The Monte Hall dilemma

Explanation / Answer

Answer 1 : answer "a" is right. That is $ (0.50).

We buy a put option of exercise price = $ 10

Premium on put option = $ 1

Profit & loss on stock price = $ 9.50

Breakeven point = 10-1 = $ 9.00

Loss on put option = $ (0.50).

Answer 2 : answer "c" is correct. That is example of the relationship between NPV nad IRR.
