XYZ Corp. will pay a $2 per share dividend in two months. Its stock price currently is $60 per share. A call option on XYZ has an exercise price of $55 and 3-month time to expiration. The risk-free interest rate is .5% per month, and the stock’s volatility (standard deviation) = 7% per month. Find the Black-Scholes value of the option. (Hint: Try defining one “period” as a month, rather than as a year, and think about the net-of-dividend value of each share.)
One share of Napier Inc. is currently trading at $84 per share. In one year, the price is expected either (1) rise to $105 or (2) fall to $60. You are interested in purchasing a call option on Napier, Inc. The option has a strike price of $92 and expires in 1 year. The current risk-free rate for the year is 4%. Based on binomial options pricing (as shown in class), what is a fair price for this option? Answer to the nearest cent, with no punctuation. That is, $5.289 should be entered at 5.29.
D4) Finance Calculate the price of a 3-month American put option on a non-dividend-paying stock when the stock price is $50, the strike price is $50, the risk-free interest rate is 5% per annum, and the volatility is 25% per annum. Use a binomial tree with a time interval of 1 month.
Consider a call option on one share of BP with a strike price of $70 and exercise time 1 quarter (3 months). Suppose the current stock price for BP is S(0) = $65 per share. Suppose further that A(0) = $100, A(1) = $102 and two possible prices for S(1) are S $74 with probability 0.5, S(1) = $66 with probability 0.5. Evaluate the expected returns E(Ks) and E(Kc) for the stock and the option.

The share price of your favourite company is currently traded at a price of £60 and interest is compounded continuously at rate 3.7% per year. Assume that the share evolves according to a discrete time LogNormal process with time measured in years, drift μ= 0.15 and volatility o = 0.24. You decide to buy a European call option with a strike price of £63 and an expiration date of two years from now. What is the no- arbitrage price for this option? State your answer to the nearest pence. Do not enter the pound sign.
