The risk free rate is 5% per period and a(non - income paying) security has a current price of $300 in one period the price will either rise to $360 or fall to $240. A one period European put option exisits with a strike price of $ 325. A second one period European put option exists with a strike price of $ 315. Which put would you expect to have a greater price.

You are considering a European put option and a European call option on ABC Ltd and have available the following information. The put option with an exercise price of $15 and time to maturity of 60 days is priced at $2.00. The call option with the same exercise price and time to maturity is priced at $3.00. The underlying asset price is $15. The risk-free rate is 2% per 60 days. Could an arbitrage profit be earned? If so, how much the arbitrage profit is? Show your works (Hint: use discrete put-call parity equation and consider two scenarios for stock price at maturity of the options: $10 or $20).
Assume that the price of a forward contract is 127.87. The European options on the forward contract has an exercise price $150, expiring in 60 days. 3.75% is the continuously compounded risk-free rate, and volatility is 0.33. A. Using the Black model, calculate the price of a call option on a forward contract. B. Calculate the underlying asset's price. Using the Black-Scholes-Merton model, determine the price of a call option on the underlying asset. Should this pricing be any different from the one calculated in letter A? Explain your answer. C. Using the Black model, calculate the price of a put option on a forward contract. D. Using the Black-Scholes-Merton model, compute the price of a put option on the underlying asset. Should this pricing be any different from the one calculated in letter C? Explain your answer.
Suppose that, in each period, the cost of a security either goes up by a factor of 2 or goes down by a factor of 1/2 (i.e. u=2, d=1/2). If the initial price of the security is 100, determine the no-arbitrage cost of a call option to purchase the security at the end of two periods for a price of 150.
What is the rho of a European put option with the following parameters? As a reminder, rho is defined as the first derivative of the option price with respect to the risk free rate. s0 = $40k = $39 r = 10%sigma = 20%T = 0.75 years (required precision 0.01 +/- 0.01) Greeks Reference Guide: Delta = ∂π/∂S Theta = ∂π/∂t Gamma = (∂2π)/(∂S2) Vega = ∂π/∂σ Rho = ∂π/∂r
1. Suppose that, in each period, the cost of a security either goes up by a factor of u = 2 or down by a factor d = 1/2. Assume the initial price of the security is $100 and that the interest rate r is 0. c) Assuming the strike price of a European call option on this security is $90, compute the possible payoffs of the call option given that the option expires in two periods.
Given the following information, predict the European call option's new price after the risk free rate changes. Initial call option price = $3 Initial risk free rate = 9.9% Rho = 9 New risk free rate = 9.5% (required precision 0.01 +/- 0.01) Greeks Reference Guide: Delta = ∂π/∂S Theta = ∂π/∂t Gamma = (∂2π)/(∂S2) Vega = ∂π/∂σ Rho = ∂π/∂r Recall that rho is defined as the partial derivative of the option's price with respect to the risk free rate. (i.e. rho = ∂π / ∂r).
Assume that K=61, St =65, t = 0.25 (i.e. time to expiry is 3 months), and the risk-free rate is 0.04. The current price of the put option is p = 4. What would the price of the call option ‘c’ need to be for put-call parity to hold?
Suppose that, in each period, the cost of a security either goes up by a factor of 2 or goes down by a factor of 1/2 (i.e.,u= 2, d=1/2). If the initial price of the security is 100, determine the no-arbitrage cost of a call option to purchasse the security at the end of two periods for a price of 150. My main question is what should the no-arbitrage price of the call be? Can I have complete detail and formula please.
use binomial option pricing model for this question. suppose the current spot rate for USD/CHF is 0.7. you need to find the one-year call option price of USD/CHF with the exercise price of 0.68 USD/CHF. Assume that our future states will be either 0.7739 U&SD/CHF or 0.6332 USD/CHF. 1) What are the payoffs of a call option (for both states) 2) what is the hedge ratio of the call option?
The continuously compounded interest rate on 5-year default-free Australian dollar-denominated bonds is 0.5% per annum. The continuously compounded interest rate on 5-year default-free Euro- denominated bonds is 0.2% per annum. There are no transactions costs. The current exchange rate is $1.50 Australian for 1 Euro. There will be arbitrage opportunities unless a 5-year European-style put option on 50,000 Euro with an exercise price of $90,000 is worth at least O $13,528.88 O $12,777.89 O 557.413.10 O $16,524.60 O $13,524.15
Consider a European Call Option with a strike of 82. The current price of the underlying asset is 80, and the time to expiry is 5 months. The current market price of the option is 6.22. The risk-free rate is 4.1%. (b) You believe the true volatility is 28.4%. Is the option under-priced or overpriced? Hence what position should you take in option to make money. Explain.
