Put–Call Parity and Dividends [LO1] The put–call parity condition is altered when dividends are paid. The dividend-adjusted put–call parity formula is:
where d is again the continuously compounded dividend yield,
a. What effect do you think the dividend yield will have on the price of a put option? Explain.
b. From the previous question, what is the price of a put option with the same strike and time to expiration as the call option?

- 2. In the context of binomial option pricing model, a decrease in the stock price volatility will reduce the current option value True or falsearrow_forwardFarrow_forwardCan you please help with the question in the picture attached? The answer should be only one and I’m quite confused. Thank you!arrow_forward
- Problem 4d: State whether the following statements are true or false. In each case, provide a brief explanation. d. In a binomial world, if a stock is more likely to go up in price than to go down, an increase in volatility would increase the price of a call option and reduce the price of a put option. Note that a static position is a position that is chosen initially and not rebalanced through time.arrow_forwardA) Explain the relationship between strike prices and implied volatilities under a price jump scenario. B) How does a dividend payment impact the option price?arrow_forwardSuppose stocks X and Y have equal current prices but different volatilities of returns, ax < øy; what would be more expensive: a call option on X or Y? Please discuss.arrow_forward
- 6. Equilibrium pricing: Let the subscripts: j = 0 denote the risk-free asset, j = 1,...,n the set of available risky securities, and M the market portfolio. For the questions that follow, assume that CAPM provides an accurate description of reality. a. b. C. d. State the CAPM equation. (1) Use the CAPM equation to show that the following condition is true s; ≤ SM for any j. What is the significance of this condition when interpreted in the context of the capital market line? (5) Assume that B = 0.8, μM = 0.1 and r = 0.05. Using the CAPM, determine the expected return from holding one unit of asset j for one period. (2) Given your answer to c.), what could you conclude (from the perspective of the security market line) if a market survey indicated that the forecasted one- period return on asset j was 8 percent? Describe and motivate the rational trading response that is consistent with your conclusion. (4)arrow_forwardwhich one is correct please confirm?

- hi could you please help solve exercise 5.8?arrow_forward5. (Replicating strategy for pricing) To price a derivative, we can use risk-neutral pricing. As an alternative yet equivalent method, we can construct price the derivative using replicating strategies. Consider a 1-period binomial model, where we have three nodes No.0, N1.0, N1.1. We have a cash account with fixed interest rate r = 0.01 - that is, if we have at No.0 cash account with D dollars, we expect (1+ r)D at either N1.0 or N1.1. We also have a stock with price S0.0 10 at No,0, S1,0 = 8 at N1,0 and S1,1 = 15 at N1,1. Now consider an European call option at time t = 1 with strike K = 12. Can you price the option at No.0 using a replicating strategy, and what is the price? Please submit your answer rounded to only one decimal digit - for example if your answer is 1.28, then submit 1.3. If your answer is 1.12, submit 1.1.arrow_forward4. Valuation of a Derivative Consider a derivative on a stock with the time to expiration T and the following payoff: 0 K₁ 0 if ST K₁. What is the present value of the derivative? Provide an analytic expression of the price using N(), the cumulative probability distribution function of a standard normal random variable.arrow_forward
