Pаy-lаter оptiоns аre оptions for which the buyer is not required to pay the premium up front (i.e., the buyer pays 0 at the time of purchasing the pay-later option with the understanding that premium will be paid at maturity if the option is exercised then). At expiration, the holder of a pay-later Call option must exercise the option if the stock price is greater than the strike price, in which case he/she receives the payoff of the option and pays the option premium which was set at time 0. Otherwise the option is left un-exercised and no premium is paid. The stock of the CCC Corporation is currently valued at $11. It has an expected annual rate of return of 12%, an annualized volatility of 30%, and the annual risk-free rate is 3%. 1. (10 points) Using a binomial lattice, determine the price of a pay-later Call option on CCC stock maturing in 3 weeks time with a strike price of $10. (Let the time period length between nodes on your tree be 1 week.) 2. (10 points) For the pay-later call option value lattice, calculate the replicating portfolio for each node at time 0, 1 and 2. 3. (10 points) Does the Put-Call parity relationship for the European Call and Put options hold for the premiums of the pay-later Call and pay-later Put options? If yes, why? If not, why not and what is the relationship between the premiums of a pay-later call and a pay-later put with identical maturity and strike price?
Gаvin plаns tо аttend an MBA prоgram оne year from now to prepare for a career change. The tuitions are expected to be $40000, $42000, $44100, paid at one year from now, two years from now, and three years from now, respectively. The yearly spot rates sequence is: 0.01, 0.016, 0.036, 0.05, 0.052, 0.06 for the next 6 years. Suppose the spot rates are inferred from the corresponding six zero-coupon bonds with maturity spanning from 1 year to 6 years which are traded in the markets assuming continuous-compounding. 1. (5 points) What is the market price of a 2-year maturity zero coupon bond? 2. (6 points) If a 4-year coupon bond with coupon rate of 4% and face value of $100 traded in the market for $105, is there any arbitrage opportunity? If no, why? If yes, how would Gavin capture this arbitrage opportunity? Coupons are paid annually at the end of each year. 3. (6 points) Assuming all 6 zero-coupon bonds can be freely traded now and in the future. The spot rates will remain at their current levels. What is the best bond portfolio formed by these zero-coupon bonds to hold by Gavin to fully cover his tuition liability for the MBA program? 4. (8 points) Given the current low interest rate environment, there is a high likelihood that the spot rates could rise by 0.5% across all maturities simultaneously. What is the best bond portfolio to hold accounting for this likely interest rate hike scenario?
Fаrmer Jоhnsоn hаs а crоp of grapefruit that will be ready for harvest and sale as 150,000 pounds of grapefruit juice in 3 months. He decides to implement a hedging strategy to hedge against possible price changes of grapefruit juice at the selling time. There is no futures contract for grapefruit juice, but there is a futures contract for orange juice. Currently the spot prices are $1.20 per pound for orange juice and $1.50 per pound for grapefruit juice. The standard deviation of the prices of orange juice and grapefruit juice price are about 18% per year and 20% per year, respectively. The correlation coefficient between the two prices is 0.75. 1. (5 points) Explain what a minimum-variance hedging strategy is. 2. (10 points) What is the minimum-variance hedge strategy for Farmer Johnson? How effective is this hedge as compared to no hedge (Hint: use two hypothetical price scenarios of grapefruit 3 months later to compare the cashflow with hedge vs. without hedge.)?
