Summary Introduction

Adequate information:

To compute: Average return on large company stock and T-bills

Introduction: Average return is defined as the average of all the returns earned during a period. It can be computed by dividing all the returns in different years by the number of years.

Use the binomial method to determine the value of an American Put option at time t = 0. The option expires at time t = T = 1/2 and has exercise price E = 55. The current value of the underlying is S(0) = 50 with the underlying paying continuous dividends at the rate D = 0.05. The interest rate is r = 0.3. Use a time step of St = 1/6. Consider the case of p = 1/2 and suppose the volatility is σ = 0.3. Perform all calculations using a minimum of 4 decimal places of accuracy. =
Consider a European chooser option with exercise price E₁ and expiry date T₁ where the relevant put and call options, which depend on the value of the same underlying asset S, have the same exercise price E2 and expiry date T₂. Determine, in terms of other elementary options, the value of the chooser option for the special case when T₁ = T2. Clearly define all notation that you use.
The continuous conditional probability density function pc(S, t; S', t') for a risk neutral lognormal random walk is given by Pc(S, t; S', t') = 1 σS'√2π(t' - t) - (log(S/S) (ro²)(t − t)] exp 202 (t't) In the binomial method, the value of the underlying is Sm at time step môt and the value of the underlying at time step (m + 1)St is Sm+1. For this case evaluate Ec[(Sm+1)k|Sm] = [°° (S')*pc(S™, mdt; S', (m + 1)8t)dS' showing all steps, where k is a positive integer with k ≥ 1. You may assume that 1 e (x-n)2 2s2dx = 1 for all real numbers n and s with s > 0.
