An оptiоn trаder creаtes а delta-hedged cоvered call (or "buy-write") in order to short 300 call options on a stock with a spot price of $100. The stock's log-return has a volatility of 60 percent per year. The trader chooses to short the OOM calls with a strike price of $130 and five days until expiration (assuming 252 trading days in a year). The appropriate risk-free rate is 4 percent per year.
