Given the following information, predict the European call option's new price after the risk free rate changes. Initial call option price = $3 Initial risk free rate = 9.9% Rho = 9 New risk free rate = 9.5% (required precision 0.01 +/- 0.01) Greeks Reference Guide: Delta = ∂π/∂S Theta = ∂π/∂t Gamma = (∂2π)/(∂S2) Vega = ∂π/∂σ Rho = ∂π/∂r Recall that rho is defined as the partial derivative of the option's price with respect to the risk free rate. (i.e. rho = ∂π / ∂r).
Which one of the following statements is true? Multiple Choice O O O O A call with a strike price of $25 and a stock price of $23 has positive intrinsic value. A European style option is more valuable than an American style option. An American style out-of-the-money call option can have a positive value. A $40 put option has more intrinsic value than a $50 put option on the same underlying asset. The time value of an option is equal to the intrinsic value minus the option premium.
i)identify, analyze and discuss the following characteristics of an American put option: maximum value, intrinsic value, time value, lower bound, and payoff at expiration. ii) analyze and discuss the following factors on an American put option: time to expiration, exercise price, interest rate, volatility, and dividends. iii) identify, analyze, and discuss the following characteristics of a European call option: maximum value, intrinsic value, time value, lower bound, and payoff at expiration. iv) analyze and discuss the following factors on a European call option: time to expiration, exercise price, interest rate,
Which of the following statements about European option contracts is TRUE? a. Typically American options are cheaper than otherwise similar European options due to the uncertainty regarding the date of exercise. b. One can synthesise a long forward position in the underlying by being long a call and short a put c. A long call position and a short put position both involve buying the underlying and so are equivalent d. The price of an option can be obtained by computing the true probabilities of each state of nature, working out the expected option payoff across those states and then discounting back to the present.
H2. Using the Black-Scholes model (BSOPM), compute the standard deviation that is implied by the following call option data as: the time to the option's maturity is 0.25 years, the price of the underlying option asset is RM30, the continuously compounded risk-free interest rate is 0.12. the exercise or striking price is RM30, and the cost or premium of the call is RM1.90.
a)analyze and discuss the following factors on a European call option: time to expiration, exercise price, interest rate, volatility, and dividends. b) identify, analyze, and discuss the following characteristics of a European put option: maximum value, intrinsic value, time value, lower bound, and payoff at expiration. c) analyze and discuss the following factors on a European put option: time to expiration, exercise price, interest rate, volatility, and dividends. d) discuss the relationship between American and European option prices. e) derive the put-call parity and discuss its implications. f) discuss the characteristics of a currency option.
[S1] An American option would be more valuable than a European option. [S2] When the price of the underlyingasset is greater than the exercise price of the option, then a call option would be more valuable than a putoption. a. Only S1 is true. b. Only S2 is true. c. Both are true. d. Both are false.
A European call option can be exercised a. any time in the future b. only on the expiration date c. if the price of the underlying asset declines below the exerciase price d. immediately after dividends are paid e. none of these.
I have been working on the question below and I'm stuck on how to finish it up. I have provided what I've done so far. Is what I've done so far correct? And how do I finish up the problem? Here is the question: Suppose that C is the price of a European call option to purchase a security whose present price is S. Show that if C>S then there is an opportunity for arbitrage (i.e. risk-less profit). You may assume the interest rate is r=0 so that the present value calculations are unnecessary. My work so far: There is an opportunity for arbitrage if we can create a portfolio that initially (time t=0) generates a zero net cash flow or a cash inflow, but still produce a positive or zero cash inflow at the time of expiration. Assume we are going to short sell one call option C, and buy one stock S. Consider the cash flows at time t=0.Cash flow of selling one call option: +CCash flow of buying one stock: -STherefore, since C>S, we have an initial cash inflow of C-S>0. We will now…
A call option will cost more today if I. the underlying asset's value in today's market is lower. II. its exercise price is higher. III. the stock's current value goes up. IV. its strike price goes down.
