Question

Stock Z is trading at $50 today. In one year, the value will go either up to $62.50 or down to $40. A call option on Z with exactly one year to expiration has a strike price of $55. Inflation is high, so the interest rate is 10% per year. Find the delta of the call option using binomial approach. a. 0.25 b. 0.67 c. 1.05 d. 0.33

Answer 1

0.33

Step-by-step explanation:

Delta = (Cu – Cd)/(Su – Sd)Cu

= 62.50 – 55 = 7.50

Cd = 0

Delta = (7.50 – 0)/(62.50 – 40)

= 0.33
