Consider a one period binomial model for a stock with current price being $4 and with the up movement u = 2 and the down movement d = 1/2. Suppose you have a call option that expires at time 1, with a strike price of $5. The amount of shares that you should own to hedge the risk of the option is given by 0.3 0.5 0.7 0.22

Intermediate Problems 4-5 BLACK-SCHOLES MODEL Assume that you have been given the following information on Fire Industries: Current stock price = 16 Exercise price of option = 16 Time until expiration of option = 6 months Risk-free rate = 8% Variance of stock price = 0.12 d1 =0.28577 d2 = 0.04082 N(d1) = 0.61247 N(d2) = 051628 Using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model, what is the value of the option?
Aa.8 A put with 1-year to maturity is written on a stock. The current underlying stock price is $20. The option’s exercise price is $18, the interest rate is 3.74%, and the stock’s volatility is 32.7%. The price of a call written on the same stock with the same exercise price and time to maturity is $4.3. Use BSM pricing to determine if put-call parity holds.
Ch. 11. Using CAPM, A stock has an expected return on 10.7 percent, the risk-free rate is 4.1 percent, and the market risk premium is 6 percent. What must the beta of this stock be? Round to two places past the decimal point as "X.XX"
QUESTION: 2. What is the fair value for a six-month European call option with a strike price of $135 over a stock which is trading at $138.15 and has a volatility of 42.5% when the risk free rate is 1.85% using the two step binomial tree? a) What is the delta of this option? b) What is the probability of an up movement in this stock? c) What is the probability of a down movement in this stock? d) What is the proportional move up for this stock e) What is the proportional move down for this stock f) What would be the value of the put option with the same strike price?
fr1. Subject :- Accounting \ Graph the value of your portfolio as a function of the relevant stock price. Please create a graph for stock prices between 130 and 165. Assume today is the last day for exercising your options. Short a call at 163, long a put at 163, and long one share of the stock.
aa.3 Consider a two-period binomial model, where each period is 6 months. Assume the stock price is $50.00, = 0.20, r = 0.06 and the dividend yield = 3.5%. What is the lowest strike price where early exercise would occur with an American put option?
13. 1. A stock has an initial value of $5 and can go up by 1.4 or down by 0.5, the risk free rate is 0.13% per period. Calculate the price of a put and a call option with exercise price $5 and three periods to maturity. 2. Calculate the Black-Scholes value of the options from problem 1.
Question 6 In January 2024, Amazon shares are priced at $80 a share. You believe that theyare overvalued and are worth only $30 a share. June 2024 put options on a strike priceof $60 a share are currently valued at $5. Each put contract is based on 100 shares.(i) What is the intrinsic value of the put option per share? (ii) What is the time value of the put option per share? (iii) If we arrive at expiry in June and you are proved correct with Amazon shares sellingfor $30, what is your net dollar profit on a single put options contract in dollars bearing inmind the put option is based on a contract of 100 shares?(iv) What is your net dollar profit (+) or loss (-) as a holder of the put contract (based on a contract size of 100 shares) if we arrive at expiry in June and you are wrong and Amazon shares are selling for $100?
Question 2. At current time t a stock paying no income has price 45, the forward price with maturity T on the stock is 40, and the price of a zero coupon bond with maturity T is 0.95. Determine whether there is an arbitrage opportunity. If there is, find an arbitrage portfolio. Verify the portfolio you construct is an arbitrage portfolio.
Risk A1 Q2-1 Question 2. Binomial Model and Option Pricing The shares of XYZ Inc. are currently selling for $120 per share. The shares are expected to go up by 10 percent or down by 5 percent in each of the following two months (Month 1 and Month 2). XYZ Inc. is also expected to pay a dividend yield of 2 percent at the end of Month 1. The risk-free rate is 0.5 percent per month. What is the value of an American call option on XYZ shares, with an exercise price of $125 and two months to expiration? Use the binomial model to obtain the answer.
12.1 Factor Models A researcher has determined that a two-factor model is appropriate to determine the return on a stock. The factors are the percentage change in GNP and an interest rate. GNP is expected to grow by 3.5 percent and the interest rate is expected to be 2.9 percent. A stock has a beta of 1.3 on the percentage change in GNP and a beta of −.47 on the interest rate. If the expected rate of return on the stock is 10.2 percent, what is the revised expected return on the stock if GNP actually grows by 3.2 percent and the interest rate is 2.7 percent?
Consider two stocks: Stocks Current Price Possible Prices after one year Stock ABC $12.00 ABC + = $13.60 ABC – = $11.20 Stock XYZ $10.00 ABC + = $11.75 ABC – = $8.80 Assume a risk-free borrowing and lending rate is 5.20% and that neither stock pays dicidends, and a fractional shares can be bought and sold. Question: 1. Do you see that there opportunity to profit in this case? If so, how can that opportunity be realized? Explain your answer 2. Suppose that you are to buy at the current price, through borrowing,1000 shares of stock ABC, and sell it short. This allows you to buy stock XYZ. You also see an opportunity to engage in the bonds market risk-free2.a Do you think you can gain profit from this decision? 2.b If so, by how much? Show complete solution to justify your answerbased on higher and a lower price after one year, for both stocks.
