As an option trader, you are constantly looking for opportunities to make an arbitrage transaction (that is, a trade in which you do not need to commit your own capital or take any risk but can still make a profit). Suppose you observe the following prices for options on DRKC Co. stock: $3.18 for a call with an exercise price of $60, and $3.38 for a put with an exercise price of $60. Both options expire in exactly six months, and the price of a six-month T-bill is $97.00 (for face value of $100).  a. Using the put-call-spot parity condition, demonstrate graphically how you could synthetically re-create the payoff structure of a share of DRKC stock in six months, using a combination of puts, calls, and T-bills transacted today.  b.

What insights does the Black-Scholes option pricing model provide about financial derivatives? The Black-Scholes model is a mathematical model used to determine the fair price or theoretical value of a European-style option. It incorporates variables such as the current stock price, option strike price, time until expiration, risk-free rate, and stock volatility. The model assumes that stock prices follow a log-normal distribution and that markets are efficient, with no transaction costs or taxes. While originally developed for stock options, its principles have been extended to value various types of financial derivatives. The Black-Scholes model revolutionized the field of quantitative finance and played a crucial role in the growth of the derivatives market. Despite its limitations and assumptions, it remains a fundamental tool in options trading and risk management.
This question is about futures risk premia. Consider a two period economy.You can buy stocksin period 0, and then sell them in period 1. You can also enter into futures contracts in period 0, whichexpire in period 1.   Since buying single-stock futures appears to be a fairly profitable trade, you decide toinvest in a futures strategy. You enter a long futures contract position. You also invest cash in period 0 at the risk-free rate, so you have just enough topay for the futures contract at expiration. You plan to sell the stock just after expiration. What is theexpected return on this trading strategy (in terms of expected period-1 dollars you get, per period-0dollar invested)?
