Consider a put option on a stock that currently sells for £100, but may rise to £120 or fall to £80 after 1 year. The risk free rate of return is 10%, and the exercise price is £90. (a) Calculate the value of the put option using the risk-neutral valuation relationship (RNVR). Explain the reasoning behind your calculations. (b) Calculate the value of the put option by using first principles (No Arbitrage prin- ciples). Explain the reasoning behind your calculations. (c) What is the price of a call option on the same stock with the same exercise price and the same expiration date? Explain the reasoning behind your calculations.

In 1973, Fischer Black and Myron Scholes developed the Black-Scholes option pricing model (OPM). (1) What assumptions underlie the OPM? (2) Write out the three equations that constitute the model. (3) According to the OPM, what is the value of a call option with the following characteristics? Stock price = 27.00 Strike price = 25.00 Time to expiration = 6 months = 0.5 years Risk-free rate = 6.0% Stock return standard deviation = 0.49
What makes for a good investment? Use the approximate yield formula or a financial calculator to rank the following investments according to their expected returns. Buy a stock for $30 a share, hold it for three years, and then sell it for $60 a share (the stock pays annual dividends of $2 a share). Buy a security for $40, hold it for two years, and then sell it for $100 (current income on this security is zero). Buy a one-year, 5 percent note for $1,000 (assume that the note has a $1,000 par value and that it will be held to maturity).
Put–Call Parity The current price of a stock is $33, and the annual risk-free rate is 6%. A call option with a strike price of $32 and with 1 year until expiration has a current value of $6.56. What is the value of a put option written on the stock with the same exercise price and expiration date as the call option?
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion You are considering purchasing a put on a stock with a current price of $33. The exercise price is $35, and the price of the corresponding call option is $3.25. According to the put-call parity theorem, if the risk-free rate of interest is 4% and there are 90 days until expiration, the value of the put should be:
Consider a European put and a European call option which are both written on a non-dividend paying stock, have the same strike price K = £80 and expire in T = 2 months. These options are trading for p = £21 and c = £30.80, respectively. The underlying stock price is S0 = £90. The continuously compounded risk-free rate of interest is r = 10% per annum. What is the present value of the arbitrage profit? Please explain your answer and show your workings. In your response, please show all cash flows (both today and at expiration) and explain why this is an arbitrage (i.e. risk-less) profit.
). 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

Let us consider a stock (called "stock A") whose price today is €12. Supposethat in six months' time the price can only go up to €16 or down to €10.Suppose the interest rate is 10% per annum continuously compounded.Let us consider a call option (called "call option B") written on this stock,with maturity date of 6 months and strike price €13.(a) Determine the fair price c for this call option (show all the steps of yourwork).Assume that the seller of call options B starts with zero capital, sells 100call options (each at the fair price c obtained in the previous question), andborrows money to buy A shares of the stock A.(b) How many shares should he buy in order to run no risk at the end of thesix months period?
In an efficient market, a one-year call option on stock S with K = $25 is traded at$7.06, the current stock price S0 = $28.5, the expected market return is 7.5% and the T-Bill yield is 4%. You are about to purchase a one-year put option on the same stock with K = $26, someone offered it to you at a price of $3.6. Should you buy it?
Consider a 3-month European call option on a non-dividend-paying stock. The current stock price is $20, the risk-free rate is 6% per annum, and the strike price is $20. Assume a risk-neutral world. You calculate the following values using the Black-Scholes-Merton model: d1 = 0.2000 N(d1) = 0.5793 d2 = 0.1000 N(d2) = 0.5398 a) What is the probability that the call option will be exercised? b) What is the expected stock price at the option’s expiration in 3 months? Assume that all values of the stock price less than $20 are counted as zero. c) What is the expected payoff on the option at expiration (in 3 months)? d) Calculate the PV of the expected payoff from part c).
Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A call option has a strike price of $11, and a time to expiration of 0.8 in years. If the stock is trading for $20, N(d1) = 0.5, N(d2) = 0.12, and the risk free rate is 5.40%, what is the value of the call option?
Find the price of a 1-year European call option with a strike price of $110 if the stock price is $100, the volatility of the stock is 25%, the risk-free rate is 2%, and the stock doesn't pay any dividends.
