Explain how each trader would set up a strategy to carry


Explain how each trader would set up a strategy to carry out their intended purpose. Be as specific as possible in each case, by providing details about the strategy: the position (whether long or short), the size of the exposure (notional amount), the number of contracts involved (if more than one), the expiration date of the contracts, etc. In each case, explain whether the trader will realize a profit or a loss if the underlying asset/variable increases by 10%. An institutional trader is tasked with seeking out arbitrage opportunities, and is particularly focused on price discrepancies between put and call options on Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) stock. The institutional trader finds a European call option trading at $23.00, and a European put option trading at $5.00, when the stock price is $175.00. Both options have an exercise price of $160.00, and a maturity of six months. The risk-free interest rate is 2.0% (continuously compounded). 1. Does put-call parity hold? If not, then describe the arbitrage opportunity (see attachment table 11.3). 2. Will the institutional trader realize a profit or a loss if Apple’s stock price increases by 10% over the next six months?
