Understanding the Relationship Between Total Revenue and
... When price changes, you can analyze the change in total revenue in terms of a price effect and a quantity effect. Elasticity determines which effect is greater after a change in price. Begin this section by reviewing the formula for total revenue: TR = P x Q. The box on the left summarizes the relat ...

... The strategy of buying a call (or put) and selling a call (or put) at a higher strike is called call (put) bull spread. In order to draw the profit diagrams, we need to find the future value of the cost of entering in the bull spread positions. We have: Cost of call bull spread: ($120.405 − $93.809) ...

Optimal Delta Hedging for Options

They have found that this produces an improvement in delta hedging performance, particularly for out-of-the-money options. The researchers include Bakshi ...
