问题如下:
A trader creates a bear spread using put options with strike prices of USD 25 and USD 30 and the same time to maturity. The options cost USD 2 and USD 4.50 (respectively). Under what circumstances will the trade be profitable?
选项:
解释:
It costs USD 2.50 to set up the bear spread. If the asset price is between USD 27 .50 and USD 30, the payoff from the spread will be less than USD 2.50. If it is less than USD 27.50, the payoff will be between USD 2.50 and USD 5. Thus, the trade will be profitable if the price of the asset at maturity is less than USD 27.50.
想请问一下老师,为什么这道题就自然地讨论股票价格小于27.5和大于27.5的情况,答案看明白了,但是不知道怎么想到27.5
