For a short position with every share of Call, how many shares of stocks should you buy to form a risk-free portfolio? (4 points) d. What is the value of the call? (6 points)

Explanation / Answer

a)

Up price = 80*(1+10%) = 88

Call = 88 - 80 = 8

b)

Down price = 80*(1-8%) = 73.6

Call = 0

c)

hedge ratio = (8 - 0) / (88 - 73.6) = 0.56

d)

Call = 0.56*80 + (-0.56*88 + 8)/(1+4%) = 5.1282
