Chapter 22, Problem 26QP
Two-State Option Pricing Model Ken is interested in buying a European call option written on Southeastern Airlines, Inc., a non-dividend-paying common stock, with a strike price of $65 and one year until expiration. Currently, the company’s stock sells for $62 per share. In one year Ken knows that the company’s stock will be trading at either $76 per share or $54 per share. Ken is able to borrow and lend at the risk-free EAR of 2.5 percent.
- a. What should the call option sell for today?
- b. If no options currently trade on the stock, is there a way to create a synthetic call option with identical payoffs to the call option just described? If there is, how would you do it?
- c. How much docs the synthetic call option cost? Is this greater than, less than, or equal to what the actual call option costs? Does this make sense?

A put option in finance allows you to sell a share of stock at a given price in the future. There are different types of put options. A European put option allows you to sell a share of stock at a given price, called the exercise price, at a
particular point in time after the purchase of the option. For example, suppose you purchase a she-month European put option for a share of stock with an exercise price of $25. tf six months later, the stock price per share is $26
more, the option has no value. If in six months the stock price is lower than $26 per share, then you can purchase the stock and immediately sell it at the higher exercise price of $26. If the price per share in six months is $22.50, you
can purchase a share of the stock for $22.50 and then use the put option to immediately sell the share for $26. Your profit would be the difference, $25-$22.50-$3.50 per share, less the cost of the option. If you paid $1.00 per put
ption, then your profit would be $3.30-11.00-$2.50 per…
