- Assume that the price of a forward contract is 127.87. The European options on the forward contract has an exercise price $150, expiring in 60 days. 3.75% is the continuously compounded risk-free rate, and volatility is 0.33. Using the Black-Scholes-Merton model, compute the price of a put option on the underlying asset.Consider the following data (interest rate is per period): S = 100; K = 75;R = 1.20 ; u = 1.5 ; d = .5. 1. What is the binomial price of a European call option with two periods until expiration? What is the price an American option with the same strike price and same time to expiration. Is there ever early exercise? 2. Show that the binomial option price for a European put option with two periods to go until expiration is 3.125. Show that the binomial price for an American put is 6.25. Can you conclude from the difference in prices alone that early exercise may be optimal? When is it optimal? 3. Use your answers to (i) and (ii) to verify that put-call parity holds for European options, but not for American options.

Explain your answer.You are considering a European put option and a European call option on ABC Ltd and have available the following information. The put option with an exercise price of $15 and time to maturity of 60 days is priced at $2.00. The call option with the same exercise price and time to maturity is priced at $3.00. The underlying asset price is $15. The risk-free rate is 2% per 60 days. Could an arbitrage profit be earned? If so, how much the arbitrage profit is? Show your works (Hint: use discrete put-call parity equation and consider two scenarios for stock price at maturity of the options: $10 or $20).
