Homework Answers
Correct answer: Cannot be determined
To calculate Call price under Binomial model we need following infomation:
- Up factor or Up price for each step
- Down factor or Down for each step
- Risk neutral probability for up and down
- Risk free rate
In given case, Risk free rate is not given, thus we can not determine the call price.
Hope it will help, please do comment if you need any further explanation. Your feedback would be highly appreciated.

5. Consider a European call option on the stock of XYZ, with a strike price of $25 and two months to expiration. The stock pays continuous dividends at the annual yield rate of 5%. The annual continuously compounded risk free interst rate is 11%. The stock currently trades for $23 per share. Suppose that in two months, the stock will trade for either S18 per share or $29 per share. Use the one-period binomial option pricing model to find today's...

14. Consider a one period binomial model. The initial stock price is $30. Over the next 3 months, the stock price could either go up to $36 (u = 1.2) or go down to $24 (d = 0.8). The continuously compounded interest rate is 6% per annum. Use this information to answer the remaining questions in this assignment. Consider a call option whose strike price is $32.

The current price of a non-dividend-paying stock is 30. The volatility of the stock is 0.3 per annum. The risk free rate is 0.05 for all maturities. Using the Cox-Ross-Rubinstein binomial tree model with two time steps to do the valuation, what is the value of a European call option with a strike price of 32 that expires in 6 months?

Question 3 - 20 Points Consider a European call option on a non-dividend-paying stock where the stock price is $33, the strike price is $36, the risk-free rate is 6% per annum, the volatility is 25% per annum and the time to maturity is 6 months. (a) Calculate u and d for a one-step binomial tree. (b) Value the option using a non arbitrage argument. (c) Assume that the option is a put instead of a call. Value the option...

A stock is currently priced at $52.00. The risk free rate is 4.6% per annum with continuous compounding. In 5 months, its price will be $60.84 with probability 0.57 or $44.72 with probability 0.43. Using the binomial tree model, compute the present value of your expected profit if you buy a 5 month European call with strike price $57.00. Recall that profit can be negative.
