Check out a sample textbook solution- Suppose the ASX200 Index is currently at 7,406, the expected dividend yield on the index is 2 percent per year, and the risk-free rate is 0.35%. Using the current price of ASX200 futures contracts that expire in six months recommend a program trading strategy for buying or selling the futures?arrow_forwardThe average annual return on the S&P 500 Index from 1996 to 2005 was 13.27 percent. The average annual T-bill yield during the same period was 3.92 percent.What was the market risk premium during these ten years? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Average Market Risk Premium: ___.__%arrow_forwardUse the Black-Scholes formula for the following stock: Time to expiration 6 months Standard deviation 60% per year Exercise price $57 Stock price $57 Annual interest rate 3% Dividend 0 Recalculate the value of the call with the following changes: a. Time to expiration 3 months b. Standard deviation 25% per year c. Exercise price $64 d. Stock price $64 e. Interest rate 6% Select each scenario independently. Note: Round your answers to 2 decimal places.arrow_forward
- The spot price of the market index is $900. After 3 months the market index is priced at $920. The annual rate of interest on treasuries is 4.8%(0.4% per month).The premium on the long put, with an exercise price of $930, is $8.00. Draw the payoff graph for the long put position at expiration.Include strike price,breakeven price, and max loss.arrow_forwardYou Consider a stock with a price of $50 that is expected to increase by 6% or decrease by 8% each month over the next two months. Having a risk-free rate at 3% per year with continuous compounding, calculate the value of a two-month Anmerican put option with a strike price of $55.arrow_forwardConsider the following information on a particular stock:Stock price = $88Exercise price = $84Risk-free rate = 5% per year, compounded continuouslyMaturity = 11 monthsStandard deviation =53% per year. What What is the delta of a put option?arrow_forward
- Calculate the simple three-day moving average for the S&P 500 and the exponential three-day moving average where two-thirds of the weight is placed on the most recent close. Why would you want to know the moving average for an index? If the close on April 12, 2019, was below the three-day moving average, would it be a buy or sell signal?arrow_forwardThe current price of a stock is $20. In 1 year, the price will be either $28 or $15. The annual risk-free rate is 7%. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the question below. Find the price of a call option on the stock that has a strike price is of $25 and that expires in 1 year. (Hint: Use daily compounding.) Assume 365-day year. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.arrow_forwardThe stock price is currently $30. Each month for the next two months it is expected to increase by 8% or reduce by 10%. The risk-free interest rate is 5%. Use a two-step tree to calculate the value of a derivative that pays off [max(30 — St; 0)]2, where St is the stock price in two months? If the derivative is American-style, should it be exercised early?arrow_forward
- A stock currently trades at $40, and the volatility of its return is 10%. The continuously compounded rate of interest is 12%. Consider a call option struck at $45, with 75 days to expiration (recall that there are 251 trading days in one year). a) What is the price of the option (rounded to the nearest cent)? Answer = $ . b) What is the option's delta (rounded to four decimal places)? Answer = . c) Use your answer from (b) to estimate the value of the option tomorrow, assuming the stock is trading at $40.95 at that time? Answer = $ . d) What is the exact value of the option tomorrow, assuming the stock is trading at $40.95 at that time? Answer = $ . [Note: Use software to compute the values of the normal CDF, not the table.]arrow_forwardUse the Black-Scholes formula for the following stock: Time to expiration 6 months Standard deviation 52% per year Exercise price $53 Stock price $51 Annual interest rate 2% Dividend 0 Calculate the value of a put option. (Round to 2 decimal places). Value of a put optionarrow_forwardYou observe the price of a market index at $1,259.50 today. The last cash flow to equity was reported as $58.19, and cash flows to equity are expected to grow at an annual rate of 5.73% for the next 5-years. As well, the long-term growth rate (of cash flows to equity) beyond the first five years is 2.28%. Forecast the cash flows and subsequently calculate the return on the market Rm given that the price of the index is the present value of future cash flows to equity, discount at Rm.arrow_forward
