Question - Use the two-state binomial option-pricing model with continuous compounding for the following questions: S0 = $100; X = $120; rf = 5.5%
The stock price will either increase to $150 (u=1.5) or decrease to $80 (d=0.8).
a) What are the call option values (Cu & Cd) across the two states?
b) What is the delta (i.e., hedge ratio) for the call?
c) What is the probability (Pru) that the underlying stock price will experience the ‘uâ€TM state?
d) Value the call using the risk-free approach.
e) Value the call using the risk-neutral approach.
f) Given the value of the call calculated above, what is the value of a put option, according to Put-Call Parity, with the same strike price and maturity date?
g) What are the put option values (Pu & Pd) across the two states?
h) What is the delta (i.e., hedge ratio) for the put?
i) What is the probability (Pru) that the underlying stock price will experience the ‘uâ€TM state? (Same as above)
j) Value the put using the risk-free approach.
k) Value the put using the risk neutral approach.
