Problem 8. Consider a stock paying continuous dividends of 1%. Assumer 0.06,0 = 0.32 and today's stock price of So = 33. a) You sell 100 Calls with strike K = 35 and expiration in 68 days (assume 365 days in a year). You also construct a delta-hedge to manage your risk. (1) If tomorrow (1 day later) stock price rises to $34.50, find your net profit/loss from your hedged portfolio. Hint: don't forget about dividends! (2) Repeat this problem for the case of selling 100 Puts with strike K = 35 and all other parameters staying the same. Problem 8.
