Finance

Strike 50 Call premium =9

The premium has two components :

.1 Intrinsic Value

.2 Time Value

The buyer has the right to BUY at 50

If the spot Price is say, 55

The buyer will make gain of 5 if he can immediately exercise his right to buy .

He will buy at 50 and sell at 55.

Hence , the intrinsic value of the call option will be 5 and remaining 4 will be time value

For a given expiry , the Intrinsic value is constant , the premium varies with strike price based on the intrinsic value

If strike 50 has a premium =9,

Strike 55 should have a lower premium.

If spot price is 55, the intrinsic value is Nil and the premium should be =4

In this case the premium is 10, which gives rise to arbitrage opportunity.

ARBITRAGE STRATEGY:

BUY CALL at Strike 50

SELL CALL at strike 55

Net Cash inflow =-9+10=1

Assume price at expiration =S

Payoff for BUY call option Strike 50=Max.(S-50),0)

Payoff for SELL call option Strike 55=Min.(55-S),0)

The Payoffs and Net profit at different Expiration Price is given below:
