Assume a stock is selling for GH¢48.50 with options available at 40, 50, and 60 strike prices.The 50 call option price is at 2.75.a. What is the intrinsic value of the 50 call?b. Is the 50 call in the money?c. Are the 40 and 60 call options in the money?
Consider a portfolio consisting of 6 stocks and 10 put options on the stocks. The current stock price is S0 = 100 and the stike price of the options is X = 100. The stock pricecan take on only two values at maturity T given by Su = 120 and Sd = 90. The risk-free rate is given by 5%. (1) How many put options with strike price X = 110 are necessary in the portfolio to have a certain payoff at maturity?(2) Find the value of a put option P0 with strike price X = 100.(3) Find the value of a call option C0 with X = 100 by using the Put-Call-Parity. Verify that your answer by calculating the price C0 directly.
We will derive a two-state put option value in this problem. Data: S0 = 100; X = 110; 1 + r = 1.10. The two possibilities for ST are 130 and 80.a. Show that the range of S is 50, whereas that of P is 30 across the two states. What is the hedge ratio of the put?b. Form a portfolio of three shares of stock and five puts. What is the (nonrandom) payoff to this portfolio?c. What is the present value of the portfolio?d. Given that the stock currently is selling at 100, solve for the value of the put.
A call option on a stock index is valued using a three- step binomial tree with an up move that equals 1.05 and a down move that equals 0.95. The probability of the up move and of the down move is both 50%. The current level of the index is $190, and the option exercise price is $200. If the option value is positive when the stock price exceeds the exercise price at expiration and $0 otherwise, the number of terminal nodes with a positive payoff is: Group of answer choices two one three
