value (S), plus present value of strike price .
Choice D is correct in representing put-call parity. It states that call option's cost (c) equals current market value (S) plus cost of protective put (p), minus present discounted value of exercise or strike price .
Q.760 The put-call parity relation suggests that the portfolios with identical payoffs must sell for the same price in order to prevent arbitrage profit or riskless gains. The put-call parity is, therefore, constructed of the fiduciary call and protective put options. Which of the following equation is inconsistent with the put-call parity equation?
A
B
C
D
