Consider an European put option. Suppose Exercise price=$60. Expiration date=50 (and we assume 360 days of conversion). If risk-free rate is 5%, and the underlying stock
price is $100, what is the lower boundary for this European put option?
Use the following data to estimate the value of a European put option with X = $120. The current stock price now is SO = $100. The two possibilities for ST are $150 and $80. If the risk-free rate is 10%, estimate the value of the put option now.
a. P0 = $0 b. P0 = $40 c. P0 = $20.78 d. P0 = $22.86
Using the Black-Scholes-Merton model, calculate the value of an European call option under the
following parameters:
The underlying stock's current market price is $30; the exercise price is $35; the time to expiry is 4
months; the standard deviation is 0.5; and the risk free rate of return is 5%.

They currently have an old machine, which is operable for five more years and is expected to have a zero-disposal value at the end of five years. If the company buys the new machine, the old machine will be sold now for $95,000 (book value is $75,000). The new machine will cost $635,000 and will be depreciated for tax purposes on a straight-line basis over its useful life of 5 years. The new machine will not have a salvage value and will not be sold after its useful life. An additional cash investment in working capital of $25,000 will be required if the new machine is purchased. The investment is expected to net $80,000 in before tax cash inflows during the first year of operation and $235,000 each additional year of use. These cash flows do not include depreciation and are recognized at the end of each year. The working capital investment will not be recovered at the end of the asset's life. The company's tax rate is 32%.arrow_forwardH2.
