20. Call option value= Stock value - PV of the exercise price 5 key variables: 1) Current stock price ( S 0 ) 2) Exercise price of the option (E) 3) Time of expiration (t) 4) Risk free rate ( R f ) 5) Variance of return on stock Options C 0 =S 0 -E/(1+R f ) t

21. You would like to purchase a 1 year call option for RBC stock- the exercise price = $45 per share and the stock price is currently at $70 and the risk free rate =2% and you speculate that the stock will be between $60 and $80 in 1 year. What is the cost of the option? Options

22. . Options t=0 t=1 E= $45 S 0 =70 E=45 R f =2% Both speculated stock prices & t=1 are in the money, therefore: discount E 1 yr C 0 =S 0 -E/(1+R f ) t = 70- (45/1.02) 1 = 25.88 Therefore call option = $25.88 S 0 =70

23. You would like to purchase a 1 year call option for RBC stock- the exercise price = $45 per share and the stock price is currently at $70 The risk free rate =2% and you speculate that the stock will be between $40 and $80 in 1 year. What is the cost of the option? Options

24. Call option calculation S 0 =70, E=45, R f =2% & t=1 therefore: The option can finish out of the $ and be worth 0 at expiration or in the $ and be worth $35 When the stock finishes at $80, our risk-free asset pays $40, leaving us $40 short. Each option is worth $35 in this case, so we need $40/$35 = 1.14options to match the payoff on the stock. Options

25. We must now invest $40 in a risk free asset and in 1.14call options Options

26. Options For this case assume a 50% probability for both outcomes Call option calculation S 0 =70, E=45, R f =2% & t=1 therefore:

47. A trader who believes that a stock's price will increase might buy the right to purchase the stock (a call option ) rather than just purchase the stock itself. He would have no obligation to buy the stock, only the right to do so until the expiration date. If the stock price at expiration is above the exercise price by more than the premium (price) paid, he will profit. If the stock price at expiration is lower than the exercise price, he will let the call contract expire worthless, and only lose the amount of the premium. A trader might buy the option instead of shares, because for the same amount of money, he can control ( leverage ) a much larger number of shares Options
