Answer:

Explanation:

The Risk neutral probability is given by

e rt − D / U-D

U=1.1

D=0.9

R=0.12

T=3/12

π u = e∧ 0.12 ∗ 3 / 12 − 0.9 /1.1 − 0.9

 =0.652

π d = 1− 0.652 = 0.348

The values of american and european options at each node is given in the following table.

                                    0.652  

                                                                                                    0  

                                                                0.81   48.4  

                                                                0.652    

                                                                0.81    

American option value     2.54         44    

probability                    0.652/0.3478'  

Option value                     2.12        2.4  

Futures price                        40           6      39.6  

                                                               0.3478    

                                                               4.76    

                                                                  36    

                                                                                           0.3478  

                                                                                           9.6  

                                                                                          32.4  

Time period                         0      3           6

the value at up node at 3 months is given by = ( 0.652∗ 0 ) + ( 0.3478 ∗ 2.4 )/e ∧0.12 ∗ 3 / 12 = 0.81

Hence, value of european put option =$2.12

Value of American put option = 2.54

maxonik [38]

Answer:

The price of stock today is $118.22

Explanation:

To calculate the price today, we will use the dividend growth model and discount back the cashflows. The first dividend will be received in year 16 so $15 received in year 16 will be dicounted back to year zero at 8% cost. Besides after that the growth rate becomes constant so the terminal value will be calculated at the end of year 16 and will be discounted back to year zero also using same 8% discount rate and 16 year as power.

P0 = 15 / (1+0.08)^16 + [15*(1+0.04) / 0.08-0.04] / (1+0.08)^16

P0 = $118.22
