问题如下:
Suppose the strike price of a one-year call option is CAD100, the risk free rate is 2%. At time 0, the underlying asset, S0, trades at CAD98, now six months have passed, the underlying asset, St, trades at CAD102. Which of the following calculations of the upper and lower bounds of the call option is correct?
选项:
A.The upper bound of the call option is CAD102; the lower bound of the call option is 0.
The upper bound of the call option is CAD102; the lower bound of the call option is CAD2.9852.
The upper bound of the call option is CAD2.9852; the lower bound of the call option is 0.
解释:
ct,Lower
bound = Max(0, St − X(1 + r)−(T−t)) = Max (0, 102 – 100(1+2%)-0.5)
= CAD2.9852
ct,Upper
bound = St = CAD102.
请问一下这里的r是一整年的,为什么不用除以2呢?
