As the assigned value is zero, if St < K. There is no probability that it shall be excericed.

A stock that does not pay dividend is trading at $50. A European call option with strike price of $60 and maturing in one year is trading at $10. An American call option with strike price of $60 and maturing in one year is trading at $15. You can borrow or lend money at any time at risk-free rate of 5% per annum with continuous compounding. Devise an arbitrage strategy. So I know that usually american calls are never exercised...
2. An American put option can be exercised: a. b. c. d. e. At any time on or before the expiration date. Only on the expiration date. Any time in the indefinite future. Only after the dividend has been paid. None of the above. 3. A European call option can be exercised: a. Any time in the future. b. Only on the expiration date. c. If the price of the underlying asset declines below the exercise price. d. Immediately after...
QUESTION 1 (5 points) You own a European call option and an American Call option, each on one share of Smart `R' Us, and each with an exercise price of $80. The current share price is $120 and it is an instant before Smart `R' Us pays dividends by an amount of $10. An instant after the ex-dividend date, the share price would fall to $110, and the two options would have one period until expiration. By expiration date the...
1. (Put-call parity) A stock currently costs So per share. In each time period, the value of the stock will either increase or decrease by u and d respectively, and the risk-free interest rate is r. Let Sn be the price of the stock at t n, for O < n < V, and consider three derivatives which expire at t- N, a call option Vall-(SN-K)+, a put option Vpul-(K-Sy)+, ad a forward contract Fv -SN -K (a) The forward...

3. (10 pts) For each k e [0, 1,2,..., 301 the symbol S(k) denotes the price of the stock at time k. A European call option with strike 90 and expiration n- 30 costs 15. A European put option with strike 100 and expiration 30 costs 11. Both options have the same stock as their underlying security. What is the price of the security whose payoff structure is 7S (30) 630, if S(30) 100, S(30)-30, if 90 S(30) S 100,...
please draw a one step binomial tree to price a European call option with the following parameters: the time t =1 refers to one year Inputs: s = 50, k = 50, t = 1, v = 0.5, r = 0.05, y = 0, n = 1 Please Show all the steps in how to arrive at the answer

At time t=0 a firm has a project which costs $160 today and will yield $200 at time t=2 with probability 1/2 and $100 at time t=2 with probability 1/2. At time t=1 the firm learns what the payoff will be from the original project (i.e., whether the payoff will be $200 or $100) and, assuming they invested at t=0, the firm can choose to fund a follow-up project at time t=1 where the follow-up project requires spending an additional...
