Using the BSM model, estimate value of a 3-month call option and 3-month put option on a share of ETF if:

an exercise price, X: $250

sport price, S0: 260

the annual risk-free rate is 5 %

historical standard deviation of share’s returns: 12%.

Implied standard deviation: 13.5%

Please show how you calculated the following parameters: d1, d2, N(d1). N(d2), N(-d1), N(-d2)

PROBLEM №5

A Japanese importer is planning to pay 1.2 mln British pounds for goods to be received. The current exchange rate is 1 GBP = 139.577 JPY or 1 JPY = 0.00716451 GBP

Please indicate what strategy with a use of options should be followed by a Japanese importer in order to have a protection against an adverse movement in the exchange rate.

In your analysis, you need to indicate what are the base and pricing currency.

For a chosen by you strike price (you need to justify the strike selected), estimate value of an option (type of an option, call of put, should be selected by you and justified), given that:

The annualized UK risk-free rate is r= 3.5 %, and the Japanese rate is r= 4%.

The time to expiration (T) is 0.25 years,

Historical volatility of the exchange rate σ=10%

Implied l volatility of the exchange rate σ=8.5%

PROBLEM №6

90-day Labor: 2.7

180-day Libor: 2.9

In 180 days:

90-day Labor: 2.8

180-day Libor: 2.95

270 day Libor: 3.05%
