D3 show the solution in details Use the binomial option pricing model to find the value of a call option on £10,000 with a strike price of €12,500. The current exchange rate is €1.50/£1.00 and in the next period the exchange rate can increase to €2.40/£ or decrease to €0.9375/€1.00 (i.e. u = 1.6 and d = 1/u = 0.625). The current interest rates are i€ = 3% and are i£ = 4%. Choose the answer closest to yours. the answer is A) €3,275
8. Assume that the spot price of crude oil is $20 a barrel and the annual interest rate equals 4%. The cost of storing and insuring oil for one year is 1%. (a) What is the price of the 1- year forward contract for crude oil? (b) What should you do if the forward crude oil price is $20? (c) What if the crude oil forward price is $25?

PROBLEM 3. Spot price of crude oil is 83.84/bbl. The total interest rate on six-month loans and deposits is 0.84%. The storage cost is 0.33% of the asset value per month paid at the end of the storage period. Assuming no transaction cost, determine the no-arbitrage price for a crude oil futures contract maturing six months from now.
23. Assume that a speculator purchases a put option on British pounds (with a strike price of $1.50) for $.05 per unit. A pound option represents 31,250 units. Assume that at the time of the purchase, the spot rate of the pound is $1.51 and continually rises to $1.62 by the expiration date. The highest net profit possible for the speculator based on the information above is: A) $1,562.50. B) -$1,562.50. C) -$1,250.00. D) -$625.00.
