Explain why an American call options on futures could be optimally exercised early while call options on the spot can not be optimally exercised. Assume that there is no dividend. Explain how to use call options and put options to create a synthetic short position in stock.
Option Risk True or false: The unsystematic risk of a share of stock is irrelevant for valuingthe stock because it can be diversified away; therefore, it is also irrelevant for valuing a call optionon the stock. Explain
If underlying is non-dividend paying, then the time value of an American call option is positive, hence American call should never be exercised early. True False
Part I. Explain why an American call options on futures could be optimally exercised early while call options on the spot can not be optimally exercised. Assume that there is no dividend. Explain how to use call options and put options to create a synthetic short position in stock. Part II. Indicate whether each of the following two statements below is true, false or uncertain and justify your response. It is theoretically impossible for an out-of-money European call and an in-the-money European put to be trading at the same price. Both options are written on the same non-dividend paying stock. A 3-month European put option on a non-dividend-paying stock is currently selling for $3.80. The stock price is $48.0, the strike price is $51, and the risk-free interest rate is 6% per annum (continuous compounding). There is no arbitrage opportunity in this scenario.
Tick all those statements on options that are correct (and don't tick those statements that are incorrect). O a. In general the equation S(T) + (K – S(T)) = (S(T) – K) + K is valid. O b. The Black-Scholes formula is based on the assumption that the share price follows a geometric Brownian motion. An American put option should never be exercised before the expiry time. d. If interest is compounded continuously then the put-call parity formula is P + S(0) = C + Ke T where T is the expiry time. -T c. O e. The put-call parity formula necessarily requires the assumption that the share price follows a geometric Brownain motion.
*which of the following statements is true? Select one: O Investors sell a stock when required return is less than expected return and buy a stock when required return above expected return O Investors sell a stock when it is under-valued and buy it when it is over-valued. O Investors buy a stock when it is under-valued and sell it when it is over-valued None of the answers are correct
Explain carefully why Blacks approach to evaluating an American call option on a dividend-paying stock may give an approximate answer even when only one dividend is anticipated. Does the answer given by Blacks approach understate or overstate the true option value? Explain your answer.
Which of the following statements is correct? As the volatility of the stock price increases (all else remaining unchanged), both European calls and puts become less valuable. The seller of an option can choose whether to post a margin or not. Consider a call and a put which are both written on the same asset, and have the same strike price and the same time-to-maturity. It is possible for the call and the put to be out-of-the-money at the same time. The intrinsic value of a European option is the value it would have if the time-to-maturity was zero. Please explain and justify your choice using your own words.
My question is for a synthetic call option why do we need to borrow the present value of the strike price and what does it mean in a simple language explanation. Similarly why do we need to lend the present value of the stock at risk-free rate and what does it mean in simple language explanation? Please also clarify the significance of risk free rate? Why is it used in put call parity. Synthetic Call Option: If an investor believes that a call option is over-priced, then he/she can sell the call on the market and replicate a synthetic call. Borrow the present value of the strike price at the risk free rate and purchase the underlying stock and a put. Synthetic Put Option: Similar to the synthetic call option. A synthetic put can be created by re-arranging the put-call parity relationship, if the trader believes the put is overvalued. Synthetic Stock: A synthetic stock can also be created by rearranging the put-call parity identity. In this case, the investor will buy the…
Which of the following is NOT true? a. If the choice is cash, a liability has to be recorded until the SARS are exercised. b. Stock options will almost always have value, whereas restricted stock may not. C. An option-pricing model is not used for valuing restricted stock. d. An executive receiving restricted stock is given the stock prior to vesting.
