A customer owning 100 shares of stock could receive protection by:

B. buying a call
C. buying a put
D. selling a put

The best answer is C.

In order to hedge a long stock position against a downside market move, the best choice is to buy a put. The long put option allows the holder to put (sell) the stock at the exercise price if the market falls - protecting the stock position from downside market risk.

A customer buys 100 shares of XYZ stock at $80 and buys 1 XYZ Oct 80 Put @ $3 on the same day in a cash account. The stock rises to $88. The put expires and the customer sells the stock in the market at the current price. The customer has a(n):

A. $300 loss
B. $300 gain
C. $500 gain
D. $800 gain

The best answer is C.

The customer buys the put for $3 and buys the stock at $80 for a total outlay of $83 per share. The put has been purchased as protection if the stock price should fall. In this case, the stock price rises to $88, so the customer lets the put expire "out the money" and sells the stock in the market at the current price. The net gain is $88 - $83 = $5 or $500 on 100 shares.

A customer purchases 100 shares of ABC stock at $34 and buys 1 ABC Jan 30 Put @ $2 on the same day in a cash account. Subsequently, the stock goes to $44 and the customer's put expires and the customer sells the stock in the market at the prevailing market price. The customer has a(n):

A. $200 loss
B. $800 loss
C. $800 gain
D. $1,000 gain

The best answer is C.

The customer buys the put for 2 and buys the stock at $34 per share. The customer purchases the Jan 30 Put as protection if the stock price falls below $30. If the stock does fall below $30 per share, then the customer would exercise the put, selling the stock at $30. This limits downside loss. In this case, the stock price rises to $44 and the put expires "out the money". The stock is sold at the prevailing market price. The stock that was purchased for $34, is sold for $44, for a profit of $10 per share. Since a premium of $2 was paid for the put, the net profit is $8 per share = $800 on the 100 shares owned.

A customer buys 100 shares of ABC stock at $56 and buys 1 ABC Jul 55 Put @ $2.50 on the same day. If the stock falls to $50 and the put is exercised by the customer, the customer will have a:

A. $250 loss
B. $350 loss
C. $550 loss
D. $750 loss

The best answer is B.

If the stock price drops below $55, the customer will exercise the put and sell the stock (purchased at $56) at the $55 strike price. The customer will lose 1 point ($100) on the stock in addition to the $2.50 per share ($250) paid in premiums, for a total loss of $350.

A. $400
B. $800
C. $1,200
D. $1,800

The best answer is A.

The customer buys the stock at $71 and sells it for $75 by exercising the put for a $4 gain. She paid $8 per share in premiums for the put contract, so the net loss is $4 points.

A. $43
B. $53
C. $55
D. $60

The best answer is B.

The customer paid $48 for the stock and $5 for the put, for a total outlay of $53. To breakeven, the stock must be sold for $53. To summarize, the formula for breakeven for a long stock / long put position is:

Long Stock/Long Put Breakeven = Stock Cost + Premium

A. $400
B. $4,600
C. $5,500

A. $500
B. $600
C. $4,600
D. unlimited

The best answer is B.

A customer buys 100 shares of XYZ at $49 and buys 1 XYZ Jan 50 Put @ $5. The maximum potential loss is:

A. $400
B. $500
C. $4,400
D. unlimited

The best answer is A.

A customer buys 100 shares of ABC stock at $58 and buys 1 ABC Jul 55 Put @ $2.50 on the same day. The maximum potential loss is:

A. $250
B. $550
C. $5,550
D. unlimited

The best answer is B.

If the market should fall, the customer will exercise the put and sell the stock at the strike price, limiting potential loss. The put contract gives the customer the right to sell the stock at $55. Since the stock was purchased at $58, 3 points will be lost on the stock. In addition, 2.50 points were paid in premiums for a maximum potential loss of 5.50 points or $550.

A customer buys 100 shares of ABC at $65 and buys 1 ABC Jan 65 Put @ $3. At which market price is the position profitable?

A. $70
B. $68
C. $65
D. $62

The best answer is A.

To breakeven, the customer must recover the $3 paid in premiums and the $65 paid for the stock (total of $68). He must sell the stock in the market above $68 to have a profit. The only choice above $68 is Choice A, which is $70. To summarize, the formula for breakeven for a long stock / long put position is:

Long Stock/Long Put Breakeven = Stock Cost + Premium

A customer buys 100 shares of ABC at $50 and buys 1 ABC Jan 50 Put @ $5. This position results in a profit when the price of ABC stock:

A. goes below $55
B. goes above $55
C. remains at $50
D. rises to $55

The best answer is B.

The customer has paid $50 for the stock and $5 for the put, for a total of $55 paid. If the market rises to $55, the customer breaks even. If the market rises above $55, the customer can sell the stock in the market for more than $55 and will have a profit. If ABC goes below 55, the customer will lose money because of the premium paid for the put, with the maximum loss being 5 points or $500 (since the stock purchased at a total cost of $55 can always be sold by exercising the $50 put).

The only choice above $35 is Choice D, which is $40. To summarize, the formula for breakeven for a long stock / long put position is:

Long Stock/Long Put Breakeven = Stock Cost + Premium

B. protect the short stock position from a falling market
C. protect the short stock position from a rising market
D. generate additional income in a stable market

A customer who has shorted stock is bearish on the market.

To limit this risk, the purchase of a call allows the stock position to be bought at a fixed price (by exercising the call), if needed, in a rising market.

On the same day in a margin account, a customer sells short 100 shares of ABC at $44 and buys 1 ABC Jan 45 Call @ $2.50. If the market price of ABC rises to $50 and the customer exercises the call, the result is a:

A. $100 loss
B. $250 loss
C. $350 loss
D. $500 loss

The best answer is C.

If the market price rises to $50, the customer exercises the call and buys in the stock at the $45 strike price. Thus, the customer sells the stock at $44, and buys it back at $45, for a 1 point loss on the stock. In addition, the customer loses the 2.50 point premium paid for the call. The total loss is 3.50 points or $350.

B. $1,200 gain
C. $1,300 gain
D. $1,600 gain

The best answer is C.

To protect his stock position from going up, the customer buys a call as well (which allows him to buy the stock at the strike price, if needed, in a rising market). Here, the market does what the customer wants it to do and goes down. As the market goes down, the call contract will expire "out the money." The stock that was sold for $46 can be purchased in the market for $30 and replaced, for a 16 point gain. However, since $3 was paid in premiums for the call, the net gain is $13 per share or $1,300.

A. $41.50 per share

C. $46.50 per share
D. $47.50 per share

The best answer is A.

As a hedge, the customer bought the call option to buy in the stock at a price of $45 if the market should rise. This protects the short stock position from unlimited upside loss potential. Since the customer sold the stock at $44 and paid $2.50 for the call option, the customer has a net sale amount of $41.50. To break even, the customer must buy back the stock at $41.50 per share.

If it falls to "0," the customer can buy the shares for "nothing" to replace the borrowed shares sold and make 41 points. The customer lets the call expire "out the money" losing 5 points, so the maximum potential gain is 36 points = $3,600.

A. $112 loss
B. $565 gain
C. $587 gain
D. unlimited loss

The best answer is B.

Without the call, as the market rises, the customer would have the potential for infinite loss. As the market drops, the customer's call loses value, but the short stock position increases in value. The call contract that was originally bought for $2.50; is closed (sold) for $1.40; for a loss of -$1.10. The stock that was originally sold for $48; is purchased for $41.25; for a gain of +$6.75. The net profit is: +$6.75 - $1.10 = +$5.65 = $565 for 100 shares.
