Suppose you have $28,000 to invest. You're considering Miller-Moore Equine Enterprises (MMEE), which is currently selling for $40 per share. You notice that a put option with a $40 strike is available with a premium of $2.80. Calculate your percentage return on the put option for the six-month holding period if the stock price declines to $36 per share. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your 6-month return as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.) Percentage return %
A speculator can choose between (i) buying 108 shares of a stock for $50.58 per share, and (ii) buying 1080 European call options on that stock with a strike price of $42 for $3.99 per option. At maturity, what is the stock price that would make the two alternatives equally profitable? a. 1.58 O b. 42.81 O c. 47.57 d. 45.96 e. 14.18
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.
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.
Consider a two-state outcome for the following problem: Winterhold Publishing House Current Stock Price $25.00 Exercise Price $27.00 Risk-free Rate 0.05 Share Price, High $30.00 Share Price, Low $20.00 Required: Using the data above, please find the hedge ratio. You currently own several shares of this company. The purchase puts according to the Hedge ratio to construct a non-random portfolio. Show the payoff for both outcomes, then solve for present value and the price of the put.
You are attempting to value a call option with an exercise price of $140 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays no dividends, its current price is $140, and you believe it has a 50% chance of increasing to $160 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $120. The risk-free rate of interest is 10%. Consider one share of stock and two written calls. Calculate the call option's value using the two-state stock price model. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
Honeywell does not pay a dividend and its stock has a volatility of 28% and a current stock price of $67 per share. The risk-free interest is 4%. Determine the Black-Scholes value of a one-year, at-the-money call option on Honeywell's stock. (You must show me how you do this without an Excel-based option pricing model. That is, you must show your work with the formulas and Z-Tables. The value will likely be different than if you just plug into an Excel-based BSOPM). The call option's value is $. (Round to the nearest cent.)
IBM stock currently sells for 100 dollars per share. The implied volatility equals 20.0. The risk-free rate of interest is 4.0 percent continuously compounded. If you owned a 200 shares of IBM stock, how many call options with a strike price of 95 and a maturity of 6 months would you have to buy (sell) to create a delta-neutral hedge? Assume each option controls one share of IBM stock. Answer should be rounded to 2 decimal places.
In the coming week, the outcomes from a class action lawsuit will result in a significant shock to the price of "M", which may be positive or negative. Thus, you decide to follow a Straddle strategy using a call option and a put option with strike 105, which have premiums of 16 and 9, respectively. If the stock price is 87 today, what is the total profit of your portfolio? Keep in mind that each call option contract controls 100 shares. Please round your answer to the nearest three decimals.
