Summary Introduction

To compute: Risk-neutral value of the call option.

Risk-Neutral:

Risk-neutral works on the basis, assuming that the call options expected return is equal to the risk free rate. It has been assumed here that the interested investors would not look for the compensation more than the risk free rate.

Call Option:

A call option does not carry any obligation on the right given to an individual to ‘purchase’ an asset at any particular fixed price or given point of time.

The current price of a stock is $22, and at the end of one year its price will be either $27 or $17. The annual risk-free rate is 6.0%, based on daily compounding. A 1-year call option on the stock, with an exercise price of $22, is available. Based on the binomial model, what is the option's value? (Hint: Use daily compounding.)
A stock with an annual standard deviation of 18 percent currently sells for $68. The risk-free rate is 3.1 percent. What is the value of a put option with a strike price of $75 and 62 days to expiration?
Assume BBB stock price is currently $20. In each six-month period, it will either fall by 50 percent or rise by 100 percent. What is the current value of a one-year call option with an exercise price of $15? The six-month risk-free interest rate is 5 percent per six-month period. [Use the two-stage binomial method.]
