An institutional investor holds several European call options on a non-dividend-paying stock with a strike of $55. The current stock price is $65, while the continuously compounded risk-free rate is 2% p.a and volatility is 25%. Assuming that the market follows the assumptions of the Black-Scholes option model:
(i) Calculate the price of a one-year call option on the stock.
(ii) Calculate the price of a one-year put on the same stock with the same strike price.
Step by step
Solved in 3 steps with 3 images
- Consider a European call option on a non-dividend-paying stock where the stock price is $33, the strike price is $36, the risk-free rate is 6% per annum, the volatility is 25% per annum and the time to maturity is 6 months. (a) Calculate u and d for a one-step binomial tree. (b) Value the option using a non arbitrage argument. (c) Assume that the option is a put instead of a call. Value the option using the risk neutral approach. (d) Verify that the European call and European put prices found in (b) and (c) satisfy the put-call parity.In this problem, we derive the put-call parity relationship for European options on stocks that pay dividends before option expiration. For simplicity, assume that the stock makes one dividend payment of $D per share at the expiration date of the option.a. What is the value of a stock-plus-put position on the expiration date of the option?b. Now consider a portfolio comprising a call option and a zero-coupon bond with the same maturity date as the option and with face value (X + D). What is the value of this portfolio on the option expiration date? You should find that its value equals that of the stock-plus-put portfolio regardless of the stock price.c. What is the cost of establishing the two portfolios in parts (a) and (b)? Equate the costs of these portfolios, and you will derive the put-call parity relationship.In a financial market a stock is traded with a current price of 50. Next period the price of the stock can either go up with 30 per cent or go down with 25 per cent. Risk-free debt is available with an interest rate of 8 per cent. Also traded are European options on the stock with an exercise price of 45 and a time to maturity of 1, i.e. they mature next period. Calculate the price of a call option by constructing and pricing a replicating portfolio.
- Consider an european call option on a stock that is not paying dividends with the following characteristics. (i) The stock price at t = 0 is S = $30. (ii) The stricke price is $31. (iii) The volatility of the stock is 20%. (iv) The free risk interest rate is 7%. Construct a 2 period recombining Binomial tree diagram and specty tne varue or the can optron at eacn node of the tree diagram.Suppose that a call option with a strike price of $48 expires in one year and has a current market price of $5.17. The market price of the underlying stock is $46.25, and the risk-free rate is 1%. Use put-call parity to calculate the price of a put option on the same underlying stock with a strike of $48 and an expiration of one year. The price of a put option on the same underlying stock with a strike of $48 and an expiration of one year is $. (Round to the nearest cent.)Consider a portfolio that consists of the following four derivatives: 1) a put option written(sold) with strike price K − 5, 2) a call option purchased with strike price K − 5, 3) a call option written(sold) with strike price K + 5, and 4) a put option purchased at strike price K + 5. All options are European.The risk-free rate is rf , the time to expiration is T, the initial stock price is S0, and the stock price atmaturity is ST . What are the payoffs at expiration of this portfolio? What must the price of this portfoliobe?
- Consider a European call option on a non-dividend-paying stock where the stock price is $40, the strike price is $40, the risk-free rate is 4% per annum, the volatility is 30% per annum, and the time to maturity is 6 months. (a) Calculate u, d, and p for a two-step tree. (b) Value the option using a two-step tree.1. What is the fair value for a two-year American put option with a strike price of $85 over a stock which is trading at $86.15 which has a volatility of 37% when the risk free rate is 1.75% using the two step binomial tree? a) What is the delta of this option? b) What is the probability of a down movement in this stock? c) What is the probability of an up movement in this stock? d) What is the proportional move up for this stock e) What is the proportional move down for this stock f) What would be the value of the call option with the same strike price?Assume that the current price of a stock is S0 = 100. An investor holds long one European put option with a strike price of K = 100 and short one European call option with strike K = 105. Both options mature at the same time T. Assume that the stock price at maturity is ST = 102. What is the payoff to the investor? Select one: a. 2 b. 1 c. 0 d. -1 e. -2 f. None of the above
- Consider a European call on Procter and Gamble stock (PG) that expires in one period. The current stock price is $120, the strike price is $130, and the risk-free rate is 5%. Assume that PG stock will either go up to $150 (probability = .4), or go down to $90 (probability = .6). Construct a replicating portfolio based on shares of PG stock and a position in a risk-free asset, and compute the price of the call option.A European put option on a non-dividend paying stock has strike price of $40 and time to maturity 9 months. Assume the risk-free interest rate is 5% per annum, the volatility is 20% per annum and the current stock price is $38. Using the Black-Scholes model, calculate the price of the European put option.In this problem we assume the stock price S(t) follows Geometric Brownian Motion described by the following stochastic differential equation: dS = µSdt + o Sdw, where dw is the standard Wiener process and u = 0.13 and o = current stock price is $100 and the stock pays no dividends. 0.20 are constants. The Consider an at-the-money European call option on this stock with 1 year to expiration. What is the most likely value of the option at expiration? Please round your numerical answer to 2 decimal places.
