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
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.
Consider an option on a non-dividend-paying stock when the stock price is $30, the exercise price is $29, the risk-free interest rate is 5% per annum, the volatility is 25% per annum, and the time to maturity is four months. a) What is the price of the option if it is a European put?
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. Required: (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 avoid arbitrage?

Consider a European Call Option with a strike of 82. The current price of the underlying asset is 80, and the time to expiry is 5 months. The current market price of the option is 6.22. The risk-free rate is 4.1%. (b) You believe the true volatility is 28.4%. Is the option under-priced or overpriced? Hence what position should you take in option to make money. Explain.

Suppose a European call option on a sack of corn with a strike price of $50 and a maturity of one-month, trades for $5. What is the price of the put premium with identical strike price and time until expiration, if the one-month risk-free rate is 2% and the spot price of the underlying asset is $53?
Assume that K=61, St =65, t = 0.25 (i.e. time to expiry is 3 months), and the risk-free rate is 0.04. The current price of the put option is p = 4. If the price of the call option is 7.17, describe the arbitrage that would be possible, and calculate the profit that would result.
Consider an American Put option with time to expiry of 5 months and a strike price of 82. The current price of the underlying stock is 80. Divide the time to expiry into five 1-month intervals. In each interval, the stock price can either rise by 6, or fall by 6, with unknown probability. The risk-free rate is 4.2% per annum, continuously compounded. What is the value of the option. Please provide necessary calculations.
1. Consider an option on a non-dividend paying stock when the stock price is $30, the exercise price is $28, the annual interest rate is 5%, the annual volatility is 25%, and the time to maturity is 6 months. Show the details of your calculations. a) What is the price of the option if it is a European call?
). 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
