| A. loss of $11.50. |
B．
| B. loss of $1.50. |
C．
| C. gain of $16.50. |
答案
参考答案：A
解析：The put option is in-the-money at expiration ( Max (0, X - S) ) and is worth $5. Stamlano lost $15 on the stock ( $80- $65) and is also out the premium on the option, $1.50. Therefore, Stamlano lost a total of $11.50 ( - $15 - $1.50 + $5).
