You short a put option for a price of $2.5 per share with an exercise price of $150. And the current underlying stock price is $154. What is the break-even stock price for your investment?
Please provide steps of calculation.
the answer is not 147.5. please do not copy and paste a wrong answer.
Shorting a put option means you have the obligation to buy the stock @ $150.
you have recieved the premium of $ 2.5, therefore there is no investment.
therefore there is no break even point ( = 0 ) in terms of investment.
The opposite party has the right to sell the share @ $150 , he will exercise his right only if the market price is below $150 otherwise he will sell the stock in market at above $150.
However you will get loss if the market price goes below $147.5 (150-2.5) i.e.,there will be an outlay of funds.
thank you :)
