The risk-free rate is 7% and the options expire in 5 years. The annual standard deviation of CT’s stock is 30%.Please show all calculations.
a) What is the value of a call option on one share of CT stock?
b) What is the value in dollars of Buzz Lightyear’s options?
c) Do these options grant him the right to go to infinity and beyond?
Answer:
e-rt | 0.70 |
Stock Price | 50 |
Exercise price | 50 |
Risk free rate | 0.07 |
time | 5 |
standard deviation | 0.3 |
Ln(S/k) | 0 |
r+(Std. dev)^2/2 | 0.115 |
(r+(Std. dev)^2/2)*t | 0.575 |
Ln(S/k)+(r+(Std. dev)^2/2)*t | 0.575 |
Ln(S/k)+(r+(Std. dev)^2/2)*t/(std. dev^2*Sqrt(t)) | 2.857198 |
N(d1) | 0.997863 |
D2=D1-Std dev*Sqrt(t) | 2.186378 |
N(d2) | 0.985606 |
e-rt*N(d2) | 0.694545 |
N(d1)-e-rt*N(d2) | 0.303318 |
S*(N(d1)-e-rt*N(d2)) | 15.16591 |
Value of Buzz Light year’s option=15.2*10 Million=$152 Million approx
