By looking at the sensivities of your portfolio to δs = -$2 and δσ = -1%, you decide to hedge delta, gamma and Vega risk of your portfolio with the underlying stock and two different options on the same asset with below data. Calculate the units of stock you need to trade to hedge away all delta, gamma and Vega risks of your portfolio.(Note that here you have to calculate the units of stock, Option A and Option B, but you will only submit the units of stock.)
4. Consider a stock with a current price of S0 = $60. The value of the stock at time t = 1 can take one of two values: S1,u = $100, S1,d = $40. The price of a risk-free bond that pays out $1 in period t = 1 is $0.90.
(a) Using a one-step binomial tree, write down the possible payoffs of a put option on stock S with strike K = $60 and maturity t = 1.
(b) What is the price of this put option?
(c) What is the price of a call option with strike K = $60 and maturity t = 1? Please use put-call parity to find the call price.
