Chapter 21, Problem 26P
Consider the March 2010 $5 put option on JetBlue listed in Table 21 .1. Assume that the volatility of JetBlue is 65% per year and its beta is 0.85. The short-term risk-free rate of interest is 1% per year.
- a. What is the put option’s leverage ratio?
- b. What is the beta of the put option?
- c. If the expected risk premium of the market is 6%, what is the expected return of the put option based on the
CAPM ? - d. Given its expected return, why would an investor buy a put option?

Consider the following data for a certain share.
Current Price
= So
= Rs. 80
Exercise Price
= E
= Rs. 90
Standard deviation of continuously compounded annual return = 0 = 0.5
Expiration period of the call option
3 months
Risk – free interest rate per annum
= 6 percent
a. What is the value of the call option? Use the normal distribution table.
b. What is the value of a put option?
Find the implied volatility (to 2 decimals, for example, �=8.23% ) of a Put option with a time to expiration of 11 months and a price of $6.13 The stock is currently trading at $47. The riskless rate is 2% per annum, and the strike/exercise price of the option is $50. Hint: compute the Put price using the same formula as in exercise 4 , as a function of the volatility �. Then use Solver to change the volatility cell in order to obtain a price of $6.13 \table[[�1=,-0.0614997,,So =,47],[�2=,,4,�=,50],[,,,�=,2%
Assume that K=61, St =65, t = 0.25 (i.e. time to expiry is 3 months), and the risk-free rate is 0.04. The current price of the put option is p = 4.
If the price of the call option is 7.17, describe the arbitrage that would be possible, and calculate the profit that would result.

- The prices of a certain security follow a geometric Brownian motion with parameters mu=.12 and sigma=.24. If the security's price is presently 40, what is the probability that a call option, having four months until its expiration time and with a strike price of K=42, will be exercised? (A security whose price at the time of expiration of a call option is above the strike price is said to finish in the money.) If the interest rate is 8%, what is the risk-neutral valuation of the call option?arrow_forwardConsider a put option written on an underlying security that has a current value of $100 and has a volatility of 25% (i.e. .25). The put has a strike price of $100 and expires in 1 year. The risk-free rate is 3% (.03). If the time to expiration is changed from 1 to 2 to 3 years, what happens to the value of vega (the change in the put value given a percentage point change in the volatility – say from 25% to 26%)? (Note: vega is defined in note N16 on page 8; see ).
