I was messing around with trying to come up with some problems while studying my flashcards. Here's one if anyone wants to try it.
Suppose S(t) represents the time t price of a dividend paying stock.
Let C be an at the money call option expiring at time T.
Let P be an at the money put option expiring at time T.
-Both are European options
suppose that z=r z is the cont div yield( dont have a delta button) and r is the contiously compounded risk free rate
Define Q(C) and Q(P) to be the call and put option elasticities at time 0 respectively.
In terms of N(d1), what does Q(C) - Q(P) equal?
