STAT  473.  Homework  6  Solutions.    Spring  2015.    Problem  1.  (i)  

 (ii)  

 (iii)      We  expect  that  the  premium  of  the  call  will  increase  0.36  dollars  if  the  stock  price  increases  50  cents.  Similarly,  we  will  expect  that  the  premium  of  the  option  will  increase  by  7.8582%  if  the  stock  price  increases  by  2%.    (iv)    

 (v)    

 (vi)

 (vii)  

   (viii)  The  Sharpe  ratio  of  the  call  coincides  with  the  Sharpe  ration  of  the  stock,  which  is  then  given  by  (alpha-­‐r)/sigma=(0.1-­‐0.08)/0.3=0.066.            Problem  2.  The  idea  is  to  use  the  fundamental  formula:  γ − r =Ω α − r( )  We  know  gamma  from  (vi).  The  Key  formula  to  use  here  to  find  α  is    ST = S0e

σ TZ+(α−δ−σ 2 /2)T  Then,  in  the  Black-­‐Scholes  Framework,  the  instantaneous  rate  of  return  

ln(S1 /S0)  is  Normal  distributed  with  mean   α − δ − σ

2/ 2  and  variance  

σ2.  

Thus,  

σ2

= 0.14  and   α − δ − σ2/ 2 = 0.09 ,  from  which  we  obtained  that   α = 0.19 .  

Now,  to  find  the  elasticity,  we  first  use  that  the  replicating  portfolio  is  0.4,  which  coincides  with  the  Delta.  Then,  Ω = SΔ / P = 50(−0.4) / 5= −4  Therefore,  −0.62− r = (−4) −.19− r( ) ,  from  which  we  can  find  easily  r.
