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?
). 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?

- Suppose a 10-year, 10% semiannual coupon bond with a par value of 1,000 is currently selling for 1,135.90, producing a nominal yield to maturity of 8%. However, the bond can be called after 5 years for a price of 1,050. (1) What is the bonds nominal yield to call (YTC)? (2) If you bought this bond, do you think you would be more likely to earn the YTM or the YTC? Why?arrow_forwardAssume a stock price is g120, and in the next year, it will either rise by 10 percent or fall by 20 percent. The risk-free interest rate is 6 percent. A call option on this stock has an exercise price of g130. What is the price of a call option that expires in one year? What is the chance that the stock price will rise?arrow_forwardSuppose the current stock price is $50 and you believe that, one year from now, the stock will sell for either $60 (up-state) or $30 (down-state). The yield on a 1-year risk free zero coupon bond is currently 4%. If you want to replicate a call option payoff with an exercise price of $40, how much should you borrow today?

- S&P 500 index is now at 3300 and has a volatility of 16% per annum. The exercise price of two-month call and put options is 3330.

Compute the value of call and put options using Black- Scholes Option Pricing Model.arrow_forwardGoldman Sachs believes that market volatility will be 20% annually for the next three years. Three-year at-the-money call and put options on the market index sell at an implied volatility of 22%. What options portfolio can Goldman establish to speculate on its volatility belief with-out taking a bullish or bearish position on the market? Using Goldman’s estimate of volatility, 3-year at-the-money options have N(d1) = .6.arrow_forwardSuppose you are attempting to value a 1-year expiration option on a stock with volatility (i.e., annualized standard deviation) of σ = .40.

The stock is expected to go ex‑dividend in 6 months on a declared dividend of $5. The exercise price of the call is $80 and the current riskless rate of return is 3% per annum. What is the volatility (standard deviation) implied by the market price of this call option and an appropriate option pricing model allowing for dividends? Your answer should be within 2% of the correct solution (i.e., the correct σ ± .02).arrow_forwardCalculate the price of a put option on stock using a three-time-step binomial tree model. We know that the current stock price is $70, the strike price is $73, the volatility of the stock is 25%, the maturity of the option is 3 years, and the annual effective risk-free rate is 10%, yearly compounding. How much does this put option worth today if it is American? According to the Put-Call Parity, what should be the price of the European call option that is written on the same stock with the same expiration and the same strike price?arrow_forward
