(A)
To calculate:
Future price of the future contract that has maturity of 1 year
Introduction:
Future contract refers to the financial contract which is standardized in nature and is made between two parties wherein one party provide consent to sell or purchase the commodity at a particular date in the future and at a particular price to the other party which provide consent to purchase or sell the same. In the futures contract the physical delivery of the commodity does not take place.
(B)
To calculate:
Future price of the future contract that has maturity of 3 year
Introduction:
Future contract refers to the financial contract which is standardized in nature and is made between two parties wherein one party provide consent to sell or purchase the commodity at a particular date in the future and at a particular price to the other party which provide consent to purchase or sell the same. In the futures contract the physical delivery of the commodity does not take place.
(C)
To calculate:
Future price of the future contract that has a maturity of 3 years with a rate of interest of 5%
Introduction:
Future contract refers to the financial contract which is standardized in nature and is made between two parties wherein one party provide consent to sell or purchase the commodity at a particular date in the future and at a particular price to the other party which provide consent to purchase or sell the same. In the futures contract the physical delivery of the commodity does not take place.

- Suppose the call option of Tesla company has an exercise price of $200 and expires in 90 days. Assume the current price of Tesla stock is $240, with a standard deviation of 40% per year. The risk-free interest rate is 6.18% per year. First, using the Black-Scholes formula, compute the price of the call. And then use put-call parity to compute the price of the put with the same strike and expiration date. Based on put-call parity, what should be the put option price? $ 2.65 $ 1.78 $ 3.69 $ 4.22 None of the abovearrow_forwardConsider an American put option with time to expiry 15 months, and a strike of 74. The current price of the underlying is 71. Divide the time to expiry into three 5-months intervals. Assume that in each 5-months interval, the price can either rise by 5, or fall by 5, with unknown probability. The risk-free (continuously compounding) rate is 0.042. Using a binomial tree, identify the circumstances under which early exercise would be rational for the holder of this option. Draw the binomial tree and show the necessary calculation and briefly explain the answer.arrow_forwardAssume the following inputs for a call option: (1) current stock price is $25, (2) strike price is $28, (3) time to expiration is 4 months, (4) annualized risk-free rate is 5%, and (5) variance of stock return is 0.33. Use the Black-Scholes model to find the price for the call option. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.arrow_forward
- Suppose you are attempting to value a 1-year expiration option on a stock with volatility (i.e., annualized standard deviation) of σ = .40. What would be the appropriate values for u and d if your binomial model is set up using:a. 1 period of 1 year.b. 4 subperiods, each 3 months.c. 12 subperiods, each 1 month.arrow_forwardPut together a Black–Scholes option calculator in Excel to answer the following.(a) What is the call-option value withS0 = $45, K = $48, r = 6%, T = 15 months,and volatility = 40%?(b) What is the put-option value withS0 = $60, K = $65, r = 6%, T = 18 months,and volatility = 20%?(c) What is the put-option value withS0 = $38, K = $40, r = 6%, T = 3 months,and volatility = 60%?(d) What is the call-option value withS0 = $100, K = $95, r = 8%, T = 3 years,and volatility = 40%?arrow_forwardConsider an American Put option with time to expiry of 5 months and a strike price of 82. The current price of the underlying stock is 80. Divide the time to expiry into five 1-month intervals. In each interval, the stock price can either rise by 6, or fall by 6, with unknown probability. The risk-free rate is 4.2% per annum, continuously compounded. Use Binomial Model. Is early exercise rational for the holder of this option? Explain. Provide all necessary calculations.arrow_forward
- Use the Black-Scholes model to find the price for a call option with the following inputs: (1) current stock price is $30, (2) strike price is $34, (3) time to expiration is 6 months, (4) annualized risk-free rate is 7%, and (5) variance of stock return is 0.09. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.arrow_forwardSuppose Carol's stock price is currently $20. If the standard deviation of the continuously compounded returns (σ) on a stock is 60 percent per year. The annual risk-free rate is 12%, compounded every 6 months. A. Using one-step binomial tree, what is the current value of a six-month call option with an exercise price of $25?B. Using two-step binomial tree, what is the current value of a one-year put option with an exercise price of $25?arrow_forwardConsider an American Put option with time to expiry of 5 months and a strike price of 82. The current price of the underlying stock is 80. Divide the time to expiry into five 1-month intervals. In each interval, the stock price can either rise by 6, or fall by 6, with unknown probability. The risk-free rate is 4.2% per annum, continuously compounded. Use Binomial Model. What is the value of the option. Please provide necessary calculations.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardWhat are the prices of a call option and a put option with the following characteristics? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Stock price=$79Exercise price=$75Risk-free rate=3.50% per year, compounded continuouslyMaturity=5 monthsStandard deviation=58% per yeararrow_forwardSuppose an investor shorts a straddle (a call option + a put option with the same strike price) with the following parameter values: S = 200, K = 250, σ = 0.30, RF = 0.05, q = 0, T = 5 years, and the interest rate, volatility, and the dividend yield are all given as annual values. Assuming that average daily returns are approximately zero, what is the 5% daily Delta-Gamma VaR of the short straddle position in dollars? Use 3 decimal places for your answer. (If you need to round the Gamma in an intermediate step, please use at least *6 digits*.)arrow_forward
