Consider the three calls from the
previous problem expiring in T = 1
year. Suppose that the premium of the
three options are $7, $3, $1 for A, B,
and C, respectively, today (time 0).
Suppose the price on the stock today
is $14. Suppose the risk-free rate is
constant at 5%. Graph the profit
function for the butterfly strategy at
time T taking into consideration the
time value of the initial cost. By how
much would the asset have to change
over the year for your butterfly
portfolio to be a loss?
An investor is considering purchasing a share of stock. Earnings are expected to be $6 per share and the price next year is expected to be $100. Suppose risk-free interest rates fall and the required rate of return decreases from 7% to 6%. Nothing else changes. What is new price the investor is wiling to pay for the stock? Answer in dollars and do not enter a $ sign. Round to two decimal places.
