Number of options were available to Parimal Pharma Ltd. to deploy these funds to generate profits for the company. A team was constituted to decide and finalize the following proposals: (I) ₹2,000 crore shall be invested in the equity of various companies as a strategic partner. (II) ₹1,500 crore shall be used to provide inter-corporate loans as to provide yield of 12%. (III) ₹1,500 crore shall be used to buy back its own equity shares having face value of ₹10 each at a price of ₹3,000 per share (present market price of ₹2,400 per share) being 10% of the paid up equity share capital of the company by way of tender route wherein promoters also intend to participate. Promoters hold 75% equity shares in the company. (IV) ₹500 crore were allocated to a team which will actively participate in capital and commodity market to generate a return of 15%: (v) Call option of Excellent Cement Ltd. at the strike price of ₹1,500 was purchased at ₹45 for 1,00,000 shares. Put option for equivalent number of shares at the same strike price was also purchased for ₹54. At the end of the month the price was settled at ₹1,740. Calculate profit/loss in the transaction.
Answer & Explanation:
Proposal IV(d)(v) - Excellent Cement Ltd. Options Purchased Call Option: Call Option of Excellent Cement Ltd. at the strike price of ₹1,500 was purchased @ ₹45 for 1,00,000 shares. Price settled at ₹1,740. Amount to be received per option = ₹1,740 - ₹1,500 = ₹240 Net Profit per Option = ₹240 (received) - ₹45 (premium paid) = ₹195 Total Profit per Option = ₹195 x 1,00,000 = ₹1,95,00,000 Purchased Put Option: Put Option purchased at the strike Price of ₹1,500 @ ₹54 for 1,00,000 shares. Since the Price settled at ₹1,740, no amount was received against the Put Option (as settlement price is above strike price, option expires worthless). Loss per Option = ₹54 (premium paid) Net Loss on 1,00,000 per option = ₹54 x 1,00,000 = ₹54,00,000 Total Profit/Loss Profit on Call Option = ₹1,95,00,000 Loss on Put Option = ₹54,00,000 Net Profit of Transaction = ₹1,41,00,000
