Consider the following call option:
Use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the value of the call option.
Given Information
Current Price = S = 32
Strike Price = K = 30
maturity = t = .25 years
Risk free rate = r = 4%
The (annualized) variance in the returns of the stock is .16; and
Standard Deviation = (0.16)^0.5 = 0.4
Black-Scholes option pricing model =
Calculation of variables required (d1 and d2)
d1 = [ln(32/30) + (4% + .16/2)*.25] / [0.4*(.25^(1/2))]
= [0.0645385211375712 + 0.03] / [0.4*0.5]
= 0.0945385211375712 / 0.2
= 0.472692605687856
d2 = 0.472692605687856 - [0.4*(.25^(1/2))]
= 0.472692605687856 - 0.2
= 0.272692605687856
Calculation of value of call option
C = [32 * N(0.472692605687856)] - [30 * e(-4%*0.25) * N(0.272692605687856)]
C = [32 * 0.681783748622313] - [30 * e(-4%*0.25) * 0.607455240413025]
C = [21.817079955914] - [30 * 0.990049833749168 * 0.607455240413025]
C = [21.817079955914] - [18.0423287934293]
C = [21.817079955914] - [18.0423287934293]
C = 3.77
Answer : Value of call option = 3.77

Consider a European put option on a non-dividend-paying stock. The current stock price is $69, the strike price is $70, the risk-free interest rate is 5% per annum, the volatility is 35% per annum and the time to maturity is 6 months. a. Use the Black-Scholes model to calculate the put price. b. Calculate the corresponding call option using the put-call parity relation. Use the Option Calculator Spreadsheet to verify your result.
Use the Black-Scholes model to find the price for a call option with the following inputs: (1) current stock price is $31, (2) strike price is $34, (3) time to expiration is 8 months, (4) annualized risk-free rate is 5%, and (5) variance of stock return is 0.36. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
Use the Black-Scholes model to find the price for a call option with the following inputs: (1) current stock price is $30, (2) strike price is $37, (3) time to expiration is 6 months, (4) annualized risk-free rate is 6%, and (5) variance of stock return is 0.36. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest cent.
4. Assume the following for a stock and a call and a put option written on the stock. EXERCISE PRICE = $20 CURRENT STOCK PRICE = $22 VARIANCE = .25 TIME TO EXPIRATION = 4 MONTHS RISK FREE RATE = 3% B) Use the Black Scholes procedure to determine the value of the call option and the value of a put.
. Assume the following for a stock and a call and a put option written on the stock. EXERCISE PRICE = $20 CURRENT STOCK PRICE = $22 VARIANCE = .25 Standard Deviation = .50 TIME TO EXPIRATION = 4 MONTHS T = .33 RISK FREE RATE = 3% Use the Black Scholes procedure to determine the value of the call option and the value of a put.
Consider an option on a non-dividend-paying stock when the stock price is $30, the exercise price is $29, the risk-free interest rate is 5% per annum, the volatility is 25% per annum, and the time to maturity is four months. Use the Black-Scholes-Merton formula. What is the price of the option if it is a European call? What is the price of the option if it is an American call? What is the price of the option if it is...
Consider the European digital option that pays a constant H if the stock price is above strike price X at maturity and zero otherwise. Assuming stock price S follows the following SDE under physical measure dS Assuming the risk-free rate is constant r. Please write down the price of this option and explain how it is related to the price of the standard Black-Scholes European call option. A bank has written a call option on one stock and a put...
Consider a six-month call option written on €100,000 with a strike price of $1.00 = €1.00. The current exchange rate is $1.25 = €1.00; The U.S. risk-free rate is 5% over the period and the euro-zone risk-free rate is 4%. The volatility of the underlying asset is 10.7 percent. What is value of d1 using the Black-Scholes model? The answer is 3.053 How do I get that?
Consider a six-month call option written on €100,000 with a strike price of $1.00 = €1.00. The current exchange rate is $1.25 = €1.00; The U.S. risk-free rate is 5% over the period and the euro-zone risk-free rate is 4%. Assume that N(d1)=0.9989, and N(d2)=0.9985.
