3. Suppose the current stock price is $50 and you believe that, one year from now, the stock will sell for either $60 (up-state) or $30 (down-state). The yield on a 1-year risk-free zero coupon bond is currently 4%. What would be the call option delta (Δ) with an exercise price of $40? (SHOW YOUR WORK)

- My broker just called and offered to sell me a stock with an expected return of 30% annually. If the risk-free rate is 2% and the expected return on the market is 16%, then how much riskier is this stock than the average stock in the market? Select one: O a. 1.0x (same risk) O b. 2.0x (twice as risky) O c. 2.27x O d. 3.0x Oe. None of the above.arrow_forward3) Suppose that the price of a non-dividend-paying stock is $27, its vo itility is 20%, and the risk- free rate for all maturities is 6% per annum. Provide a table showing the relationship between profit and final stock price for a butterfly spread using European put option with strike prices of $20, $25, and $30 and a maturity of one year. Ignore the impact of time a e of money.arrow_forwardD3) Finance What is the probability that the put option is OTM at maturity if: the Stock is S = $195.00, no dividend is paid, the risk-free rate is r = 2.40%, the strike price is K = 209.00, the maturity is T = 23 months and the parameters are d1 = 0.2328 and d2 = -0.3175?arrow_forward
- You are pricing options with the following characteristics: •Current stock price (St): $35.60 •Exercise price (X): $50 •Time to expiration (T-t): 9 months •Risk-free rate (rf): 3.25% •Volatility (0): 45% (a): What is the Black-Scholes value of call option? In your hand-written solution, provide the calculations of d1,d2, and the final call price. Use Excel or another spreadsheet program to compute the values of N(d1) and N(d2). See the notes for details. (b): Using put-call parity, what is the value of a put option? For this case, assume continuous compounding, which implies that PVt(X)=e-r(T-t).X.arrow_forwardM4arrow_forwardplease answer as soon as possible?arrow_forward
- A firm wishes to bid on a contract that is expected to yield the following after-tax net cash flows at the end of each year: Year Net Cash Flow 1 $3,000 2 10,000 3 9,000 4 8,000 5 4,000 6 6,000 7 4,000 8 -$1,500 To secure the contract, the firm must spend $50,000 to retool its plant. This retooling will have no salvage value at the end of the 8 years. Comparable investment alternatives are available to the firm that earn 11 percent compounded annually. The depreciation tax benefit from the retooling is reflected in the net cash flows in the table. Use Table II to answer the questions. Compute the project's net present value. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. NPV: $ Should the project be adopted? The project be adopted. What is the meaning of the computed net present value figure? Round your answer to the nearest dollar. The value of the firm, and therefore the shareholders’ wealth, is by $ as a result of…arrow_forwardAssume the one period binomial model with initial share price £400, up and down factors u = 1.25, d = 0.9 and interest compounded at nominal rate (per time period) of 5%. Consider an option with payoff (S(0) + S(1))/2. The replicating portfolio for this option at time 0 will have shares and pounds in a bank. State your answers to three significant figures.arrow_forwardThe market price of a security is $50. Its expected rate of return is 10%. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the market risk premium is 8%. What will the market price of the security be if its beta doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)? Assume the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)arrow_forward
