Consider a 2-year European put with a strike price of $52 on a stock whose current stock price is $50. Suppose that there are two time steps, and in each time step the stock price either moves up by 30% or moves down by 30%. Also suppose that risk-free rate is 7% per annum with continuous compounding. What is the value of the European put option?

Binomial Model The current price of a stock is 20. In 1 year, the price will be either 26 or 16. The annual risk-free rate is 5%. Find the price of a call option on the stock that has a strike price of 21 and that expires in 1 year. (Hint: Use daily compounding.)
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?
Suppose a 10-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 is currently selling for 1,135.90, producing a nominal yield to maturity of 8%. However, the bond can be called after 5 years for a price of 1,050. (1) What is the bonds nominal yield to call (YTC)? (2) If you bought this bond, do you think you would be more likely to earn the YTM or the YTC? Why?
The stock price is currently $100. Over each of the next two six-month periods, it is expected to go up by 20% or down by 20%. The risk-free interest rate is 5% per annum with continuous compounding. What is the value of a one-year European call option with a strike price of $100? What is the value of a one-year European put option with a strike price of $100? Verify that the European call and European put prices satisfy put-call parity.
A stock price is currently $100. Over each of the next two six-month periods it is expected to go up by 10% or down by 10%. The risk-free interest rate is 8% per annum with continuous compounding. What is the value of a one-year European call option with a strike price of $100? What is the value of a one-year European put option with a strike price of $100? Verify that the European call and European put prices satisfy put–call parity.
A stock price is currently $50. Over each of the next two three-month periods it is expected to go up by 10% with a probability of 50% or down by 5% with a probability of 50%. The risk-free interest rate is 4% per annum with continuous compounding. What is the value of a six-month European call option with a strike price of $50? Use binomial tree method to solve this problem
Suppose we have both a European call option and put option with an exercise price of $53 and the underlying stock is currently priced at $50. We are to note also that both options will expiry in six months. Further, market surveys suggest that the price of the stock can either go up by 20% or decrease by 25%. The current risk-free rate of interest is 2% per annum. (a) What is the expected price of the underlying asset at expiry date? (b) What is the value of the call option, using the binomial model? (c) If the put option is selling for $4.80, what should be the price of the call option to avoidarbitrage?
Please answer below three requirements: Question- The current price of a non-dividend paying stock is $30. Use a two-step tree to value a put option on the stock with a strike price of $32 that expires in 6 months. Each step is 3 months, and in each step the stock price either moves up by 10% or moves down by 10%. Suppose that the risk free rate is 8% per annum with continuous compounding. 1) What should be the EUROPEAN put option price today? 2) If the option was an AMERICAN put option, what should be the price today? 3) If the volatility was given as 30%, how would the AMERICAN put option price change?
A stock price is currently $50. Over each of the next two three-month periods it is expected to go up by 6% or down by 5%. The risk-free rate is 5% per annum with continuous compounding. What is the value of a six-month European call option with a strike price of $51? (Round your answer to the 4 decimal places) Consider the setting of the previous problem but now find the value of a six-month European put option with a strike price of $51. (Round your answer to the 4 decimal places)
Suppose that a stock price is currently 35 dollars, and it is known that four months from now, the price will be either 51 dollars or 29 dollars. Find the value of a European call option on the stock that expires four months from now, and has a strike price of 39 dollars. Assume that no arbitrage opportunities exist and a risk-free interest rate of 10 percent.Answer =dollars.
A stock price is currently $100. Over each of the next two three-month periods it is expected to increase by 10% or fall by 10%. Consider a six-month European put option with a strike price of $95. The risk-free interest rate is 8% per annum, compounded continuously. What is the value of the option if it is American?
A stock price is currently $200. Over each of the next two six-month periods it is expected to go up by 20% or down by 20%. The risk-free interest rate is 5% per annum with continuous compounding.You are required to use two-step Binomial model to find the value of a one-year European put option with a strike price of $200.
