Suppose that a stock price is currently 68 dollars, and it is known that at the end of each of the next two six-month periods, the price will be eitner 19 percent higher or 19 percent lower than at the beginning of the period. Find the value of a European put option on the stock that expires a year from now, and has a strike price of 67 dollars. Assume that no arbitrage opportunities exist, and a risk-free interest rate of 7 percent. Answer= dollars.

Consider a European call option on a stock with current price $100 and volatility 25%. The stock pays a $1 dividend in 1 month. Assume that the strike price is $100 and the time to expiration is 3 months. The risk free rate is 5%. Calculate the price of the the call option.
Plot the value of a two-year European put option with a strike price of $20 on World Wide Plants as a function of the stock price. Recall that World Wide Plants has a constant dividend yield of 5% per year and that its volatility is 20% per year. The two-year risk-free rate of interest is 4%. Explain why there is a region where the option trades for less than its intrinsic value.
Suppose a one-year European put option on a stock has an exercise price of $30 and oneyear European call option on the same stock has the same exercise price of $30. The call is worth 3$ and the put is worth 2$. If the one-year interest rate is 1.5%, what is the price of the underlying stock, assuming no arbitrage opportunity?
Suppose you buy GM put for P3, which matures in two months with a strike price of P60. GM is currently trading at P62.75. If the stock price of GM falls to P57 on the expiration date of the option, the rate of return of your put is at what amount?
Determine the risk-neutral value for a European put option (for a FLB (First Local Bank) share) that expires in eight months. The strike price is R500 and the current price is R650. The interest rate is 11%, and the volatility of the security is 0.026. *DO NOT USE EXCEL OR ANY OTHER PLATFORM, SHOW STEP-BY-STEP CALCULATION

The spot price of a non-dividend paying stock is recorded as ₺100 at the close of the day. You estimate that this price is equally likely to go up by 11.1% or go down by 10% every two months and observe that the continuously compounded annual risk-free rate is 20% per year across all maturities. Use a multistep binomial tree together with the risk-neutral valuation approach to compute the theoretical price of a European put option written on this stock with a strike price of ₺80 and exactly six months until expiration
A European put option written on a non- dividend paying stock that is currently worth ₺100 in the stock market has a strike price of ₺100 and exactly five months left until its expiration date. If the continuously compounded annual risk-free rate is observed as 20% per year across all maturities and the put option is currently priced at ₺3.20 in the option market, what should be the theoretical price of a European call option written on the same stock that has the same strike price and expiration date as the put option described?
Suppose the stock price is currently $75. For the next six months there is 7.5% probability that the stock will appreciate 8% with 4% annualized drift. The risk-free rate is 1.53% per year with continuous compounding. The dividend yield is 1 p.a.%. Value the following option using binomial tress and 12-time steps. a.) What is the value of a six-month European put option with a strike price of $86. b.) What is the value of a six-month American put option with a strike price of $70. c.) What is the value of a six-month European call option with a strike price of $86. d.) What is the value of a six-month European put option with a strike price of $70. e.) Estimate how high the minimum strike price must be for it to be optimal to exercise the put option immediately.
The stock price is currently $30. Each month for the next two months it is expected to increase by 8% or reduce by 10%. The risk-free interest rate is 5%. Use a two-step tree to calculate the value of a derivative that pays off [max(30 — St； 0)]2, where St is the stock price in two months? If the derivative is American-style, should it be exercised early?
A stock price is currently $51. It is assumed that at the end of six months it will be either $30 or $74. The risk-free interest rate is 1.3% per annum with continuous compounding. The stock doesn't pay dividends. One-step binomial tree is used to value options. What is the value of a six-month European call option with a strike price of $51? Round your final result to the nearest cents and input one number only, without units or percentage sign [%], using the dot [.] to separate decimals. Your Answer: Answer
The strike price of a European put option is $30, the current price of the underlying stock is $24, the risk-free nominal rate of return is 6% and every six months the stock can either increase by a factor of 1.6 or decrease by a factor of 0.5. If the probability of the stock decreasing every six months ( nd) is 0.75, calculate the price of the put option if it is priced under the Binomial Method and expires in one year. I
