To determine: Value of one month call option with $40 as an exercise price.

a)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Company H stock prices changes once in a month either by increase in 20% or decreases by 16.7%.

Current price level is $40 and interest rate is 1% per month.

Calculation of value of option:

First, it is necessary to find out the probabilities by using risk-neutral method.

    1=(p×20)+(1p)(16.7)p=0.4823=48%

Therefore, the value of p is 48% and,

  1p=148%=52%

Therefore, there is 48% of chances that price of stock will rise by 20% and a 52% chances that option will worth of $0 when it matures.

Valueofcall(C)=[(0.48×$8)+(0.52×$0)]1.01=$3.82

Therefore, the value of call is $3.82

b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Value of delta.

b)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Calculation of value of delta:

Delta=SpreadofpossibleoptionpricesSpreadofpossibleshareprices=$80$48$33.32=0.545

Hence, the value of option delta is 0.545

c)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The way payoffs of this call option be replicated based on replicated portfolio method.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation of value of call by using replicating portfolio method:

Month 1-a:

Call=[(0.48×$0)+(0.52×$0)]1.01=0

Hence the value of call under month 1-a is ‘0’

Month 1-b:

Valueofcall=[(0.48×$17.6)+(0.52×$0)]1.01=$8.4

Therefore, value of the call under month 1-b is $8.4

Month 0:

Valueofcall=[(0.48×$0)+(0.52×$8.4)]1.01=$4.0

Therefore, value of the call under month 0 is $4.0

e)

Summary Introduction

To determine: Value of delta.

e)

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Calculation of delta:

Delta=SpreadofpossibleoptionpricesSpreadofpossibleshareprices=$8.40$48$33.3=0.572

Hence, the delta value is 0.572
