Consider the following data:

• Price of stock now = P = 825
• Standard deviation of continuously compounded annual returns = = 0.2578
• Years to maturity = t = 0.5
• Interest rate per annum = r_f = 0.5% for 6 months (1% per annum)
• Beta of the stock = 1.65
• Risk-free loan beta = 0

Calculate the risk (beta) of a six-month call option with an exercise price of $675. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) a-3. Does the risk rise or fall as the exercise price is reduced? b-1. Now calculate the risk of a one-year call with an exercise price of $825. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) b-2. Does the risk rise or fall as the maturity of the option lengthens?
