A company stock whose current price is $192 is expected to either increase to $242 or decrease to $185 over the next nine months with equal probability. Compute the price of a nine-month at-the-money European put option. Use the fact that the riskless rate is 3.3% per year with continuous compounding. Express your answer with two decimals.

Suppose that a stock price is currently 64 dollars, and it is known that at the end of each of the next two six- month periods, the price will be either 18 percent higher or 18 percent lower than at the beginning of the period. Find the value of a European put option on the stock that expires a year from now, and has a strike price of 58 dollars. Assume that no arbitrage opportunities exist, and a risk-free interest rate of 10 percent.
Suppose that a stock price is currently 61 dollars, and it is known that at the end of each of the next two six-month periods, the price will be either 18 percent higher or 18 percent lower than at the beginning of the period.

Suppose that a stock price is currently 68 dollars, and it is known that at the end of each of the next two six-month periods, the price will be either 19 percent higher or 19 percent lower than at the beginning of the period. Find the value of a European put option on the stock that expires a year from now, and has a strike price of 67 dollars. Assume that no arbitrage opportunities exist, and a risk-free interest rate of 7 percent. Answer = dollars.
The stock price is currently $130. Over each of the next two 2-month periods, it is expected to go up by 3% or down by 4 %. The risk - free interest rate is 1.5% per annum with continuous compounding. What is the value of a 4-month European put option with a strike price of $120? Use a binomial tree model, and round the result to three decimal places. 1. $1.019 2. $2.602 3. $0.029 4. S0.0 5. $6.645

A stock price is currently $50. Over each of the next two three-month periods it is expected to go up by 6% or down by 5%. The risk-free rate is 5% per annum with continuous compounding. What is the value of a six-month European call option with a strike price of $51? (Round your answer to the 4 decimal places) Consider the setting of the previous problem but now find the value of a six-month European put option with a strike price of $51. (Round your answer to the 4 decimal places)
Consider a 2-year European put with a strike price of $52 on a stock whose current stock price is $50. Suppose that there are two time steps, and in each time step the stock price either moves up by 30% or moves down by 30%. Also suppose that risk-free rate is 7% per annum with continuous compounding. What is the value of the European put option?
Suppose that a stock price is currently 35 dollars, and it is known that four months from now, the price will be either 51 dollars or 29 dollars. Find the value of a European call option on the stock that expires four months from now, and has a strike price of 39 dollars. Assume that no arbitrage opportunities exist and a risk-free interest rate of 10 percent.Answer =dollars.
A European call option and put option on a stock both have a strike price of $20 and an expiration date in 4 months. Both sell for $3. The risk-free interest rate is 8.0% per annum, the current stock price is $19, and a $1 dividend is expected in one month. What is the present value of the arbitrage opportunity open to a trader? Enter your answer rounded to two decimal places, skip the $sign. For example, if your calculation results in $98.1234567, you only need to enter 98.12. Type your answer...
There is a European put option on a stock that expires in two months. The stock price is $93 and the standard deviation of the stock returns is 68 percent. The option has a strike price of $101 and the risk-free interest rate is an annual percentage rate of 7 percent. What is the price of the put option today? Use a two-state model with one-month steps. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
A stock price is currently $100. Over each of the next two 3-month periods, it will go up by 10% or down by 10%. The risk-free interest rate is 6% per annum with semiannual compounding. A (a) What is the value of a 6-month European call option with a strike price of $100? Calculate this directly using a two-period binomial tree and the delta-hedging approach.
There is a European put option on a stock that expires in two months. The stock price is $76 and the standard deviation of the stock returns is 58 percent. The option has a strike price of $84 and the risk-free interest rate is an annual percentage rate of 4.8 percent. What is the price of the put option today? Use a two-state model with one- month steps. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) Put value
