6. Using the Pricing Equation [LO2] A one-year call option
contract on Cheesy Poofs Co. stock sells for $725. In one year, the
stock will be worth $64 or $81 per share. The exercise price on the
call option is $70. What is the current value of the stock if the risk-
free rate is 3 percent?
4. (15 pts) The current price of a stock is $50 and we assume it can be modeled by
geometric Brownian motion with o = .15. If the interest rate is 5% and we want to
sell an option to buy the stock for $55 in 2 years, what should be the initial price of
the option for there not to be an arbitrage opportunity?
Suppose that a call option to buy a share for $200 costs $10. What is the delta of this option today if the current stock price is $180? (ignore time value of the option)
A. around 2
B. None of these answers are correct.
C. around 0.5
D. close to 0
E. close to 1

- 2. Call Options A. How does the price of a call option respond to the following changes, other things equal? Does the price go up or down? Explain briefly the intuition for your answer. (). Stock price falls. (i). Volatility of stock price rises B. Suppose FlyByNight Corporation (FBN) is selling a one-year European call option that has an exercise price of $32. Assume that FBN's stock is currently selling for $20 and that over the coming year the price will either rise to $81 or fall to $11. Also assume that the one-year rate of interest is 10 percent. What would be the market price for this call option? Please explain carefully,arrow_forward3 Using Black-Scholes find the price of a European call option on a non-dividend paying stock when the stock price is $69, the strike price is 70, the risk-free interest rate is 12% per annum, the volatility is 30% per annum, and the time to maturity is three months? What is the value of a put using theses parameters (use put-call parity)? What happens to the price of the call if volatility is 10% and 50%? Show the prices at these volatilites.arrow_forwardHELP WITH 3 PLEASE Consider a two period economy. You can buy stocks in period 0, and then sell them in period 1. You can also enter into futures contracts in period 0, which expire in period 1. Suppose a stock has a β of 0.5. The stock pays no dividends, and is trading at $100. The market has an expected return of 10%. The interest rate is 2%. Suppose the CAPM holds. What is the stock’s expected return? What is the expected price of the stock in period 1? Consider a futures contract on the stock, expiring at t = 1. What is the fair price of the futures contract, in t = 1 dollars? Suppose you take a long position in the futures contract in period 0 (so, you promise to pay money, in exchange for getting the stock in period 1). When the futures contract expires in period 1, you receive the stock and immediately sell it. What is the expected amount you will pay in money for the stock? What is the expected amount you get from selling the stock? Since buying single-stock futures appears…arrow_forward
- Real Options & Game Theory Consider a stock that is priced at $200 today and a call option on that stock that gives you the right but not the obligation to buy the stock at $225 in one year’s time. There are only two scenarios: either an upside, on which the price rises to $300 or a downside that leads to a drop of $100. The risk free interest rate (rf) is 8%. What is the value of this option?arrow_forwardD3) Finance What is the probability that the put option is OTM at maturity if: the Stock is S = $195.00, no dividend is paid, the risk-free rate is r = 2.40%, the strike price is K = 209.00, the maturity is T = 23 months and the parameters are d1 = 0.2328 and d2 = -0.3175?arrow_forwardV You buy a straddle, which means you purchase a put and a call with the same strike price.

- Question 5: A call option on a stock that expires in a year has a strike price of $99. The current stock price is $100 and the one-year risk free interest rate is 10%. The price of this call is $6. a) Is arbitrage possible? What is the arbitrage position? b) do you het this minimum? Find the minimum arbitrage profit for this strategy. Whenarrow_forward6 Consider a stock that is worth $50. A European put and a European call on this stock have an exercise strike price of $50 and expire in one year. The call costs $5 and the put costs $4. A risk-free bond will pay $50 in one year and costs $45. Is there an arbitrage opportunity? If so, state what transactions you would make and the present value of how much profit you would earn at expiration.arrow_forwardUsing CAPM [LO4] A stock has a beta of 1.35 and an expected return of 16 percent. A risk free asset currently earns 4.8 percent. a. What is the expected return on a portfolio that is equally invested in the two assets? b.
