- You are considering a European put option and a European call option on ABC Ltd and have available the following information. The put option with an exercise price of $15 and time to maturity of 60 days is priced at $2.00. The call option with the same exercise price and time to maturity is priced at $3.00. The underlying asset price is $15. The risk-free rate is 2% per 60 days. Could an arbitrage profit be earned? If so, how much the arbitrage profit is? Show your works (Hint: use discrete put-call parity equation and consider two scenarios for stock price at maturity of the options: $10 or $20).Consider a one-period binomial model in which the underlying is at 65 Euros, and can go up 30% or down 22% each period. The risk-free rate is 8%. Determine the price of a European put option with exercise price of 70. Assume that the put is selling for 9 Euros. Demonstrate how to execute an arbitrage transaction and calculate the rate of return. Use 10000 puts.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. (Please provide Screenshots.)
- 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.Assume that the price of a forward contract is 127.87. The European options on the forward contract has an exercise price $150, expiring in 60 days. 3.75% is the continuously compounded risk-free rate, and volatility is 0.33.A. Using the Black model, calculate the price of a call option on a forward contract.B. Calculate the underlying asset's price. Using the Black-Scholes-Merton model, determine the price of a call option on the underlying asset. Should this pricing be any different from the one calculated in letter A? Explain your answer.C. Using the Black model, calculate the price of a put option on a forward contract.D. Using the Black-Scholes-Merton model, compute the price of a put option on the underlying asset. Should this pricing be any different from the one calculated in letter C? Explain your answer.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?

- Using put-call parity formula, derive expressions for the lower bounds for European call and put options. What is a lower bound for the price of (i) a three-month call option on a non-dividend-paying stock when the stock price is R860, the strike price is R760, and the risk-free interest rate is 10% per annum? (ii) a three-month European put option on a non-dividend-paying stock when the stock price is R500, the strike price is R610, and the discrete risk-free interest rate is 9% per annum?Use the Black-Scholes pricing formula to calculate the price today of a European call option with strike £518.23, maturing in 12 months, if the spot price of the underlying is £534.35, its volatility is 25.13% and the risk-free rate is 4%. Give your answer correct to 2 decimal placesuse binomial option pricing model for this question. suppose the current spot rate for USD/CHF is 0.7. you need to find the one-year call option price of USD/CHF with the exercise price of 0.68 USD/CHF. Assume that our future states will be either 0.7739 U&SD/CHF or 0.6332 USD/CHF. 1) What are the payoffs of a call option (for both states) 2) what is the hedge ratio of the call option?
