Answer:

b) The company will incur a loss

Explanation:

The market rate at the time of issue = 9%, while coupon rate = 8%, it says bonds provide lesser return when compared to the market rate.  

At end of year 2 market rate drops to 6% which is lower than the Bond's coupon rate. Which means the bond's providing high return when compared to the market. So, company to retire the bonds need to pay more than the par value.

As company should retire these bonds more than par value, the company incur a loss.

Option 'B is correct

The company incur a loss

You are attempting to value a call option with an exercise price of $100 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays n
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

$13.64

Explanation:

Given:

Exercise price,X = $100

Current price = $100

Value when price is up, uS = $120

Value when price is down, dS= $80

Risk free interest rate = 10%

First calculate hedge ratio, H:

H = \frac{C_u - C_d}{uS - dS}

Where,

Cu = uS - X

= 120 - 100

= $20

H = \frac{20 - 0}{120 - 80} = \ftac{1}{2}

A risk free portfolio involves one share and two call options.

Find cost of portfolio:

Cost of portfolio = Cost of stock - Cost of the two cells.

= $100 - 2C

This portfolio is risk free. The table below shows that

_______________

Portforlio 1:

Buy 1 share $80; Write 2 calls: $0; Total: ($80 + 0) $80

____________________

Portforlio 2:

Buy 1 share: $120; Write 2 calls: -$40; Total: ($120 - $40) $80

Check for oresent value of the portfolio:

Present value = \frac{80}{1 + 0.10} = 72.73

Value = exercise price - value of option

$72.73 = $100 - 2C

Find call option, C

C = \frac{100 - 72.73}{2} = 13.64

Call option's value = $13.64
