A power option pays off [max(S₁ – X),0]² at time T where ST is the stock price at time T and X is the strike price. Consider the situation where X = 26 and T is one year. The stock price is currently $24 and at the end of one year it will either $30 or $18. The risk-free interest rate is 5% per annum, compounded continuously. What is the risk- neutral probability of the stock rising to $30?

Suppose that the current price of Roblox Corporation common stock is (RBLX) is $100. If the price of RBLX will be either $150 or $50 one year from now, what is the price of a call option with a strike price of $120 expiring one year from now? Assume that the current risk free rate is 1%. What is the risk neutral probability of the stock being $150 one year from now?
Suppose an investor shorts a straddle (a call option + a put option with the same strike price) with the following parameter values: S = 200, K = 250, σ = 0.30, RF = 0.05, q = 0, T = 5 years, and the interest rate, volatility, and the dividend yield are all given as annual values. Assuming that average daily returns are approximately zero, what is the 5% daily Delta-Gamma VaR of the short straddle position in dollars? Use 3 decimal places for your answer. (If you need to round the Gamma in an intermediate step, please use at least *6 digits*.)
A power call option pays off (max(ST-X, 0))2 at time T, where ST is the stock price at time T and X is the exercise price. A stock price is currently $54. It is known that at the end of one year it will be either $60 or $50. The risk-free rate of interest with continuous compounding is 8% per annum. Calculate the value of a one year power call option with an exercise price of $55. a. What is the delta of the power call option? (sample answer: 1.55 or 0.55)b. What is the risk neutral probability of up movement? (sample answer: 55.50%)c. What is the value of the power option? (sample answer: $15.50)

The prices of a certain security follow a geometric Brownian motion with parameters mu=.12 and sigma=.24. If the security's price is presently 40, what is the probability that a call option, having four months until its expiration time and with a strike price of K=42, will be exercised? (A security whose price at the time of expiration of a call option is above the strike price is said to finish in the money.) If the interest rate is 8%, what is the risk-neutral valuation of the call option?
). Suppose the call option of Tesla company has an exercise price of $200 and expires in 90 days. Assume the current price of Tesla stock is $240, with a standard deviation of 40% per year. The risk-free interest rate is 6.18% per year. First, using the Black-Scholes formula, compute the price of the call. And then use put-call parity to compute the price of the put with the same strike and expiration date. Based on put-call parity, what should be the put option price? a. $ 2.65 b. $ 1.78 c. $ 3.69 d. $ 4.22 e. None of the above

Suppose that a stock price is currently 51 dollars, and it is known that one month from now, the price will be either 6 percent higher or 6 percent lower. Find the value of an American call option on the stock that expires one month from now, and has a strike price of 49 dollars. Assume that no arbitrage opportunities exist, and a risk free interest rate of 10 percent
The market price of a one-year European call option is $9.243, written on a stock that is currently selling for $70. The stock is expected to go ex‑dividend in 6 months on a declared dividend of $5. The exercise price of the call is $80 and the current riskless rate of return is 3% per annum. What is the volatility (standard deviation) implied by the market price of this call option and an appropriate option pricing model allowing for dividends? Your answer should be within 2% of the correct solution (i.e., the correct σ ± .02).
