Assume that a stock price increased from 20 to 24 in 3 months. What is the implied annual volatility in the context of one step binomial trees?
a-0,205
b-0,425
c-0,365
d-0,305
S0*exp(volatility*sqrt(t))=Su
=>20*exp(volatility*sqrt(3/12))=24
=>volatility*sqrt(3/12)=ln(24/20)
=>volatility=ln(24/20)*1/sqrt(3/12)
=>volatility=36.4643%=0.364643

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...
Problem1 A stock is currently trading at S $40, during next 6 months stock price will increase to $44 or decrease to $32-6-month risk-free rate is rf-2%. a. [4pts) What positions in stock and T-bills will you put to replicate the pay off of a European call option with K = $38 and maturing in 6 months. b. 1pt What is the value of this European call option? Problem 2 Suppose that stock price will increase 5% and decrease 5%...
A stock sells for $25. Over the next 3 months you believe the stock will either increase to $30 or decrease to $20.The annual risk-free rate is 4%.Use the binomial option pricing model and find the price of a 3-month call option with a strike of $24.What is the Delta of the option?
Binomial Model The current price of a stock is $16. In 6 months, the price will be either $20 or $11. The annual risk-free rate is 5%. Find the price of a call option on the stock that has an strike price of $14 and that expires in 6 months. (Hint: Use daily compounding.) Round your answer to the nearest cent. Assume a 365-day year. Do not round your intermediate calculations. $
Question 1 Assume Alpha Ltd is currently trading on the NYSE with a stock price of $65. The American one-year call option on the stock is trading at $20 with strike price of $65. If the one-year rate of interest is 10% p.a. (continuously compounding), is the call price free from arbitrage or is it too cheap/expensive, assuming that the stock pays no dividends? What if the stock pays a dividend of $5 in one year? Question 2 The current...
A stock price is currently $100. A call option on this stock with a strike price of $100 and one year to maturity costs $13.61. The continuous-time interest rate is 5%. By using a one-step binomial tree, estimate the expected volatility level (σ) for the stock. Assume that u and d are modeled as below. ( Excel's Goal Seek will help solving this and will be much appreciated to be posted to see how it has been used to solve this problem, thanks)...
1) The current price of a stock is $15. In 6 months, the price will be either $18 or $13. The annual risk-free rate is 3%. Find the price of a call option on the stock that has a strike price of $14 and that expires in 6 months. (Hint: Use daily compounding.) Round your answer to the nearest cent. Assume a 365-day year. Do not round your intermediate calculations. 2) The current price of a stock is $20. In...
eBook Problem 8-07 Binomial Model The current price of a stock is $16. In 6 months, the price will be either $20 or $12. The annual risk-free rate is 3%. Find the price of a call option on the stock that has an strike price of $15 and that expires in 6 months. (Hint: Use daily compounding.) Round your answer to the nearest cent. Assume a 365-day year.

The prices of European call and put options on a dividend-paying stock with 6 months to maturity and a strike price of $125 are $20 and $5, respectively. If the current stock price is $140, what is the implied annual continuously compounded risk-free rate? Assume the present value of dividend to be paid out over the next 6 months is $3.
5. A stock sells at $50. The price will be either $57.5 or $47.5 three months from now. Assume the risk-free rate is 12% per annum with continuous compounding. Consider a call option on the stock that has a strike price of $52.5 and a maturity of 3 months. a) Find a portfolio of the stock and bonds such that buying the call is equivalent to holding the portfolio. What is the cost of the portfolio? And what is the...
