(A)
To calculate:
The future price of the brandex stock.
Introduction:
Future price refers to the price pertaining to which two parties transact the commodity at a predetermined price at a specific date in the future. It represents the price of commodity or stock on future contract in comparison to the current or spot price.
(B)
To calculate:
The change in the future price of the brandex stock and the margin account of the investor.
Introduction:
Margin in the trading account refers to the minimum amount of money, which the investor is required to maintain in his account in the form of margin for placing a trade order.
(C)
To calculate:
Percentage return on the position held by the investor.
Introduction:
Rate of return refers to the ratio of loss or profit ascertained in the financial year with respect to the investment which is generally expressed in percentage of decrease or increase in the investment's value during the given period of time.

- Assume a security follows a geometric Brownian motion with volatility parameter = 0.2. Assume the initial price of the security is 21 and the interest rate is 0. It is known that the price of a down-and-in barrier option and a down-and-out barrier option with strike price 19 and expiration 30 days have equal risk-neutral prices. Compute this common risk-neutral price.arrow_forward1. An option is trading at $5.26, has a delta of .52, and a gamma of .11. what would the delta of the option be if the underlying increases by $.75? What would the delta of the option be if the underlying decreases by $1.05? Explain.arrow_forwardYou write a put option with X = 100 and buy a put with X = 110. The puts are on the same stock and have the same expiration date.a. Draw the payoff graph for this strategy.b. Draw the profit graph for this strategy.c. If the underlying stock has positive beta, does this portfolio have positive or negative beta?arrow_forward
- The value of an option is $3.16, its vega is 0.7. What will be the expected price of the option if the volatility of the underlying stock increases by $0.8?arrow_forwardAn option is trading at $3.45. If it has a delta of .78, what would the price of the option be if the underlying increases by $.75? A. What would the price of the option be if the underlying decreases by $.55? B. What makes this a call option? C. With a delta of .78, is this option ITM, ATM or OTM and how?arrow_forwardWith all other variables being equal (the same excerise price, underlying asset, implied volatility, interest rate, etc.), an at-the-money option with 30 days to expiration will tpyically have a gamma that is higher than an at-the-moeny option with 180 days to expiration (hint: think of the different shapes of the associated probability distribution and the change in delta) True or False?arrow_forward
- Assume a security follows a geometric Brownian motion with volatility parameter sigma=0.2. Assume the initial price of the security is $25 and the interest rate is 0. It is known that the price of a down-and-in barrier option and a down-and-out barrier option with strike price $22 and expiration 30 days have equal risk-neutral prices. Compute this common risk-neutral price. I was able to do this problem, but have a question about the interpretation of my answer. I got an answer of $3.00 for the cost of the call option, but how do I answer "compute this common risk-neutral price"? Do I have to divide the answer my 2 for each of the barrier options and say the answer is $1.50? Or because of the fact that it says common does that mean to take the combined value of $1.50+$1.50 to get $3.00 as the answer? I'm just not sure if my answer to the question is $3.00 or $1.50. Does it all depend on the word "common"? Thanks for some clarification.arrow_forwardIf the stock price is 44, the exercise price is 40, the put price is 1.54, and the Black-Scholes price using .28 as the volatility is 1.11, the implied volatility will be. Explain how? A. higher than .28 B. lower than .28 C. .28 D. lower than the risk-free rate E. none of the abovearrow_forwardYou are evaluating a put option based on the following information: P = Ke-H•N(-d,) – S-N(-d,) Stock price, So Exercise price, k = RM 11 = RM 10 = 0.10 Maturity, T= 90 days = 0.25 Standard deviation, o = 0.5 Interest rate, r Calculate the fair value of the put based on Black-Scholes pricing model. Cumulative normal distribution table is provided at the back.arrow_forward
- Assume a security follows a geometric Brownian motion with volatility parameter sigma=0.2. Assume the initial price of the security is $25 and the interest rate is 0. It is known that the price of a down-and-in barrier option and a down-and-out barrier option with strike price $22 and expiration 30 days have equal risk-neutral prices. Compute this common risk-neutral price. (I attempted this problem and got a final answer of $1.50. Not sure if that is right.)arrow_forwardIn a binomial model, a call option and a put option are both written on the same stock. The exercise price of the call option is 30 and the exercise price of the put option is 40. The call option’s payoffs are 0 and 5 and the put option’s payoffs are 20 and 5. The price of the call is 2.25 and the price of the put is 12.25. a. What is the riskless interest rate? Assume that the basic period is one year. b. What is the price of the stock today?arrow_forwardSuppose the CAPM holds. You know that the average investor has a degree risk aversion of 3.3. The current risk free rate is 0.012, the inflation is estimated 0.017, and the volatility of the market is 0.17. What is the market risk premium? [*.000]arrow_forward
