hi sir
when we borrow money, then in collar, we pay a premium on ceiling (put option) and receive a premium on floor (call option). i wanna ask can i reverse this treatment if applying collar on deposits.?
thnxJune 2, 2014 at 12:07 pm #172599Yes – it would be exactly the same but the other way round 🙂
June 2, 2014 at 12:22 pm #172608Thanks alot sir
one more query regarding collars
when evaluating collars, if we get a gain on ceiling we add it but if we get a loss then we ignore it. This is done by examiner in ALECTO(pilot paper). Similarly in floor we include loss but ignore gain.
Are the above treatments correct? And also for collar for deposit, will the treatment be reversed?
ThanksJune 2, 2014 at 12:32 pm #172616Yes – all correct 🙂
(It is not so much that you ignore it, it is that the option will not be exercised. If it would result in a loss then you would not exercise the option.)
