- HELP WITH 4 PLEASE Consider a two period economy. You can buy stocks in period 0, and then sell them in period 1. You can also enter into futures contracts in period 0, which expire in period 1. Suppose a stock has a β of 0.5. The stock pays no dividends, and is trading at $100. The market has an expected return of 10%. The interest rate is 2%. Suppose the CAPM holds. What is the stock’s expected return? What is the expected price of the stock in period 1? Consider a futures contract on the stock, expiring at t = 1. What is the fair price of the futures contract, in t = 1 dollars? Suppose you take a long position in the futures contract in period 0 (so, you promise to pay money, in exchange for getting the stock in period 1). When the futures contract expires in period 1, you receive the stock and immediately sell it. What is the expected amount you will pay in money for the stock? What is the expected amount you get from selling the stock? Since buying single-stock futures appears…arrow_forwardKF1. Which statement is false? a All else being equal, options of the same strike will increase in price depending on the volatility of the underlying. b According to put-call parity, if a stock is trading for a price that is at-the-money, the put and the call should be trading at the same, or very close to, the same price. c A short put option is functionally the same as a long call option (it results in the same thing). d All statements are true e All statements are falsearrow_forwardQ2: You have been working as a treasurer at Citibank for the past five years and have previously used swaps, futures and forward contracts to mitigate risk. However, you have never used options so you are interested in exploring the market. You want to start with small transactions and are considering purchasing a European put on a share for $3. The stock is 42 and the strike price is $40. Furthermore, you are also considering purchasing a call option with the same terms as the put option. Consider the following questions: Under what circumstances does the investor make a profit? Under what circumstances will the options be exercised? Draw diagrams showing the variation of the investor’s profit.arrow_forward
- Finance 5. Can you replicate the payoff of a call option (create a synthetic call), using a bond, a stock and a put option? If S=$40, X=$40, rf=6%, T=1, and p=$3, how much would it cost to establish this call position?arrow_forwardA call option with a strike price of $100 costs $5. A put option with a strike price of $85 costs $4. Explain how a strangle can be created from these two options. What is the cost of this strategy? When should I exercise my options? For what range of future stock prices would the strategy lead to a gain and what is the maximum gain you can receive? Prove your answer by providing an example. 5 For what range of future stock prices would the strategy lead to a loss and what is the maximum loss you could sustain? Prove it by giving an example.arrow_forward4.

Flexibility option Abandonment option Expansion option Timing option Consider the following example: Smoltz Motors has plants around the country that specialize in specific models of cars. Smoltz has determined that lower demand has led the firm’s inventory of SUVs to be too high. Smoltz wants to stop production for its SUVs and focus on its sedans.

- Data: S0 = 102; X = 115; 1 + r = 1.1. The two possibilities for ST are 146 and 84. Required: The range of S is 62 while that of P is 31 across the two states. What is the hedge ratio of the put? Form a portfolio of one share of stock and two puts. What is the (nonrandom) payoff to this portfolio? What is the present value of the portfolio? Given that the stock currently is selling at 102, calculate the put value.arrow_forwardData: S0 = 120; X = 126; 1+r = 1.05. The two possibilities for ST are 150 and 102. (Round to 2 decimal places).
