6. Black-Scholes model: Use the Black-Scholes formula to value the following options: a. A call option written on a stock selling for $60 per share with a $60 exercise price. The stock's standard deviation is 6% per month. The option matures in three months. The risk-free interest rate is 1% per month. b. A put option written on the same stock at the same time, with the same exercise price and expiration date. Now, for each of these options, find the combination of stock and risk-free asset that would replicate the option.

In Simpleland, there are only two risky assets in the market: Stock and Bond. The information and CAPM estimates of A and B are shown in the following table: Market Capitalisation (S) Variance Correlation of A and B Expected Return 100 Trillion 300 Trillion 0.05 0.01 20.96 Risk-free rate: 0.26 The manager believes that in the near future, B will outperform A by 10% with uncertainty measured in variance code. He has also assigned the error of estimating the above CAPM model in terms of variance to be 0.01, i.e. ĂŹĆ’^2 = 0.01. What is the average risk aversion index of the market?
