Session 17: Derivatives
Reading 71: Option Markets and Contracts

LOS p: Indicate the directional effect of an interest rate change or volatility change on an option's price.

Value of a call option Value of a put option

A)

Greater volatility in the price of the underlying asset increases the values of both puts and calls because options are “one-sided.” Since an option’s value can fall no lower than zero (it expires out of the money), increased volatility increases an option’s upside potential but does not increase its downside exposure.

For stock options, which of the following will least likely increase put option values and decrease call option values?

A)
A decrease in the riskless rate of interest.
B)
An increase in the riskless rate of interest.
C)
An increase in the exercise price.


An increase in the riskless rate of interest will decrease put option values and increase call option values.
