AMZN shares currently sell for 775. The stock pays no dividend. The current risk-free rate is 1.50% compounded continuously.

Optival’s stock is currently trading at $60 per share with a historical volatility of 20%. The risk-free rate is 4%. Consider a European call and put option on Optival’s stock with an exercise price of $55 that expires in 2 years. Use excel or a similar program to determine the option price using the Black-Scholes formula. (a): What is the value the European call and put option on Optival’s stock with a strike price of $60? (b): To the nearest cent, how much does the option value change for the following adjustments to the input values: ∆ in Call Value ∆ in Put Value ↑ stock price by $1 to $61 ↑ strike price by $1 to $56 ↑ the rF by 1% to 5% ↑ volatility by 1% to 21% ↑ time to maturity by 1 yr (c): Why does the value of the call increase by less than $1 when the stock price increases by $1? (d): To the nearest percent and holding all else constant, how high would the risk-free rate need to be for a 1 year increase in time to maturity to have a negative impact on the value of…
The current price of a non-dividend-paying stock is $100. The risk free interest rate is 1% per year with continuous compounding. The implied volatility of a one-year at-the-money European vanilla call option is 0.2. (1). What should be the implied volatility of a one-year at-the-money European vanilla put? (2). Compute the price of the put. Express your result in terms of the standard normal cdf (e.g., if you get N(0.01), just keep N(0.01) in your answer.)
A stock is selling today for $110. The stock has an annual volatility of 64 percent and the annual risk-free rate is 7 percent. a. Calculate the fair price for a 1 year European call option with an exercise price of $95. b. Calculate how much the current stock price would need to change for the purchaser of the call option to break even in one year. c. Calculate the fair price for a 1 year European put option with an exercise price of $95. d. Calculate how much the current stock price would need to change for the purchaser of the put option to break even in one year. e. Calculate the level of volatility that would make a $95 call option sell for $30. (Use Goal Seek or Solver). f. Calculate the level of volatility that would make a $95 put option sell for $8.

The price of a non-dividend-paying stock is $50 and the price of a 4-month European call option on the stock with a strike price of $50 is $3. The risk-free rate is 4% per annum. The price of the corresponding 4-month European put option with same strike price is $2. Establish which of the following options is true. O I. None of the above. O II. There are arbitrage opportunities because the put-call parity relation does not hold. The arbitrage opportunity is given by selling short the put option and the stock and buying the call option. The proceeds of this strategy are invested at the risk-free rate until the expiration date. O II There are no arbitrage opportunities as the put-call parity relation holds. O IV. There are arbitrage opportunities because the put-call parity relation does not hold. The arbitrage opportunity is given by selling short the call option and borrowing money from the bank at the risk-free rate to buy the stock and put option.

Zinc Company is currently trading for $30 per share. The stock pays no dividends. You are interested in valuing a one-year at-the-money European put option on Zinc stock. Assume that the volatility of Zinc stock is 40% per year and its beta is 0.95. The risk-free interest rate is 6%. (a) What is the intrinsic value of the put option? What is the time value of the put option? Interpret these two values. (b) You would like to replicate this put option using a portfolio of stocks and bonds. What portfolio would you hold? (c) What is the leverage ratio of the put option? What is the beta of the put option? Based on your answers, discuss why investors may want to include put options in their portfolios.

A stock has a current price of $67. An option on this stock that expires in six months has an exercise price of $65. The stock will pay a dividend of $5 in three months. Assume an annualized volatility of 30% and a continuously compounded risk - free rate of 5% per annum. Use the Black - Sholes - Merton model to price this option. 1) Suppose the option is a European put. Calculate the value of the put. 2) Suppose this option is an American call. Use Black's approximation to calculate the value of this call.
