        Enter the cu
ent annualized dividends on the asset                    0.00    (in cu
ency)
        This will result in a dividend yield of                    0.00%
        Do you want to change this dividend yield for the life of the option?                    No    (Yes or No)
        If yes, enter the new dividend yield for the life of the option =                        (in %)
        Inputs relating to the option
        Enter the strike price on the option =                    210    (in cu
ency)

        Put Call Parity
        LHS    RHS
        238    238
        Here, it can be seen that the put-call parity of the stock holds wherein the sum of the stock price and the put option value is equal to the sum of strike price and the value of the call option. Thus, there is no a
itrage opportunity available. Further, this can be justified by the fact that the value of the call and the put option is very similar to the ones in the market. Thus, no a
itrage opportunity is there.
