Risk A1 Q3-2i Question 3. Currency Option Pricing with Binomial Model On January 11, the spot exchange rate for the U.S. dollar is $0.70 per Canadian dollar. In one year’s time, the Canadian dollar is expected to appreciate by 20 percent or depreciate by 15 percent. We have a European put option on U.S. dollars expiring in one year, with an exercise price of 1.39 CND$/US$, that is currently selling for a price of $2.93. Each put option gives the holder the right to sell 10,000 U.S. dollars. The current one-year Canadian Treasury Bill rate is 2 percent, while the one-year U.S. Treasury Bill rate is 3 percent, both compounded annually. Treat the Canadian dollar as the domestic currency. 2. i. Calculate the estimated value of this put option for Canadian T-Bill rates of 0%, 1%, 2%, 4%, 5%, and 6%. Plot these values in a graph (by hand or using Excel), with put option values on the y-axis and Canadian T-bill rates on the x-axis.

Problem 19-4 (Algo) Required: Suppose a U.S. investor wishes to invest in a British firm currently selling for £33 per share. The investor has $66,000 to invest, and the current exchange rate is $2/£. Consider three possible prices per share at £31, £36, and £41 after 1 year. Also, consider three possible exchange rates at $1.60/£, $2/£, and $2.40/£ after 1 year. Calculate the standard deviation of both the pound- and dollar- denominated rates of return if each of the nine outcomes (three possible prices per share in pounds times three possible exchange rates) is equally likely. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your percentage answers to 2 decimal places.) X Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Standard deviation of pound-denominated return Standard deviation of dollar-denominated return 12.37 19.68 %
