Question

3. Consider a European put option where the stock price is 28, the strike price is $30, and the risk free rate is 5% per annum. (a) (18 points) If the life of the option is 6 months, and there are two time steps (3 months each), what is the value of the put if the volatility is 35%? (b) (12 points) What is the value of the put if it is an American option and has a dividend yield of 2.8% per annum? (Note: the only effect the dividend has is on calculating the value of p, it is not used for discounting purposes).

Step 1

We can use the risk-neutral probability formula: \[ p = \frac{e^{(r - q) \Delta t} - d}{u - d} \] Where: r = risk-free rate = 5% per annum = 0.05 q = dividend yield = 2.8% per annum = 0.028 Δt = time step = 3 months = 0.25 years u = e^(σ√Δt) = e^(0.35*√0.25) d = Show more…
