I have a homework due 2 weeks from today. This is a finance homework.

We could use either matlab, or excel, or solving by hands. However, personally, I do prefer to solve with excel.

If you could solve these with matlab, please attach codes for me that I could go over myself.

I think that I know how to do number 1, but just in case I want to compare the answers.

Thank you very much.

Homework 5 EBF 473 Spring 2016 Due in class, Thursday April 14 (one class period later than stated in the syllabus) 1) (2.5 pts) On April 22 2011, at market close, the price of BP (symbol BP) was 40.50. The prices of various call options with expiration on July 22 2015 is set out below. Given this, derive the smile for BP. Assume the annual interest rate is 8.0%. Strike Price $27.50 $30.00 $32.00 $35.00 $38.00 $40.00 $42.00 $45.00 $48.00 $50.00 $52.50 $55.00 $57.50 Price $14.17 $11.26 $9.30 $6.50 $4.00 $2.50 $1.61 $0.67 $0.27 $0.14 $0.10 $0.05 $0.06 2) (5 pts) Ceres Monopole Extraction (CME) stock sells for $77 a share.

You are short 1000 put options on TASF with a strike price of 75. To hedge you position, you can buy or sell TSAF stock, or put options on TSAF at the money. Given all this: A: Derive the position you will take if you want to delta hedge your position. B: Derive the position you will take if you want to delta-gamma hedge your position. C: Given your answers in A and B, graph (on the same graph) the net gain or loss in your positions if the price of TASF jumps to X, X a number between 1 and 200.
