In the derivation of the option pricing formula, we required that a delta-hedged position earn the risk-free rate of return. A different approach to pricing an option is to impose the condition that the actual expected return on the option must equal the equilibrium expected return.
Suppose the risk premium on the stock is 0.03, the price of the underlying stock is 111, the call option price is 4.63, and the delta of the call option is 0.4.
Determine the risk premium on the option.
