- Tick all those statements on options that are correct (and don't tick those statements that are incorrect). O a. The Black-Scholes formula is based on the assumption that the share price follows a geometric Brownian motion. Ob. The put-call parity formula necessarily requires the assumption that the share price follows a geometric Brownain motion. 0 C. If interest is compounded continuously then the put-call parity formula is P+ S(0) = C + Ke where I is the expiry time. Od. In general the equation S(T) + (K − S(T))+ (S(T) — K)† + K is valid. An American put option should never be exercised before the expiry time. e. =arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements true?

An option is trading at $5.26, has a delta of .52, and a gamma of .11. what would the delta of the option be if the underlying increases by $.75?

- Which of the following describes delta? O The ratio of the option price to the stock price None of these O The ratio of a change in the option price to the corresponding change in the stock price The ratio of a change in the stock price to the corresponding change in the option price O The ratio of the stock price to the option price ◄ Previous Next ▸arrow_forwardDescribe the effect of a change in each of the following factors on the value of a calloption:1.

- What is the correct way to determine the value of a long forward position at expiration? The value is the price of the underlying ... ... multiplied by the forward price. ... divided by the forward price. ... plus the forward price. ... minus the forward price please need type answer not an imagearrow_forwardLet X = strike price and S = share price. A put option is deep out-of-the-money if _____________ (choose the best answer from the list below to complete the sentence). X/S is between 1.01 and 1.05 X/S is between 1.06 and 1.15 X/S is between 0.95 and 0.99 X/S is between 0.85 and 0.94 X/S is equal to 1.00arrow_forwardTick all those statements on options that are correct (and don't tick those statements that are incorrect).

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.
