Chapter 22, Problem 26QP
Two-State Option Pricing Model Ken is interested in buying a European call option written on Southeastern Airlines, Inc., a non-dividend-paying common stock, with a strike price of $65 and one year until expiration. Currently, the company’s stock sells for $62 per share. In one year Ken knows that the company’s stock will be trading at either $76 per share or $54 per share. Ken is able to borrow and lend at the risk-free EAR of 2.5 percent.
- a. What should the call option sell for today?
- b. If no options currently trade on the stock, is there a way to create a synthetic call option with identical payoffs to the call option just described? If there is, how would you do it?
- c. How much docs the synthetic call option cost? Is this greater than, less than, or equal to what the actual call option costs? Does this make sense?

There are different types of put options. A European put option allows you to sell a share of stock at a given price, called the exercise price, at a particular point in time after the purchase of the option. For example, suppose you purchase a six-month European put option for a share of stock with an exercise price of $26. If six months later, the stock price per share is $26 or more, the option has no value. If in six months the stock price is lower than $26 per share, then you can purchase the stock and immediately sell it at the higher exercise price of $26. If the price per share in six months is $22.50, you can purchase a share of the stock for $22.50 and then use the put option to immediately sell the share for $26. Your profit would be the difference, $26 − $22.50 = $3.50 per share, less the cost of the option. If you paid $1.00 per put option, then your profit would be $3.50 − $1.00…arrow_forwardA put option in finance allows you to sell a share of stock at a given price in the future.
