问题如下:
The Black model valuation and selected outputs for options on another of Solomon’s holdings, the GPX 500 Index (GPX), are shown in Exhibit 2. The spot index level for the GPX is 187.95, and the index is assumed to pay a continuous dividend at a rate of 2.2% (5) over the life of the options being valued, which expire in 0.36 years. A futures contract on the GPX also expiring in 0.36 years is currently priced at 186.73.
What are the correct spot value (S) and the
risk-free rate (r) that Lee should use as inputs for the Black model?
选项:
A.186.73 and 0.39%, respectively
186.73 and 2.20%, respectively
187.95 and 2.20%, respectively
解释:
Black’s model to value a call option on a
futures contract is c = e-rT[F0(T)N(d1) - XN(d2)]. The underlying F0 is the futures price (186.73). The correct discount
rate is the risk-free rate, r = 0.39%.
有S0为什么不能直接用S0,而需要用F0来折现
