1 ACT370H1S - TEST 2 - MARCH 25, 2009 Write name and student number on each page. Write your solution for each question in the space provided. Do all calculations to at least 6 significant figures. The only aid allowed is a calculator. 1. A 3-period binomial tree is constructed. The continuously compounded risk-free rate < of interest per period is <, and you are given that / œ Þ per period. You are also given that? œ Þ and. œ Þ) for each period. The current stock price is For parts (a), (b) and (c) assume that there is no dividend. 3 (a) A European derivative that expires at the end of 3 periods pays 100 if the stock is at either node 9 or node 10 and pays 0 otherwise. Find the price of the derivative at time 0. 3 (b) It is possible to replicate the payoff at time 3 in part (a) using a combination (some short some long) of European put options expiring at time 3 with strike prices of 1000 and 600. Find the combination. (c) Consider a 3-period American put option with a strike price of The option can be exercised at any node at time 1, 2 or 3. 2 (i) Find the price of the option at time 0. 2 (ii) Find the replicating portfolio at time 0. 2 (iii) Indicate if and where it would be optimal to exercise the option before expiry. 3 (d) Suppose that in part (c) there is a dividend of 100 payable at time 2.5. A 3-period tree is constructed using the prepaid forward price of the stock at time 0 (which is Þ&<!!!!!/ œ *Þ! at time 0), and the pv of the dividend is added back to the value of the stock prior to time 2.5. Find the price of the put option with strike price 1000 and indicate if and where it would be optimal to exercise the option before expiry. BONUS: Continuing part (d) find the maximum value of the dividend at time 2.5 that would 5 result in it being optimal to exercise the option (at some node) at time 2.
2 < 2. A two-period binomial model has / œþ,?œþß.œþ). The stock price at time 0 is 100, so the tree of stock prices is Time A non-standard European derivative expiring at time 2 is defined as follows. The payoff at time 2 is Ð\!Ñ, where \ is the average value of the three stock prices that occurred on the path taken through the tree, so each path will have its own average. 3 (a) Find the (no-arbitrage) value of the derivative at time 0. 2 (b) Find the replicating portfolio = of the derivative at time 0 and at node (c) Verify that the self-financincg strategy is valid from node 100 (starting node) to node 120.
3 3. The cost today to buy one US dollar is $1.30 in Canadian funds. The continuously compounded risk free rate in Canada is 2%. The volatility of the US dollar is 5 œþ!. The risk free rate of interest in the US is 0. The Black-Scholes option pricing formula is used to find the price of a 3-month (.25 year) European Call option to purchase a US dollar at a strike price of $1.25 in Canadian funds. 5 (a) Find the price of the option. (b) Find the following option Greeks `G ` G `G 3 (i) Delta œ (ii) Gamma œ (iii) Vega œ `W `W ` 5
