2. Derive the single - period binomial model for a put option. Include a single - period example where: u = 1.10, d
= 0.95, Rf = 0.05, SO = $100, X = $100. 3. Assume ABC stock's price follows a binomial process, is trading at SO =
$100, has u 1.10, d = 0.95, and probability of its price increasing in one period is 0.5 (q = 0.5). a. Show with a
binomial tree ABC's possible stock prices, logarithmic returns, and probabilities after one period and two periods. . b.
What are the stock's expected logarithmic return and variance for 2 periods and 3 periods? c. Define the properties of a
binomial distribution.
Three put options on a stock have the same expiration date and strike prices of $55, $60, and $65. The market prices are $3, $5, and $8, respectively. Explain how a butterfly spread can be created. Draw a profit diagram of your strategy to communicate the range of stock prices that the butterfly spread would lead to a loss. (When you draw a profit diagram, please, do consider option premia.
Suppose you construct a strategy based on options on a stock that is currently selling for $100. The strategy is as follows:
Buy one call option having an exercise price of $95.
Sell two calls having an exercise price of $100.
Buy one call option having an exercise price of $105.
All of the options are written on the same stock and all have the same expiration date.
Compute the payoff (the dollars you receive) from this strategy at the expiration date for each of the following alternative stocks prices: $90, $95, $98, $100, $102, $105, and $110.
What additional information would be required to determine whether your strategy had been profitable?
What is the name of this strategy?
