Question:

(PCP) The current market price of a 2-month European put option on a nondividend-paying stock with strike price of $50 is $4. The stock price is $47 and the risk-free interest rate is 3%.

b. Would the above market prices still provide an arbitrage opportunity if the option has a 1-month maturity and the stock price is $46.877?
