2. (a) State the Black-Scholes formulas for the prices at time 0 of a European call and put options on a non-dividend-paying stock ABC.(b) 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 20% per annum, and the time to maturity is 5 months. What is the price of the option if it is a European call?
Consider an asset that trades at $100 today. Suppose that the European call and put options on this asset are available both with a strike price of $100. The options expire in 275 days, and the volatility is 45%. The continuously compounded risk-free rate is 3%. Determine the value of the European call and put options using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. Assume that the continuously compounded yield on the asset is 1,5% and there are 365 days in the year.

Consider European call and pit on a non dividend paying stock; both for T=1yr. The stock price is $45/share and k=$45/share for both options. The call premium is equal to the put premium c=p= $7/share. The annual risk-free rate is 10%. Use the put-call parity and show that there exist an arbitrage opportunity. Also, show the complete table of cash flows and P/L at the options expiration of a strategy that will create the arbitrage profit in Q2.
