An investor wants to follow a spread strategy by buying a put for 6$ with a strike price of 95$ and writing a put for 4$ with a strike price of 90$. a. Draw the graph of strategy payoffs and profits b. Find the equilibrium price of this strategy (the equilibrium price is the market price of the stock where the profit is 0) c. What is the maximum profit and loss from this strategy?
V
You buy a straddle, which means you purchase a put and a call with the same strike price. The put price is $2.80 and the call price is $4.20. Assume the strike price is $75.
What is the cost of this strategy?
2. What are the break-even stock prices
2. Derive the single - period binomial model for a put option. Include a single - period example where: u = 1.10, d
= 0.95, Rf = 0.05, SO = $100, X = $100. 3. Assume ABC stock's price follows a binomial process, is trading at SO =
$100, has u 1.10, d = 0.95, and probability of its price increasing in one period is 0.5 (q = 0.5). a. Show with a
binomial tree ABC's possible stock prices, logarithmic returns, and probabilities after one period and two periods. . b.
What are the stock's expected logarithmic return and variance for 2 periods and 3 periods? c. Define the properties of a
binomial distribution.
