Textbook Question
Chapter 20, Problem 27P
Suppose the S&P 500 is at 900, and a one-year European call option with a strike price of $400 has a negative time value. If the interest rate is 5%, what can you conclude about the dividend yield of the S&P 500? (Assume all dividends are paid at the end of the year.)

Consider a European call option and a European put option that have the same underlying stock, the same strike price K = 40, and the same expiration date 6 months from now. The current stock price is $45.
a) Suppose the annualized risk-free rate r = 2%, what is the difference between the call premium and the put premium implied by no-arbitrage?
b) Suppose the annualized risk-free borrowing rate = 4%, and the annualized risk-free lending rate = 2%. Find the maximum and minimum difference between the call premium and the put premium, i.e., C − P such that there is no arbitrage opportunities.
Consider a 2-year EUROPEAN PUT with a strike price of $65 on a stock whose current stock price is $60. Suppose that there are two time steps, and in each time step the stock price either moves up by 20% or moves down by 20%. Also suppose that risk-free rate is 5% per annum with continuous compounding . What is the value of the European put option?
Which of the following statements is (are) TRUE?
Select one or more alternatives:
If the AUD trades at a forward premium relative to the NZD, we would expect the NZD risk-free rate to be
higher than the AUD risk-free rate.
If the 1-year AUD risk-free rate is higher than the 1-year NZD risk-free rate then the value of the NZD will
rise relative to the AUD over the next year.
Assuming it doesn't hedge, a New Zealand based company importing Australian products will suffer if the
value of the AUD rises relative to the NZD.
□ If covered interest rate parity holds, then uncovered interest rate parity must also hold.

- You are an investor in the world where short-selling assets is prohibited. Suppose that the price of asset X in period 0 is $200. This asset will pay a dividend of $8 one year from now in period 1. Let the riskless interest rate from 0 to period q be 5%.Assume the price for a future contract delivery in period 1 is $210. a) Can you make an arbitrage profit when $210 is the price? If so, state specifically what financial transaction? b) Now, assume the price for a futures contract with delivery in period 1 is K190. Can you make an arbitrage profit when this is the price? If so, state specifically what financial transaction you would make in 0 and period 1 to realize a profit. If not, explain?arrow_forwardConsider a European put and a European call option which are both written on a non-dividend paying stock, have the same strike price K = £80 and expire in T = 2 months. These options are trading for p = £21 and c = £30.80, respectively. The underlying stock price is S0 = £90. The continuously compounded risk-free rate of interest is r = 10% per annum. What is the present value of the arbitrage profit? Please explain your answer and show your workings. In your response, please show all cash flows (both today and at expiration) and explain why this is an arbitrage (i.e. risk-less) profit.arrow_forwardSuppose a one-year European put option on a stock has an exercise price of $30 and oneyear European call option on the same stock has the same exercise price of $30.

Estimate a numerical upper bound for the asset price S(t) (to nearest 0.01) at which an European put will sell below its intrinsic value of max(E – S(t), 0).
