Use a four-period binomial model to value an American put option with a $35 strike price and three months remaining to maturity. The underlying stock does not pay any dividend and is currently selling for $30 per share. The risk - free rate is 5% per annum, compounded continuously. The stock return volatility is 40%. What if the option is European? Use the same binomial tree to value the European put. Show all calculations at every node of the binomial tree.

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.
The spot price of a non-dividend paying stock is recorded as ₺100 at the close of the day. You estimate that this price is equally likely to go up by 11.1% or go down by 10% every two months and observe that the continuously compounded annual risk-free rate is 20% per year across all maturities. Use a multistep binomial tree together with the risk-neutral valuation approach to compute the theoretical price of a European put option written on this stock with a strike price of ₺80 and exactly six months until expiration
You observe that a non-dividend paying stock currently trades for ₺150 on Borsa Istanbul. The annual standard deviation of its returns is expected to be 41% per year over the next year and the continuously compounded risk-free rate of interest is flat at 18% per year over all investment horizons. Compute the theoretical price of a European call option with a strike price of ₺200 and five months remaining until expiration written on a single share of this stock using to the Black-Scholes option pricing model
The market price of a one-year European call option is $9.243, written on a stock that is currently selling for $70. The stock is expected to go ex‑dividend in 6 months on a declared dividend of $5. The exercise price of the call is $80 and the current riskless rate of return is 3% per annum. What is the volatility (standard deviation) implied by the market price of this call option and an appropriate option pricing model allowing for dividends? Your answer should be within 2% of the correct solution (i.e., the correct σ ± .02).
Suppose that a stock price is currently 61 dollars, and it is known that at the end of each of the next two six-month periods, the price will be either 18 percent higher or 18 percent lower than at the beginning of the period. Find the value of a European put option on the stock that expires a year from now, and has a strike price of 64 dollars. Assume that no arbitrage opportunities exist, and a risk-free interest rate of 10 percent.
We are using a two-step binomial tree to price a 6-month European put option with a strike price of $60. The current stock price is $50, the risk-free rate is 3% for all maturities. At each step, the price can increase or decrease by 20%. The continuously compounded dividend yield is 3%. What is the option price today? Group of answer choices $13.9 $9.7 $10.1 $12.8
Consider a two-period binomial model in which a non-dividend-paying stock currently trades at £35. Over each of the next two six-month periods, the share price is expected to go up by 12% or down by 9%. The risk-free interest rate is 6% per annum with continuous compounding Calculate the value of a one-year American put option with a strike price of £36, using a two-period binomial tree method.
Use the Black-Scholes model to find the value for a European put option that has an exercise price of $62.00 and four months to expiration. The underlying stock is selling for $63.00 currently and pays an annual dividend of $1.92. The standard deviation of the stock’s returns is 0.21 and risk-free interest rate is 5.0%. (Round intermediary calculations to 4 decimal places. Round your final answer to 2 decimal
The current price of a non-dividend paying stock is $50. Use a two-step tree to value a European put option on the stock with a strike price of $50 that expires in 12 months. Each step is 6 months, the risk free rate is 5% per annum, and the volatility is 50%. What is the value of the option according to the two-step binomial model. Please enter your answer rounded to two decimal places (and no dollar sign).
You Consider a stock with a price of $50 that is expected to increase by 6% or decrease by 8% each month over the next two months. Having a risk-free rate at 3% per year with continuous compounding, calculate the value of a two-month European put option with a strike price of $55. Repeat your calculations for a two-month American put option with a strike price of $55. Show clearly all your calculations and results with the use of the relevant equations and graphs. Discuss your investment decision in each case separately.
Consider a two - period binomial model, where each period is 6 months. Assume the stock price is $75.00, \sigma 0.35, and r = 0.05. An American call option with a strike price of $80 would be exercised early at what dividend yield? () (A) 5.0% (B) 7.0 % (C) 9.0% (D) Never exercise early
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?
