- A collar is established by buying a share of stock for $46, buying a 6-month put option with exercise price $43, and writing a 6-month call option with exercise price $49. On the basis of the volatility of the stock, you calculate that for a strike price of $43 and expiration of 6 months, N(d₁) = .6974, whereas for the exercise price of $49, N(d₁) = 0.6504. What will be the gain or loss on the collar if the stock price increases by $1? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) Collar gain by b-1. What happens to the delta of the portfolio if the stock price becomes very large? (Omit the "$" sign in your response.) a. Delta of the portfolio approaches .05 b-2.

After a cursory examination of the put option prices, Torelli suspects that a good strategy is to buy one put option A for each share of GMS stock purchased. What are the mean and standard deviation of return for this strategy?arrow_forwardYou are attempting to value a call option with an exercise price of $105 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays no dividends, its current price is $105, and you believe it has a 50% chance of increasing to $127 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $83. The risk-free rate of interest is 10%. Calculate the call option’s value using the two-state stock price model. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.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_forwardA stock is currently priced at $35 and will move up by a factor of 1.18 or down by a factor of .85 each period over each of the next two periods.

- At time t=0 Mr. Anderson sets up a riskless portfolio by taking a position in an option and in the underlying asset. Explain what Mr. Anderson needs to do at time t=1 to keep his portfolio risk neutral and why. A stock price is currently $100 and at the end of four months it will be ST . A derivative written on this stock pays off expST1/3 in four months. Given that u = 1.15, d = 0.87, and that the risk-free interest rate is 10% p.a. (continuously compounded), answer the following questions using a one-period binomial model (show all the details of your calculations and display the results with four decimal places): Calculate the value of ∆ Calculate the current value of the derivative.arrow_forwardAssume that you have shorted a call option on Intuit stock with a strike price of $40. The option will expire in exactly three months' time. a. If the stock is trading at $55 in three months, what will you owe? b. If the stock is trading at $35 in three months, what will you owe? c.

Buy 100 options (one contract) for $2,100, and invest the remaining $18,900 in a money market fund paying 6% in interest over 6 months (12% per year). What is your rate of return for each alternative for the following four stock prices in 6 months? (Leave no cells blank - be certain to enter "0" wherever required.
