You are faced with the probability distribution of the HPR on the stock market index fund given in Spreadsheet 5.1 of the text. Suppose the price of a put option on a share of the index fund with exercise price of $110 and time to expiration of 1 year is $12. a. What is the probability distribution of the HPR on the put option? (Negative amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
