- (2) Write out the three equations that constitute the model.
- (3) According to the OPM, what is the value of a call option with the following characteristics?
Stock price = $27.00
Strike price = $25.00
Time to expiration = 6 months = 0.5 years
Risk-free
Stock return standard deviation = 0.49

II. Suppose you have the following information concerning a particular options.Stock price, S = RM 21Exercise price, K = RM 20Interest rate, r = 0.08Maturity, T = 180 days = 0.5Standard deviation, = 0.5
a. What is correct of the call options using Black-Scholes model? b. Compute the put options price using Black-Scholes model?
c. Outline the appropriate arbitrage strategy and graphically prove that the arbitrage is riskless.Note: Use the call and put options prices you have computed in the previous question (a) and (b) above.b. Name the options/stock strategy used to proof the put-call parity. c. What would be the extent of your profit in (a) depend on?
You are evaluating a put option based on the following information:
P = Ke-H•N(-d,) – S-N(-d,)
Stock price, So
Exercise price, k
= RM 11
= RM 10
= 0.10
Maturity, T= 90 days = 0.25
Standard deviation, o = 0.5
Interest rate, r
Calculate the fair value of the put based on Black-Scholes pricing model. Cumulative
normal distribution table is provided at the back.

- A call option with X = $50 on a stock currently priced at S = $55 is selling for $10. Using a volatility estimate of σ = .30, you find that N(d1 ) = .6 and N(d2 ) = .5. The risk-free interest rate is zero. Is the implied volatility based on the option price more or less than .30? Explain.arrow_forwardAn option is trading at $3.45. If it has a delta of .78, what would the price of the option be if the underlying increases by $.75? A. What would the price of the option be if the underlying decreases by $.55? B. What makes this a call option? C. With a delta of .78, is this option ITM, ATM or OTM and how?arrow_forwardUse the Black-Scholes formula to find the value of a call option based on the following inputs.

- Assume that the value of a call option using the Black-Scholes model is $8.94. The interest rate is 8 percent, and the time to maturity is 90 days. The price of the underlying stock is $47.38, and the exercise price is $45. Calculate the price of a put using the put-call parity relationship.arrow_forwardAssume the following inputs for a call option: (1) current stock price is $25, (2) strike price is $28, (3) time to expiration is 4 months, (4) annualized risk-free rate is 5%, and (5) variance of stock return is 0.33. Use the Black-Scholes model to find the price for the call option. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.arrow_forwardA call option with X = $55 on a stock priced at S = $60 is sells for $12. Using a volatility estimate of σ = 0.35, you find that N(d1) = 0.7163 and N(d2) = 0.6543. The risk-free interest rate is zero. Is the implied volatility based on the option price more or less than 0.35?arrow_forward
- You are pricing options with the following characteristics: •Current stock price (St): $35.60 •Exercise price (X): $50 •Time to expiration (T-t): 9 months •Risk-free rate (rf): 3.25% •Volatility (0): 45% (a): What is the Black-Scholes value of call option? In your hand-written solution, provide the calculations of d1,d2, and the final call price. Use Excel or another spreadsheet program to compute the values of N(d1) and N(d2). See the notes for details. (b): Using put-call parity, what is the value of a put option? For this case, assume continuous compounding, which implies that PVt(X)=e-r(T-t).X.arrow_forwardYou are given the following information on some company's stock, as well as the risk- free asset.
