A stock price is currently $100. In any year, the price can increase by a factor of 1.10, or fall by a factor of 0.90. The stock pays no dividends. The risk-free rate is 5%.

Step 1
The stock can either increase by a factor of 1.10 or decrease by a factor of 0.90. - If the stock price increases: \[ \text{New Price} = 100 \times 1.10 = 110 \] - If the stock price decreases: \[ \text{New Price} = 100 \times 0.90 = 90 \] Show more…

The risk-free interest rate is 5%. There is a stock with a 50% probability that its price in the next period will be 1.1, and a 50% probability that its price in the next period will be 1. No dividends will be paid. What is a reasonable price for the stock in the current period? $ 0.9 $ 1 $ 1.2 $ 1.1

A stock price is currently 100. Assume that the expected return from the stock is 15% and that its variance is 20%. The risk-free interest rate is 10% per annum. What is the probability distribution for the stock price over a one-year period? Determine 95% confidence intervals.

Stock A is currently traded at $100. In the first year the stock price can either go up by 20% or drop by 20%; in the second year the stock price can either go up by 10% or drop by 10%. Your manager asks you to price a European call option with a strike price of $85 and a maturity of two years from now. The YTM of a one-year zero Treasury bond is 2% and the forward rate from year one to year two is 3%. Suppose the discount rate you use is 5% for the second period, what is the risk neutral probability for stock price to decrease by 10% in the second period?
