You are given the following information on some company's stock, as well as the risk- free asset. Use it to calculate the price of the call option written on that stock, as well as the price of the put option. (HINT: You should use the Black-Scholes formula!) (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answers to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Today's stock = $74 price Exercise price = $70 Risk-free rate = Option maturity = 4 months Standard deviation of annual stock returns 4.4% per year, compounded continuously Call price Put price = 62% per year

Data: S0 = 120; X = 126; 1+r = 1.05. The two possibilities for ST are 150 and 102. (Round to 2 decimal places). The range of S is 48 while that of C is 24 across the two states. What is the hedge ratio of the call? Hedge ratio ? Calculate the value of a call option on the stock with an exercise price of 126. (Do not use continuous compounding to calculate the present value of X in this example because we are using a two-state model here; the assumed 5% interest rate is an effective rate per period.)
