Chapter 25, Problem 27QP
Black–Scholes [LO2] A stock is currently priced at $50. The stock will never pay a dividend. The risk-free rate is 12 percent per year, compounded continuously, and the standard deviation of the stock’s return is 60 percent. A European call option on the stock has a strike price of $100 and no expiration date, meaning that it has an infinite life. Based on Black–Scholes, what is the value of the call option? Do you see a paradox here? Do you see a way out of the paradox?

only answer b)
Question 2. (a) Use the Black-Scholes formula to find the current price of a European call option on a stock paying no income with strike 60 and maturity 18 months from now. Assume the current stock price is 50, the lognormal volatility of the stock is σ = 20%, and the constant continuously compounded interest rate is r = 10%.
(b) Repeat part (a) for a European put with strike 60 and maturity 18 months from now
30 - With reference to the Security Market Line, assume for the current time period the Risk-Free Rate = 3.50% while the Expected Return on the “Market Portfolio” = 9.00% so that the Market Risk Premium = 5.50%. If the supply of the Risk-Free Asset decreases for the next period, while investor demand remains unchanged, the Risk-Free Rate would be expected to:
Increase in the second period.
Decrease in the second period.
Remain Unchanged in the second period.
Cannot be determined.
None of the above answers is correct.
Ay 3.
The price of a stock, which pays no dividends, is $76 and the strike price ofa10-month European put option on the stock is $90. The risk-free rate is 3.5%(continuously compounded). (1) Compute the lower bound for the option.(2) If the European put option price is $10, is there an arbitrage opportunity? How to takeadvantage of this arbitrage opportunity? What is the profit? (Please detail the actionsto be taken today and at the maturity of the option and include all the relatedcomputations)
