    What would be the price of a put option on the same stock with an exercise price of $140 and the same time (3 months) until expiration? Show all workings. (See Appendix for the Cumulative Normal Distribution Table)

     

  2. b)  Let the spot rate be Yen 100 / $ and the 3-month forward rate be Yen 99/$. Compute the interest rate differential between the U.S. and Japan at which interest rate parity will hold true.
