To compute:The Value of a stock-plus-put position as on the ending date of the option.
Introduction:
Put-Call parity relationship: It is a relationship defined among the amounts of European put options and European call options of the given same class. The condition implied here is that the underlying asset, strike price, and expiration dates are the same in both the options. The Put-Call
Parity equation is as follows:
Where C= Call premium
P=Put premium
X=Strike Price of Call and Put
r=Annual interest rate
t= Time in years
S0= Initial price of underlying
b
To compute: The value of the portfolio as on the ending date of the option when portfolio includes a call option and zero-coupon bond with face value (X+D) and make sure its value equals the stock plus-put portfolio.
Introduction:
Value of the portfolio:It is also called as the portfolio value. The present value on a specific date derived after calculating the cash availability for debt service at a certain discounted rate can be termed as value of the portfolio.
c.
To compute: The cost of establishing above said portfolios and derives the put-call parity relationship.

- 1. Consider a family of European call options on a non - dividend - paying stock, with maturity T, each option being identical except for its strike price. The current value of the call with strike price K is denoted by C(K) . There is a risk - free asset with interest rate r >= 0 (b) If you observe that the prices of the two options C( K 1) and C( K 2) satisfy K2 K 1<C(K1)-C(K2), construct a zero - cost strategy that corresponds to an arbitrage opportunity, and explain why this strategy leads to arbitrage.arrow_forwardConsider two put options on different stocks.

- Suppose you observe the following situation on two securities:Security Beta Expected Return Pete Corp. 0.8 0.12 Repete Corp. 1.1 0.16 Assume these two securities are correctly priced. Based on the CAPM, what is the return on the market?arrow_forwardSuppose that a call option with a strike price of $48 expires in one year and has a current market price of $5.17. The market price of the underlying stock is $46.25, and the risk-free rate is 1%. Use put-call parity to calculate the price of a put option on the same underlying stock with a strike of $48 and an expiration of one year. The price of a put option on the same underlying stock with a strike of $48 and an expiration of one year is $. (Round to the nearest cent.)arrow_forward1.

- A three-step binomial tree with terminal stock prices being 1.103, 0.875, 0.695, and 0.552. At time 0, if you have the insider information that at the maturity the stock price will be 0.875. Then, will the option premium at time 0 still be same as if you don't have this information, please choose from the answers below? a) Option premium is irrelevant to the private information (about the underlying) that option holder possesses. b) As in that case, the risk neutral probability of the impossible sample paths become zero.arrow_forward4. Consider an exchange option. Suppose the initial prices (time 0) of the two stocks are S =S2 = 100 and a =0.40,. Suppose also that the returns on the stocks are uncorrelated. Assume no dividends and final maturity of the option is T = 2 year: (a) Using the closed-form expressions for the price of these options, identify the price of the exchange option when o = 0, a2 =0.20, ag =0.40, and @2 =0.60. (b) Is there a trend in the price? Intuitively, why is this the case?arrow_forwardIn a financial market a stock is traded with a current price of 50. Next period the price of the stock can either go up with 30 per cent or go down with 25 per cent. Risk-free debt is available with an interest rate of 8 per cent. Also traded are European options on the stock with an exercise price of 45 and a time to maturity of 1, i.e. they mature next period. Calculate the price of a call option by constructing and pricing a replicating portfolio.arrow_forward
