A stock is trading at $80 per share. The stock is expected to have a yearend dividend of $4 per share (D1 = $4), and it is expected to grow at some constant rate, g, throughout time. The stock’s required rate of return is 14% (assume the market is in equilibrium with the required return equal to the expected return). What is your forecast of gL?
Consider a stock, the current price (S.) of which is $30. We model stock-price evolution using a Binomial model. In every three-month period, u = 1.1052 and d = 0.9048. The risk free rate of interest is 5% per annum continuously compounded. The four-step Binomial tree is shown below: 44.75 40.50 36.64 36.64 33.16 33.16 30 30.00 30.00 27.15 27.15 24.56 24.56 22.22 20.11 Node Time: 0.0000 0.2500 0.5000 0.7500 1.0000 A European-style exotic derivative has been written on this stock. The derivative has one year to expiry. Denote by S;, S2, S; and S4 the stock price after three, six, nine and twelve months respectively. The payoff to the derivative is specified as follows: [max(S2,S,)–min(S,,S,) if S, 2 30 Рayoff 3D max(S,S,S,)-S, if S, < 30 Required: Using a four-step Binomial framework and the risk-neutral approach, calculate the current value of this exotic derivative. Use continuous compounding for all present value calculations. Show all working.
A stock is currently trading at $57 and we assume a three-period binomial tree model where each period the stock can either increase by 13%, or fall by 15%. Each step in the tree is 3 months. The interest rate is 2.0% per year (continuous compounding). In this model, what is the risk-neutral probability that the stock price will go up twice and drop once over the three periods?

For a two-period binomial model, you are given: Each period is one year. The current price for a non dividend-paying stock is 20. u = 1.2840, where u is one plus the rate of capital gain on the stock per period if the stock price goes up. d = 0.8607, where d is one plus the rate of capital loss on the stock per period if the stock price goes down. The continuously compounded risk-free interest rate is 5%. Calculate the price of an American call option on the stock with a strike price of 22.
You build a binomial model with one period and assert that over the course of a year, the stock price will either rise by a factor of 1.5 or fall by a factor of 2/3. What is your implicit assumption about the volatility of the stock’s rate of return over the next year?
The next question is based on the following data for a two-period binomial model. • The stock's price S is $100. After three months, it either goes up and gets multiplied by the factor U = 1.14, or it goes down and gets multiplied by the factor D = 1/U. Options mature after T = 0.5 year and have a strike price of K = $96. • The continuously compounded risk-free interest rate r is 1.6 percent per year. Today's price of an American put option is: [round to two decimal places]
You have a stock trading at $100. The stock follows a lognormal distribution: with drift of 20% and volatilty of 30%. The risk free rate is 2%. What is the risk-neutral probability for a 3- month 100 put to expire in the money? Find N(-d2). Compare the results.
Consider a stock with a current price of P = $27.Suppose that over the next 6 months the stockprice will either go up by a factor of 1.41 or downby a factor of 0.71. Consider a call option on thestock with a strike price of $25 that expires in6 months. The risk-free rate is 6%.(1) Using the binomial model, what are the endingvalues of the stock price? What are the payoffsof the call option?
You are thinking of buying a stock priced at $98 per share. Assume that the risk-free rate is about 4.7% and the market risk premium is 5.5%. If you think the stock will rise to $122 per share by the end of the year, at which time it will pay a $1.74 dividend, what beta would it need to have for this expectation to be consistent with the CAPM? The beta is (Round to two decimal places.)
The current spot price of a stock is $89.00, the expected rate of return is 9.8%, and the volatility of the stock is 18%. The risk-free rate is 3.3%. Assume the log-normal model. (a) Calculate the Delta A. and Vega v. of a European call with strike $94.00 expiring in 14 months. Enter your solution for A, to three decimal places. Enter your solution for v. as a dollar value to two decimal places. Ac = Vc = (b) Calculate the Delta A, and Vega v, of a European straddle with strike $94.00 expiring in 14 months. Enter your solution for As to three decimal places. Enter your solution for v, as a dollar value to two decimal places. As =
The spot price of a non-dividend paying stock is recorded as ₺80 at the close of the day. You estimatethat this price is equally likely to go up by 11.1% or go down by 10% every two months and observe thatthe continuously compounded annual risk-free rate is 20% per year across all maturities. Use a three-stepbinomial tree and the risk-neutral valuation approach to compute the theoretical value of a European putoption written on this stock that has a strike price of ₺75 and exactly six months until its expiration date.
Consider 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?
