For a stock, you are given that: i) The current stock price is 45 ii) The stock is going to pay a dividend of 1.2 after 3 months. This is the only dividend to be paid in the coming 6 months. iii) A 6-month 42-strike European put option on the stock has a premium of 0.36 iv) The continuosly compounded risk-free interest rate is 4% Consider a 6-month 42-strike American call option on the stock. Is it optimal to excerise that call option now? Possible Answers A Yes, because the sum of implicit put protection and interest on strike is greater than the present value of dividends B No, because the sum of implicit put protection and interest on strike is greater than the present value of dividends C Yes, because the sum of implicit put protection and interest on strike is smaller than the present value of dividends D No, because the sum of implicit put protection and interest on strike is smaller than the present value of dividends E Cannot be determined
Consider two stocks: Stocks Current Price Possible Prices after one year Stock ABC $12.00 ABC + = $13.60 ABC – = $11.20 Stock XYZ $10.00 ABC + = $11.75 ABC – = $8.80 Assume a risk-free borrowing and lending rate is 5.20% and that neither stock pays dicidends, and a fractional shares can be bought and sold. Question: 1. Do you see that there opportunity to profit in this case? If so, how can that opportunity be realized? Explain your answer 2. Suppose that you are to buy at the current price, through borrowing,1000 shares of stock ABC, and sell it short. This allows you to buy stock XYZ. You also see an opportunity to engage in the bonds market risk-free2.a Do you think you can gain profit from this decision? 2.b If so, by how much? Show complete solution to justify your answerbased on higher and a lower price after one year, for both stocks.

The possible end-of-year stock prices, uS0 = $135 (up state) and dS0 = $100 (down state). What would be the call option hedge ratio for each of the following exercise prices: $135, $122, $111, $100, given the possible end-of-year stock prices, uS0 = $135 (up state) and dS0 = $100 (down state)? Exercise Price Hedge Ratio $135 ? $122 ? $111 ? $100 ?
