3. Consider the N-step binomial asset pricing model with 0 < d<1 A European bear-spread option has payoff where Ki< K2 (a) Assume N- 3, So100, K-85, K2-100, 0.05,10, and d-0.90 Calculate the price at time zero, V, of the bear-spread option. (b) Specify how you can replicate the payoff of the European bear-spread option by investing in the stock and the bank account and verify that a short position in the European bear- spread option...
I. Consider the N-step binomial asset pricing model with 0 < d < 1 + r < u. Assume N = 3, So 100, r = 0.05, u = 1.10, and d 0.90. Calculate the price at time zero of each of the following options using backward induction (a) A European put option expiring at time N 2 with strike price K-100 (b) A European put option expiring at time N 3 with strike price K- 100 (c) A European...

3. Use a one step binomial option pricing model to value a 1 year at the money call option on AT&T. Assume interest rates are 2%. How does your value compare with the market price?
PROBLEM 2. Consider a two-step Binomial model. In Figure 1 you are given an incomplete pricing tree, which corresponds to a European put option with strike price K = 65. (a) (5 Points) Compute the per period interest rate r and the risk-neutral probability p*. (b) (10 Points) Find the price of the put option at t = 0. Moreover, determine the complete binomial tree for the stock price. 2.6545 PE(O) 14.6 17.09 35.06 Figure 1: European put with K...

14. Consider a one period binomial model. The initial stock price is $30. Over the next 3 months, the stock price could either go up to $36 (u = 1.2) or go down to $24 (d = 0.8). The continuously compounded interest rate is 6% per annum. Use this information to answer the remaining questions in this assignment. Consider a call option whose strike price is $32. How many shares should be bought or...
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...
Question 1 - 35 Points Consider a European put option on a non-dividend-paying stock where the stock price is $15, the strike price is $13, the risk-free rate is 3% per annum, the volatility is 30% per annum and the time to maturity is 9 months. Consider a three-step troc. (Hint: dt = 3 months). (a) Compute u and d. (b) Compute the European put price using a three-step binomial tree. (c) If the option in (b) is American instead...

5. Consider the single period binomial model as in Section 1.2.2. Suppose that d <1+r <u. Show that if there exists an arbitrage opportunity (as in Definition 1.5), then one can find an arbitrage opportunity with V = 0. This means that there is no net cash flow at time 0. (Note: This is a step in the proof of Proposition 1.7 which you should go through carefully.) 1.2.2 Formal logical content The theory we build will be a mathematical...
