Question:

7. In this problem you will price various options with payoffs based on the Eurostoxx index and the dollar/euro exchange rate. Assume thatQ= 2750 (the index), x = 1.25

($/=C), s = 0.08 (the exchange rate volatility), σ = 0.2 (index volatility), r = 0.01(the U.S. risk-free rate), rf

= 0.03 (the euro-denominated risk-free rate), δQ

= 0.02 (the dividend yield on the index), ρ = 0.25 (the index exchange rate correlation), and T = 1. Verify the following prices (all are in dollars):

a. Equity index call denominated in euros: max(QT

− K, 0), K = 2500

($457.775)

b. Foreign equity call struck in domestic currency: max(xTQT

− Kd, 0), Kd

=

$3200 ($414.574)

c. Fixed exchange rate foreign equity call: ¯x max(QT

− K, 0); ¯x = 1.25, K =

2500 ($456.988)

d. Equity-linked foreign exchange call: max(xTQT

− KQT , 0), K = $1.20

($152.561)
