- Consider a stock with a current price of P = $27.Suppose that over the next 6 months the stockprice will either go up by a factor of 1.41 or downby a factor of 0.71. Consider a call option on thestock with a strike price of $25 that expires in6 months. The risk-free rate is 6%.(1) Using the binomial model, what are the endingvalues of the stock price? What are the payoffsof the call option?arrow_forwardImagine all investors are risk-neutral and we have the following binomial tree: 0 Stock: So= 80 1 100 72 2 120 90 86.4 64.8 Using the risk-neutral option valuation approach, calculate the price of a two-year put option on this stock with a strike price $92. Assume that the risk-free rate is 3% per year. Also assume the stock does not pay a dividend. Pick the closest number.arrow_forwardA power option pays off [max(S₁ - X),01² at time T where ST is the stock price at time T and X is the strike price. Consider the situation where X = 26 and T is one year. The stock price is currently $24 and at the end of one year it will either $30 or $18. The risk-free interest rate is 5% per annum, compounded continuously. What is the risk- neutral probability of the stock rising to $30? 0.500 0.603 0.450 None of the abovearrow_forward
- Give typing answer with explanation and conclusion A call option has a strike price of $11, and a time to expiration of 0.8 in years. If the stock is trading for $20, N(d1) = 0.5, N(d2) = 0.12, and the risk free rate is 5.40%, what is the value of the call option?arrow_forwardConsider a stock with a current price of $15 that will be worth either $10 or $25 1 year from now. Assume rf = 0% (annual compounding). You have invented a new derivative security called an "inverse", whose payoff in 1 year is 100 divided by the stock price, i.e., payoff =100/S1 . If the beta of the stock is 1.2, what is the beta of this new derivative?arrow_forwardA call option has X=$52 and expire in 360 days (suppose we have 360 days in one year). The risk-free rate is 4%. The call is priced at $11. A put option has X-$52 and is priced at $1. The underlying asset is priced at S0=$43. Suppose in our investments, we could involve one call, one put, one bond, and on stock. How much arbitrage profit could we possibly obtain?arrow_forward
- 1) The stock price is $30, the strike price is $30, the risk free rate is 6% per annum, the volatility is 20% per annum and the time to maturity is 9 months. Assume a 3 stop binomial model a) What is the delta of the call? Delta of the put? a) What is the price of the call option?arrow_forwardConsider the following data for a certain share. Current Price = S0 = Rs. 80 Exercise Price = E = Rs. 90 Standard deviation of continuously compounded annual return = \sigma = 0.5 Expiration period of the call option = 3 months Risk – free interest rate per annum = 6 percent a. What is the value of the call option? Use the normal distribution table. b. What is the value of a put option?arrow_forwardConsider shorting a call option c on a stock S where S = 24 is the value of the stock, K = 30 is the strike price, T = ½ is the expiration date, r = 0.04 is the continuously compounded interest rate per year, and = 0.3 is the volatility of the price of the stock. Determine the delta ratio Δ .arrow_forward
- Consider a stock with a current price of P $27 Suppose that over the next 6 months the stock price will either go up by a factor of 1.41 or down by a factor of 071. Consider a call option on the stock with a strike price of $25 that expires in 6 months. The nsk-free rate is 6%. (1) Using the binomial model, what are the ending values of the stock price? What are the payoffs of the call option?

What is the delta of a call option? 2. What is the delta of a put option?arrow_forwardConsider the following data for a certain share. Current Price = So = Rs. 80 Exercise Price = E = Rs. 90 Standard deviation of continuously compounded annual return = 0 = 0.5 Expiration period of the call option 3 months Risk – free interest rate per annum = 6 percent a.
