Black–Scholes [LO2] A stock is currently priced at $47. A call option with an expiration of one year has an exercise price of $50. The risk-free rate is 12 percent per year, compounded continuously, and the standard deviation of the stock’s return is infinitely large. What is the price of the call option?

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.

3 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.

- HELP WITH 2 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…arrow_forwardQuestion 2. (a) Use the Black-Scholes formula to find the current price of a European call option on a stock paying no income with strike 60 and maturity 18 months from now. Assume the current stock price is 50, the lognormal volatility of the stock is σ = 20%, and the constant continuously compounded interest rate is r = 10%.arrow_forward6. 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?arrow_forward

- A call option has X=$52 and expire in 360 days (suppose we have 360 days in one year). The risk-free rate is 4%. The call is priced at $11. A put option has X-$52 and is priced at $1. The underlying asset is priced at S0=$43. Suppose in our investments, we could involve one call, one put, one bond, and on stock. How much arbitrage profit could we possibly obtain?arrow_forward27.
