Required: You are attempting to value a call option with an exercise price of $80 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays no dividends, its current price is $80, and you believe it has a 50% chance of increasing to $90 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $70. The risk-free rate of interest is 5%. Consider one share of stock and two written calls. Calculate the call option's value using the two- state stock price model. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Value of the call

The current price of a stock is $34, and the annual risk-free rate is 3%. A call option with a strike price of $32 and with 1 year until expiration has a current value of $6.12. What is the value of a put option written on the stock with the same exercise price and expiration date as the call option? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
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.
Suppose there is also a 1-year European put option on the same stock as in Question 3 with exercise price $30. The current stock price is also $25 and the stock price, in 1 year, will be either $35 (up by 40%) or $20 (down by 20%). The interest rate is 8%. This stock does not pay dividend. What is the value of the put option? Please use risk neutral probability method and assume discrete discounting. (2) What is put-call parity in option pricing? What needs to be true in order for put-call parity to hold?
A collar is established by buying a share of stock for $54, buying a 6-month put option with exercise price $47, and writing a 6-month call option with exercise price $61. On the basis of the volatility of the stock, you calculate that for a strike price of $47 and expiration of 6 months, N(d1) = 0.7298, whereas for the exercise price of $61, N(d1) = 0.6374. Required: What will be the gain or loss on the collar if the stock price increases by $1? What happens to the delta of the portfolio if the stock price becomes very large? What happens to the delta of the portfolio if the stock price becomes very small?
Suppose that you plan to invest in stock A, because you believe that stock A will appreciate in the next 6 months. The stock current price is $100, and a call option on stock A expiring in 6 months has an exercise price of $100 selling at $15 per option. And you have $7500 in hand to invest the following three strategies: A: Invest entirely in stock A. B: Invest entirely in call option on stock A. C: Buy call options the amount of calls is same as the number of shares we purchase in strategy A, and invest the remaining money in T-bills at interest rate whose annual interest rate is 10%. Suppose that the possible stock price are $90, $100, $110, and $120. (a) At expiration (after 6 months), compute the rates of return for each strategy given different possible stock prices. We don't consider the premium we’ve paid for holding call options in this case. (b) Given different stock price at expiration, which strategy would you like to choose? For example, if the stock price is $90, which…
You are attempting to value a put option with an exercise price of $108 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays no dividends, its current price is $108, and you believe it has a 50% chance of increasing to $130 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $86. The risk-free rate of interest is 10%. Calculate the value of a put option with exercise price $108. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. X Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Value of a put option $ 107.50
3. A stock sells for $110. A call option on the stock has an exercise price of $105 and expires in 43 days. If the interest rate is 0.11 and the standard deviation of the stock’s return is 0.25. a) Calculate the call using the Black-Scholes model b) What would be the price of a put with an exercise price of $140 and the same time until expiration? c) How does an increase in the volatility and interest rate changes affect the underlying stock’s return on an option’s value? Explain.
Suppose you buy a stock at $70 together with a put option with a strike of $70 and a premium of $5. Your minimum payoff at expiration is $_----
A put option is currently selling for $5.8. It has a strike price of $65 and seven months to maturity. The current stock price is $71. The risk-free rate is 4.8 percent, and the stock will pay a $3.1 dividend in two months. What is the price of a call option with the same strike price? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "$" sign in your response.) Price of a call option
A call option is the right to buy stock at $50 a share. Currently the option has six months to expiration, the volatility of the stock (standard deviation) is 0.30, and the rate of interest is 10 percent. A) What is the value of the option according to the Black-Scholes model if the price of the stock is $45, $50, or $55? B) What is the value of the option when the price of the stock is $50 and the option expires in six months, three months, or one month? C) What is the value of the option when the price of the stock is $50 and the interest rate is 5 percent, 10 percent, or 15 percent?
You buy a share of stock, write a 1-year call option with X = $85, and buy a 1-year put option with X = $85. Your net outlay to establish the entire portfolio is $83.3. Required: What is the payoff of your portfolio? What must be the risk-free interest rate? The stock pays no dividends. Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
You bought (that is, you are “long”) both a put option and a call option on Strockfoot stock with the same expiration date. The exercise price of the call option is $40 and the exercise price of the put option is $30. Carefully graph the payoff of the combination of options at expiration.
