View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】B

【analysis】

B is correct. If the underlying asset’s value is less than the option’s exercise price, the call option is not worth exercising and is said to be out of the money.

A is incorrect. For an at-the-money call option, the value of the underlying asset is equal to the option’s exercise price, and the option buyer would be indifferent between exercising or not exercising the option.

C is incorrect. For an in-the-money call option, the value of the underlying asset is greater than the option’s exercise price, and the option is worth exercising.

【Answer to question 2】C

【analysis】

C is correct. In efficient financial markets, risk-free arbitrage opportunities may exist temporarily, but their continuous exploitation will eliminate these arbitrage opportunities in the long run.

A is incorrect. Financial markets being efficient does not mean that risk-free arbitrage opportunities cannot exist.

B is incorrect. In efficient financial markets, any risk-free arbitrage opportunities will exist only temporarily because their continuous exploitation will result in these arbitrage opportunities being eliminated in the long run.

成功=时间+方法，自制力是这个等式的保障。世上无天才，高手都是来自刻苦的练习。而人们经常只看到“牛人”闪耀的成绩，其成绩背后无比寂寞的勤奋。小编相信，每天都在勤奋练习，即使是一点点的进步，大家一定可以成为人人称赞的“牛人”。
