Chapter 21, Problem 19PS
American options The price of Moria Mining stock is $100. During each of the next two six-month periods the price may either rise by 25% or fall by 20% (equivalent to a standard deviation of 31.5% a year). At month 6, the company will pay a dividend of $20. The interest rate is 10% per six-month period. What is the value of a one-year American call option with an exercise price of $80? Now recalculate the option value, assuming that the dividend is equal to 20% of the with-dividend stock price.

A company stock whose current price is $192 is expected to either increase to $242 or decrease to $185 over the next nine months with equal probability. Compute the price of a nine-month at-the-money European put option. Use the fact that the riskless rate is 3.3% per year with continuous compounding. Express your answer with two decimals.
A stock price is currently $100. Over each of the next two three-month periods it is expected to increase by 10% or fall by 10%. Consider a six-month European put option with a strike price of $95. The risk-free interest rate is 8% per annum, compounded continuously. What is the value of the option if it is American?
The current price of XL Corporation stock is $40. In each of the next two years, this stock price can either go up by $15.00 or go down by $15.00. XL stock pays no dividends. The one-year risk-free interest rate is 15% and will remain constant.
Using the binomial pricing model, calculate the price of a two-year American straddle option on XL stock with a strike price of $40.
