Suppose that a Stock has a current price of $40 and that in 6-months it may go up by 20% or down by 15%. Assuming the annual risk-free rate is 3%, compounded semi-annually, answer the following: a) Calculate the value of a $35 Call with two 6-month periods (i.e. 12-months) to expiry using the Risk Neutral Approach. b) Calculate the value of a $35 Put using Put-Call Parity. c) Without performing any calculations, explain in 1-2 sentences what you would expect to happen to the value of the Call and Put if the Exercise Price decreased. d) Do this question in the blank space below - i.e. DO NOT answer this sub-part (d) in Excel. Only your solution written below will be marked: Suppose the market price of a 12-month Call with an exercise price of $35 is $6.00. The Put price is as you calculated in (b) above. Using a payoff table, illustrate an arbitrage opportunity as a result of the mispricing of the Call. Show your workings to 3 decimal places. (If you need more space, please use the back of this page).

Suppose you are attempting to value a 1-year expiration option on a stock with volatility (i.e., annualized standard deviation) of σ = 0.34. What would be the appropriate values for u and d if your binomial model is set up using: 1 period of 1 year. 4 subperiods, each 3 months. 12 subperiods, each 1 month.
Consider the three calls from the previous problem expiring in T = 1 year. Suppose that the premium of the three options are $7, $3, $1 for A, B, and C, respectively, today (time 0). Suppose the price on the stock today is $14. Suppose the risk-free rate is constant at 5%. Graph the profit function for the butterfly strategy at time T taking into consideration the time value of the initial cost. By how much would the asset have to change over the year for your butterfly portfolio to be a loss?

For the upcoming year, the risk-free rate is 2 percent, and the expected return to the market is 7 percent. You are also given the following covariance matrix for Securities J,K, andL. \table[[Covariance,Security J,Security K,Security L],[Security J,0.0012532,0.0010344,0.0019711],[Security K,0.0010344,0.0023717,0.0013558],[Security L,0.0019711,0.0013558,0.0048442]] Also assume that you form a portfolio by putting 0 percent of your funds in Security J, 40 percent of your funds in Security K, and 60 percent of your funds in Security L. Based on this information, determine the standard deviation of the resulting portfolio. ◻ 6.47% 5.27% 4.98% 5.82% 4.77%
Required: Investors expect the market rate of return this year to be 19.00%. The expected rate of return on a stock with a beta of 1.2 is currently 22.80%. If the market return this year turns out to be 17.60%, how would you revise your expectation of the rate of return on the stock? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Revised rate of return %
a. Given the following holding-period returns, (Below)compute the average returns and the standard deviations for the Sugita Corporation and for the market. b. If Sugita's beta is 1.18and the risk-free rate is 4 percent, what would be an expected return for an investor owning Sugita? (Note: Because the preceding returns are based on monthly data, you will need to annualize the returns to make them comparable with the risk-free rate. For simplicity, you can convert from monthly to yearly returns by multiplying the average monthly returns by 12.) c. How does Sugita's historical average return compare with the return you should expect based on the Capital Asset Pricing Model and the firm's systematic risk?
The following information is provided: The risk-free rate is 2% The expected market returns are 11% If the beta of an asset changes from 0.8 to 1.5, what is the additional return that you require on this asset (in %, please round on 2 decimals)?
This section asks you to calculate prices for various options. In all cases, consider a rate r = 7.97% per year. Estimate the volatility of returns using the estimator: 1 n-1 σ²≈ T-t i=0 Si+1 log. Sti 2 The term of each option will be T = 182/360 (half a year). Determine a reasonable strike K, which is at similar levels to the price series you have downloaded. An option is a derivative instrument that gives its holder the right to buy or sell an underlying asset at a pre-agreed price K at a future date T. If this right can only be exercised in time T, we say that the option is of the European type. If it can be exercised at T or at any time prior to T, then we say that the option is American. Likewise, if the option grants the right to buy, we say that the option is Call type, if it grants the right to sell then the option is Puttype. These types of options are the simplest and are known as European vanilla options. In this case, if T is the expiration date of the contract, and St is…
