You own a debt asset. Are you a or a ?

(a) ##f_{SP,T}=max⁡(S_T-X_T,0)##

(b) ##f_{SP,T}=max⁡(X_T-S_T,0)##

(c) ##f_{SP,T}=-max⁡(S_T-X_T,0)##

(d) ##f_{SP,T}=-max⁡(X_T-S_T,0)##

(e) ##f_{SP,T}=min⁡(X_T-S_T,0)##

(a) Green is a stock's continuously compounded rate of return, also called the log gross discrete return. ##r_\text{cc} = \ln(P_1/P_0)##

(b) Blue is a stock's future price, ##P_1##

(c) Blue is a stock's gross discrete return. ##\text{GDR} = P_1/P_0##

(d) Blue is a stock's effective rate of return. ##r_\text{eff} = (P_1-P_0)/P_0##

(e) Red is a stock's net discrete return. ##\text{NDR} = \text{GDR}-1##

(a) The geometric average of the gross discrete returns (GAGDR) equals 1 which is 100%.

(b) ##\text{GAGDR} = \exp \left( \text{AALGDR} \right)##. The GAGDR is equal to the natural exponent of the arithmetic average of the logarithms of the gross discrete returns (AALGDR).

(c) ##\text{GAGDR} = \left( P_T/P_0 \right)^{1/T}##. The GAGDR equals the ratio of the last and first prices raised to the power of the inverse of the number of time periods between them.

(d) ##\text{LGAGDR} = \text{AALGDR}##. This is always true, regardless of the distribution of the prices or returns and the number of return observations. The logarithm of the geometric average of the gross discrete returns (LGAGDR) is always equal to the arithmetic average of the logarithms of the gross discrete returns (AALGDR).

(e) ##\text{LAAGDR} = \text{AALGDR} + \text{SDLGDR}^2/2##. This is always true, regardless of the distribution of the prices or returns and the number of return observations. The logarithm of the arithmetic average of the gross discrete returns (LAAGDR) equals the arithmetic average of the logarithms of the gross discrete returns (AALGDR) plus half the variance of the LGDR's.

(a) ##r_\text{real} \approx r_\text{nominal} - r_\text{inflation}##

(b) ##(1+r_\text{real})^t = \left( \dfrac{1+r_\text{nominal}}{1+r_\text{inflation}} \right)^t ##

(c) ##V_\text{t,real} = V_\text{t,nominal}.(1+r_\text{inflation})^t##

(d) ##V_\text{0} = \dfrac{V_\text{t,nominal}}{(1+r_\text{nominal})^t}##

(e) ##V_\text{0} = \dfrac{V_\text{t,real}}{(1+r_\text{real})^t}##

(a) It's 'out of the money'.

(b) It will give a positive profit: ##-c_0 + max(S_T-K_T,0) > 0##.

(c) It will give a positive payoff at maturity: ##max(S_T-K_T,0) > 0##.

(d) The underlying asset price is below the option strike price: ##S_T < K_T##.

(e) The underlying asset price is above the break-even price.

If a put option is at-the-money, then the spot price (##S_0##) is than, than or to the put option's strike price (##K_T##)?
