please check if my answer is correct or not
A stock index is currently 28,630, and it provides continuous dividends with 2% dividend yield. 1-year European call option on the index with the strike price of 28,600 sells for $20. The risk-free rate is 1% per annum. If there is no arbitrage, what should be the price of 1-year European put option with the same strike price?
Lower bound
=max(S0*e^-q*e^rT-K*e^-rT,0)
= 29.70149501
Upper bound
= S0*e^-q*e^rT
= 28345.12674
Since the put price is below the lower bound, arbitrage opportunity exists.
Arbitrage strategy:
| 0 | T | |
| Long call | -20 | max(ST-28600,0) |
| buy bond that pays K at T | -28315.4 | 28600 |
| sell stock | 28345.13 | -ST |
| net | 9.701495 | max(300,ST) |
