Exercise:
  Which of the following statements about options on futures is true?
  A.       An American call is equal in value to a European call.
  B.       An American put is equal in value to a European put.
  C.       Put-call parity holds for both American and European options.
  D.       None of the above.
  Answer: D
  An American option can be exercised early. Therefore its value is not necessarily equal to the value of a comparable European option. Note that an American call option on a non-dividend-paying stock should never be exercised early, thus its value is equal to a comparable European call option. The early-exercise feature of American options makes the put-call parity not hold for it.
