Brief Description: Computes an Asset or Nothing Option where as long as the asset is above water, the holder will receive the asset at maturity
Requirements: Modeling Toolkit, Real Options SLS
Modeling Toolkit Functions Used: MTAssetOrNothingCall, MTAssetOrNothingPut
An Asset or Nothing Option is exactly what it implies: At expiration, if the option is in the money, regardless of how deep it is in the money, the option holder receives the stock or asset. This means that for a call option, as long as the stock or asset price exceeds the strike at expiration, the stock is received. Conversely, for a put option, the stock is received only if the stock or asset value falls below the strike price. Figure 37.1 shows an example of computing the asset or nothing option.
