An at-the-money call with a maturity of three months has the following price a
C = 50
∆ = 0.62
Γ = 0.025
(a) If the stock price moves to S = 510 what is the predicted new option price (using the delta alone)?
(b) If the stock price moves to S = 510, what is the predicted new call delta?
(c) Repeat these questions assuming the stock price moves to 450 instead.
(d) If the stock price registers a large jump increase to 550, what is the new call value predicted by the delta alone? By the delt
