Black–Scholes [LO2] A call option has an exercise price of $60 and matures in six months. The current stock price is $67, and the risk-free rate is 5 percent per year, compounded continuously. What is the price of the call if the standard deviation of the stock is 0 percent per year?

A power option pays off [max(S₁ - X),01² at time T where ST is the stock price at time
T and X is the strike price. Consider the situation where X = 26 and T is one year. The
stock price is currently $24 and at the end of one year it will either $30 or $18. The
risk-free interest rate is 5% per annum, compounded continuously. What is the risk-
neutral probability of the stock rising to $30?

Suppose that a stock price is currently 70 dollars, and it is known that at the end of each of the next two six-month periods, the price will be either 17 percent higher or 17 percent lower than at the beginning of the period. Find the value of an American put option on the stock that expires a year from now, and has a strike price of 76 dollars. Assume that no arbitrage opportunities exist, and a risk-free interest rate of 11 percent.
Answer =
dollars.
Please show proper step by step calculation
6. Let us consider a European option on a stock that does not yield any dividend.
Assume that that the price of this option is described by the Black-Scholes model
with a drift of 10% per year, volatility of 40% per year. The current price of the
stock is S, = £16. The risk-free interest rate on the market is 4% per year.
1) a) Calculate the price of a call option with strike price of £18 and a maturity
T of one year.
b) Using the put-call parity calculate the price of the corresponding put op-
tion.
2) Imagine that in 6 months from now, the stock costs £16.4. Is it worth to wait 6
months before buying the call option above and investing in a saving account
what we would have paid for buying the call at the initial time? Would this
still apply if the stock costed £19.2 in 6 months from now?
