a)

\n

You have already bought the put option which cost $\\var{premium}$ (the premium), which gives you the right, but not the obligation, to sell shares at the exercise price of $\\$\\var{exercise}$. The shares are currently selling at $\\$\\var{share}$ in the market.

\n

\n

The value of the put option will be what you can get using the option minus what the share is worth minus what you have already paid.

\n

In our situation, we have

\n

$\\begin{align}\\text{value}&=\\var{exercise}-\\var{share}-\\var{premium}\\\\&=\\var{tempvalue}\\end{align}$ 

\n

Since this is a negative number, exercising the option would not be an advantage, you would not use it, the option is worthless in this situation.

\n

Therefore, the put option is worth $\\$\\var{value}$

b)

\n

You have already bought the put option which cost $\\var{bpremium}$ (the premium), which gives you the right, but not the obligation, to sell shares at the exercise price of $\\$\\var{bexercise}$. The shares are currently selling at $\\$\\var{bshare}$ in the market.

\n

\n

The value of the put option will be what you can get using the option minus what the share is worth minus what you have already paid.

\n

In our situation, we have

\n

$\\begin{align}\\text{value}&=\\var{bexercise}-\\var{bshare}-\\var{bpremium}\\\\&=\\var{btempvalue}\\end{align}$ 

\n

Since this is a negative number, exercising the option would not be an advantage, you would not use it, the option is worthless in this situation.

\n

Therefore, the put option is worth $\\$\\var{bvalue}$
