Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- A European call option has a strike price of K and maturity of T. If the stock price at the maturity is ST, what is the payoff from a short position in this call option (without considering the option price)? Group of answer choices: Max(K - ST, 0) -Max(ST - K, 0) -Max(K - ST, 0) Max(ST - K, 0)Suppose that a European call option to buy a share for $100.00 costs $5.00 and is held untilmaturity. Under what circumstances will the holder of the option make a profit? Underwhat circumstances will the option be exercised? Draw a diagram illustrating how the profitfrom a long position in the option depends on the stock price at maturity of the option. Suppose that a European put option to sell a share for $60 costs $8 and is held untilmaturity. Under what circumstances will the seller of the option (the party with the shortposition) make a profit? Under what circumstances will the option be exercised? Draw adiagram illustrating how the profit from a short position in the option depends on thestock price at maturity of the option.Suppose there is also a 1-year European put option on the same stock as in Question 3 with exercise price $30. The current stock price is also $25 and the stock price, in 1 year, will be either $35 (up by 40%) or $20 (down by 20%). The interest rate is 8%. This stock does not pay dividend. What is the value of the put option? Please use risk neutral probability method and assume discrete discounting. (2) What is put-call parity in option pricing? What needs to be true in order for put-call parity to hold?
- 1. Consider a family of European call options on a non - dividend - paying stock, with maturity T, each option being identical except for its strike price. The current value of the call with strike price K is denoted by C(K) . There is a risk - free asset with interest rate r >= 0 (b) If you observe that the prices of the two options C( K 1) and C( K 2) satisfy K2 K 1<C(K1)-C(K2), construct a zero - cost strategy that corresponds to an arbitrage opportunity, and explain why this strategy leads to arbitrage.Let C be the price of a call option that enables its holder to buy one share of a stock at an exercise price K at time t; also, let P be the price of a European put option that enables its holder to sale one share or the stock for the amount K at time t. Let S be the price of the stock at time 0. Then, assuming that interest is continuously discounted at a nominal rate r, either S+P-C=Ke-rt or there is an arbitrage opportunity. Question: How do I verify that the strategy of selling one share of stock, selling one put option, and buying one call option always results in a positive win if S+P-C>Ke-rt ?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).
- 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.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?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. Using the Black-Scholes-Merton model, compute the price of a put option on the underlying asset.
- d. Briefly explain why you would pay more for a European call option ona (non-dividend paying) stock which has an annual return volatility of50% than for a European call on a (non-dividend paying) stock thathas annual volatility of 10% (assuming that all other variables thataffect option prices are the same for the two options.)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.)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. Calculate the underlying asset's price. Using the Black-Scholes-Merton model, determine the price of a call option on the underlying asset.
