Collar Strategy - Black Scholes
Description
Gives a table and graphical representation of the payoff and profit of a collar strategy for a range of future stock prices. Uses the Black Scholes equation for the call and put prices.
Usage
collar.bls(S,K1,K2,r,t,sd,plot=FALSE)Arguments
| S | spot price at time 0 | 
| K1 | strike price of the long put | 
| K2 | strike price of the short call | 
| r | yearly continuously compounded risk free rate | 
| t | time of expiration (in years) | 
| sd | standard deviation of the stock (volatility) | 
| plot | tells whether or not to plot the payoff and profit | 
Details
Stock price at time t =S_t
For S_t<=K1: payoff =K1-S_t
For K1<S_t<K2: payoff =0
For S_t>=K2: payoff =K2-S_t
profit = payoff+(price_{K2}-price_{K1})*e^{r*t}
Value
A list of two components.
| Payoff | A data frame of different payoffs and profits for given stock prices. | 
| Premiums | A matrix of the premiums for the call and put options and the net cost. |
