Assume that interest is compounded continuously at nominal rate 2%. (a) Assuming no-arbitrage, determine the current price S(0) of Bancroft & Sons stock. Enter your answer correct to the nearest pound. Answer: (b) Determine the no-arbitrage price of a European put option on Bancroft & Sons stock with strike 150 and expiry 3 years. Enter your answer correct to the nearest pound. Answer:arrow_forwardA 2-year bond with face value £300,000 is redeemable at half-par and has semi-annual coupons paid at annual rate 4%. Suppose that interest is compounded quarterly at nominal rate 3%. (a) Answer: What is the amount of the first payment? (b) What is the amount of the last payment? Answer: (c) Determine the no-arbitrage price of the bond. Enter your answer correct to the nearest pound. Answer: (d) Determine the duration of the cash flow generated by the bond. Enter your answer correct to 3 significant digits. Answer:arrow_forwardTick all statements which are correct, but do not tick those that are incorrect. a. A forward contract gives you the right but not the obligation to buy a certain product at a specified time in the future for a fixed price. b. An American put option should always be exercised before its expiry time. C. The price of a put option and of a call option with the same expiration time and strike price can never be the same. d. If there is a sporting event with 3 different outcomes with corresponding odds equal to o₁ = 2,02 = 2, and 03 = opportunity for a suitable betting strategy. = 3, then there is an arbitrage e. If there is arbitrage, then a risk-neutral distribution exists.arrow_forward
