- V3. By looking at the sensivities of your portfolio to δs = -$2 and δσ = -1%, you decide to hedge delta, gamma and Vega risk of your portfolio with the underlying stock and two different options on the same asset with below data. Calculate the units of stock you need to trade to hedge away all delta, gamma and Vega risks of your portfolio.(Note that here you have to calculate the units of stock, Option A and Option B, but you will only submit the units of stock.)arrow_forwardConsider a call option whose maturity date is T and strike price is K. At any time t < T, is it always the case that the call option's price must be greater than or equal to max(St – K,0), where St is the stock price at t? (Your answer cannot be more than 30 words. Answers with more than 30 words will not be graded.)arrow_forwardII.

What is correct of the call options using Black-Scholes model? b. Compute the put options price using Black-Scholes model? c. Outline the appropriate arbitrage strategy and graphically prove that the arbitrage is riskless.Note: Use the call and put options prices you have computed in the previous question (a) and (b) above.b.

- Both call and put options are affected by the following five factors: the exercise price, the underlying stock price, the time to expiration, the stock’s standard deviation, and the risk-free rate. However, the direction of the effects on call and put options could be different. Use the following table to identify whether each statement describes put options or call options. Statement Put Option Call Option 1. An option is more valuable the longer the maturity. 2. A longer maturity in-the-money option on a risky stock is more valuable than the same shorter maturity option. 3. When the exercise price increases, option prices increase. 4. As the risk-free rate increases, the value of the option increases.arrow_forwardD3) Finance Consider an option with α being a non-negative parameter and the option pays ((S(T))α − K)+ at maturity date T. Let Cα(S(0), σ, r) be the risk neutral price of the option (with interest rate r and volatility σ) when the initial price is S(0). Obviously, C1(S(0), σ, r) = C(S(0), σ, r) is the price of an ordinary call option. Show that, Cα(S(0), σ, r) = e(α−1)(r+ασ2/2)TC((S(0))α, ασ, rα), where rα = α(r − σ2/2) + α2σ2/2.arrow_forwardIn the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the value of a call is inversely related to: a. the risk-free interest stock b. the volatility of the stock c. its time to expiration date d. its stock price e. its strike pricearrow_forward
- Which of the following is not a determinant of the value of a call option in the Black-Scholes model? A. The interest rate. B. The exercise price of the stock. C. The price of the underlying stock. D. The beta of the underlying stock. Need typed answer only.Please give answer within 45 minutesarrow_forwardYou write a put option with X = 100 and buy a put with X = 110. The puts are on the same stock and have the same expiration date.a. Draw the payoff graph for this strategy.b. Draw the profit graph for this strategy.c. If the underlying stock has positive beta, does this portfolio have positive or negative beta?arrow_forwardConsider two put options on the same stock. One has a strike price of 58 and the other has a strike price of 62. If the current stock price is 60, which would you expect to be more expensive? Question 15Answer a.
