Exercise 5.16 from ASM Manual

mardi 3 février 2015

This seems simple, but I am struggling to understand how the steps in the solution are developed.



5.16 After one year, a call option may be worth either 0 or 30. The present value of the utility of 1 is .97 in the lower state and .91 in the higher state. Calculate the true annual effective rate of return on the option.



The solution:

The return is 30p, and the price is 30(.91)p, so the rate of return is

(30p)/(30(.91)p) -1
= 1/.91 -1 = .098901.



Specifically, can you please explain what formula is used in the bolded statement, or what logic is being used to achieve the bolded statement?

Thanks
