Flashcard 21: What is the key "price discovery" benefit of trading options in derivative markets?
Answer: Option prices reveal the market's expectation of the future price volatility of the underlying asset (implied volatility).
Flashcard 22: In Derivatives (Pricing of Options), how does an increase in the risk-free rate affect call and put option values?
Answer: It increases the value of call options and decreases the value of put options.
Flashcard 23: In options valuation, what formula determines the value of a Long Call option at expiration?
Answer: \[\text{Value} = \text{Max}(0, S - X)\] Where \(S\) is the spot price and \(X\) is the exercise price.
Flashcard 24: In Derivatives (Pricing of Options), how does a longer time to expiration generally affect call and put option values?
Answer: It generally increases the value of both call and put options (though some deep in-the-money European puts may lose value if time is extended).
Flashcard 25: In Derivatives (Pricing of Options), what is the lower bound formula for a European put option?
Answer: \[p_0 \ge \text{Max}[0, X(1 + R_f)^{-T} - S_0]\]
Flashcard 26: In Derivatives (Pricing of Options), what is the lower bound formula for a European call option?
Answer: \[c_0 \ge \text{Max}[0, S_0 - X(1 + R_f)^{-T}]\]
Flashcard 27: In Derivatives (Pricing of Options), what is the condition for a call option to be "in the money"?
Answer: When the price of the underlying asset \(S\) is greater than the exercise price \(X\) \((S - X > 0)\).
