Question
The current price of a stock is $20, and at the end of one year its price will be either $22 or $18. The annual risk-free rate is 2.0% (use daily compounding with 365 days/year), based on daily compounding. A 1-year call option on the stock, with an exercise price of $19, is available. Based on the binominal model, what is the option's value?(Please Show Work)

- Consider an American put option with time to expiry 15 months, and a strike of 74. The current price of the underlying is 71. Divide the time to expiry into three 5-months intervals. Assume that in each 5-months interval, the price can either rise by 5, or fall by 5, with unknown probability. The risk-free (continuously compounding) rate is 0.042. Using a binomial tree, identify the circumstances under which early exercise would be rational for the holder of this option. Draw the binomial tree and show the necessary calculation and briefly explain the answer.arrow_forwardSuppose Carol's stock price is currently $60.

- A stock price is currently $52. At the end of 9 months, it will be either $60 or $44. The risk-free interest rate is 6%. Use the no-arbitrage binomial method to calculate the value of a 9-month European call option on the stock with strike price $52. Calculate the same option value using the risk-neutral methodarrow_forwardA stock is currently selling for $30. Over the next two periods, the stock will move up by a factor of 1.13 or down by a factor of 0.82 each period. A call option with a strike price of $29 is available. If the risk-free rate of Interest is 3.2 percent per period, what is the value of the call option? Note: Do not round Intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.

- 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$.

The risk-free rate is 4%. Consider a European call and put option on Optival’s stock with an exercise price of $55 that expires in 2 years. Use excel or a similar program to determine the option price using the Black-Scholes formula. (a): What is the value the European call and put option on Optival’s stock with a strike price of $60? (b): To the nearest cent, how much does the option value change for the following adjustments to the input values: ∆ in Call Value ∆ in Put Value ↑ stock price by $1 to $61 ↑ strike price by $1 to $56 ↑ the rF by 1% to 5% ↑ volatility by 1% to 21% ↑ time to maturity by 1 yr (c): Why does the value of the call increase by less than $1 when the stock price increases by $1? (d): To the nearest percent and holding all else constant, how high would the risk-free rate need to be for a 1 year increase in time to maturity to have a negative impact on the value of…arrow_forwardA put option that expires in six months with an exercise price of $65 sells for $4.45.
