Astock is currently priced at $52.50 a share. one year from now, the stock price is expected to be either $54 or $60 a share. the risk-free rate of return is 4 percent. what is the value of a 1-year call option with an exercise price of $55

Value of 1-Year option=$0.48

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the present value of share being priced at $54 after one year,which shall be calculated as follow:

Present value of share=54(1+4%)^-1

                                     =$51.92

Now we have to calculate the number of options which will be required to exercise for one share:

Number of options=(60-54)/(5-0)=1.2

Finally, we have to calculate the value of 1-year call options which shall be calculated as follow:

Current price of share=Number of options required for one share*Value of 1-year option+Present value of share

52.50=1.2*value of 1-Year option+51.92

1.2*value of 1-Year option=0.58

Value of 1-Year option=$0.48

you will have $9321.91 in 20 years if you set aside $2000 at 8%

you will have $1469.32 in 5 years if you set aside $1000 at 8%

you will have $1296.87 in 10 years if you set aside $500 at 10%

you will have $239.66 in 15 years if you set aside $100 at 6%

you will have $4660.96 in 20 years if you set aside $1000 at 8%
