A European put option with strike price $26.00, the underlying asset S (0) is $26 and the return over each period R=1.06. CRR notation d=0.8 and u=1.25 Construct a three-step binomial pricing tree for the European put option and calculate the premium.
Your options trading strategy involves buying a European put with a strike price of ₺10 for ₺0.50 and aEuropean call with a strike price of ₺25 for ₺0.75 and selling a European put with a strike price of ₺15 for₺1.25 and a European call with a strike price of ₺20 for ₺1.50. The expiry date and the underlying asset isidentical for each of the four options. Draw the profit diagram for this strategy and indicate the maximumprofit/loss levels and break-even price levels. Show the details of your intermediate calculations.
Topic: Option Pricing When computing, please do not round off. Only final answers must be rounded off to two decimal places Based on the Black-Scholes model, the price of a put option should be P2,800. If the underlying asset has a strike price of P60,000 and a market price of P58,500, how much is the extrinsic value of the option?
Consider an American put option with time to expiry 15 months, and a strike of 74. The current price of the underlying is 71. Divide the time to expiry into three 5-months intervals. Assume that in each 5-months interval, the price can either rise by 5, or fall by 5, with unknown probability. The risk-free (continuously compounding) rate is 0.042. Using a binomial tree, identify the circumstances under which early exercise would be rational for the holder of this option. Draw the binomial tree and show the necessary calculation and briefly explain the answer.
Given the following data, show the profit from a strategy involving a straddle for the put, call and combined position. The price of a European call and put option are $5 and $6 respectively. Both of the options have a strike price of $30. Explain why a trader might be willing to enter into a straddle. Please show all work. Please use four decimal places for all calculations.
In a binomial model, a call option and a put option are both written on the same stock. The exercise price of the call option is 30 and the exercise price of the put option is 40. The call option’s payoffs are 0 and 5 and the put option’s payoffs are 20 and 5. The price of the call is 2.25 and the price of the put is 12.25. a. What is the riskless interest rate? Assume that the basic period is one year. b. What is the price of the stock today?
An investor buys a 6-month European call option with an exercise price of $35 for $6, and sells a 6-month European call option with an exercise price of $40 for $4. a) What kind of a spread does this strategy create? Answer in terms of “Bull Spread” versus “Bear Spread”. b) Calculate both the total payoff and profit on this strategy at the expiration of the options. Please use a Table (as in the class notes) to identify the payoff and profit.
Consider a one-period binomial model in which the underlying is at 65 and can go up 30% and down 22%. The risk-free rate is 8%. The price of the call option with exercise prices of 70 would be: a. 84.50 b. 0.5769 c. 0 d. 7.75 Refer to Problem #1. Suppose that the call is selling for 9 in the market and assume that we would execute an arbitrage transaction, the rate of return on a 10,000 call option would be: a. 16.20% b. 18.19% c. 15.17% d. 16.78%
Consider a single-index model economy. The index portfolio M has E(RM ) = 6%, σM = 18%.An individual asset i has an estimate of βi = 1.1 and σ2ei = 0.0225 using the single index modelRi = αi + βiRM + ei. The forecast of asset i’s return is E(ri) = 12%. rf = 4%. a) According to asset i’s return forecast, calculate αi. (b) Calculate the optimal weight of combining asset i and the index portfolio M . (c) Calculate the Sharpe ratio of the index portfolio M and the portfolio optimally combiningasset i and the index portfolio M .
