Delta Hegde

Schweser, book V, p.64 In the example they tell us that since option cost is 6,50$ not 5,14$, arbitrage opportunity exists. Well, if we actually use 5,14 as an option cost, arbit. opp. still exists… Delta Hedge = (10 - 0) / (40 - 22.50) = 0,5714 per option (lets use 100 options like SCHW) net portfolio cost = (57,14 x 30) - (100 x 5,14) = 1200,2 Now lets due scenarios: up move: (57,14 x 40) - (100 x 10) = 1286 down move: (57,14 x 22,50) - (100 x 0) = 1286 so… in both situations arbitrage riskless profit exists since = 1286 / 1200,2 = 7,15% return Can somebody please explain this to me? CPK? :slight_smile:

SFR, Look at the rfr…surely the 7.15 you earn is effectively RFR when you have option price at 5.14…so you don’t make any more through arb?

risk free rate is 7%, so this 0,15 = 7,15 - 7,00 (2$) is due to round rounding right?

. need to see the question and solution before I post. I do not believe a delta hedge is what they are talking about here.
