A non-dividend-paying stock, currently priced at GH¢125 per share, can either go up by GH¢25or down GH¢25 in a year. Consider a one-year European call option with a strike price ofGH¢135. The continuously-compounded risk-free interest rate is 8%. Use a one-period binomialmodel to determine the current price of the call option.
Assume the Black-Scholes framework for a stock. You are given: i) The current stock price is 40 ii) The stock pays no dividends iii) The expected rate of appreciation is 16% iv) The stock's volatility is 30% v) The Black-Scholes price of a 6-month 42-strike European call on the stock is 3.22 vi) The continuously compounded risk-free rate is 8% You just bought a 6-month straddle which pays the absolute difference between the stock price after 6 months and 42. Calculate the probability of having a positive profit after 6 months.

The price of a stock, which pays no dividends, is $64 and the strike price of a one year European call option on the stock is $60. The risk-free rate is 3% (continuously compounded). What is the lower bound for the call option? A. $5.98 B. $5.77 C. $4.12 D. $2.17
5. Suppose the one-year futures price on a stock-index portfolio is 1218, the stock index currently is 1200, the one-year risk-free interest rate is 3%, and the ybar-end dividend that will be paid on a $1,200 investment in the index portfolio is $15. a. By how much is the contract mispriced? b. Formulate a zero-net-investment arbitrage portfolio and show that you can lock in riskless profits equal to the futures mispricing. Assume a zero bid-ask spread in security and futures transactions. Now assume that if you short sell the stocks in the index portfolio, the proceeds are kept with the broker, and you do not receive any interest income of the funds. Is there still an arbitrage opportunity (assuming that you don't already own the shares in the index)? d. Given the short sale rules, what is the no-arbitrage band for the stock-futures price relationship? Specifically, how high and how low can the futures price be without giving rise to arbitrage opportunities. C.
Suppose the following for European options: Stock price $94 3-month call options with strike price $97 3-month put option with strike price $98 1-year risk-free rate is 3%. The put option is trading ot $5 and there is an identical call option that is trading for $4. The arbitrage gain that can be made is equal to: O a. $2.00 b. $0.27 Oc. $3.00 O d. $1.27 O e $227
A two-year European call option is written on a stock whose current price is $20. The stock will pay a dividend of $1 three months from now and another $1 one and half years from now. The strike price is $18, and the riskfree interest rate is 5%. Then the tightest lower bound for the call option value is, 6. $1.8976 $1.535 $1.194 a. b. с. d. $1.7976. Six-month call options with strike prices of $25 and $30 cost $4 and $3 respectively.
