Q

Calculate the call option using PV of the portfolio and current value.

A

value of hedged portfolio = hedged ratio * underlying price increase - value of option increase

Hedged raio * current price - call option = value of hedged portfolio / interest rate

Solve call option

Q

Calculate the risk netural probability of a 2 steps binomial model.

A

risk netural probability of up = ( 1 + risk free rate - down ) / (up - down)

up and down is the change in price.
eg up = 1.2 and down = 0.9

Q

Calculate the put-call parity.

and also under continuously componded basis.

A

Call option price + Strike price / (1 + r) ^T = put option price + spot price

Fiduciary call = Protective put

under the continuously componded basis the (1+r)^T becomes
e ^ (r * T)

Q

Define swaps and interest rate swaps.

A

Swaps can be replicated by series of forward contracts (FRAs)
Swaps are equivalent to a set of options.

An interest rate swap is the same as buying a series of calls and selling a series of puts, with the exercise rate same as fixed rate on the swap.

Q

Caculate the (interest rate) swap price of the contract using present value factor.

A

Equivalent to sell fixed bond and buy floating rate bond.

Price of (interest rate) swap = 1 - Last discount factor / Sum of discount factors

Then annualized the Price
Price of swap annualized = price of swap * 360 / payment days

eg if quarterly payment: payment days = 90 days = multiple by 4.

where discounts factors = Present value factor

Q

How to convert a floating rate payment into present value factor?

eg floating rate payment of 7% in 180 days using (30/360). What is the present value factor?

A

Present value factor = 1 / (1 + float rate * days / 360)

= 1 / (1 + 0.07 * 170 / 360)
= 0.9662

Q

Calculate the forward price and value of equity forward.

A

Forward price = Spot price + Net costs of carry

Forward price = Spot price at start * (1 + r)^T - FV(CF)

FV(CF) = Future value of coupon payments

Vt =PVt * (Ft -F0)

Q

Calculate the forward price and value of equity index forwards.

A

Forward price = Spot price * e ^ [(interest rate + cost of carry - Dividend yield) *months in contract / 12]

Vt = (Ft - F0) /(e^ [r*(T-t)]ost

Q

Calculate the future contract price for fixed income.

A

Future contract price = 1/ Conversion factor * [(Bond price at start + Accured interest at start - PV(All coupon interest) * (1 + interest rate) ^ (month /12) ) - Accured interest at terminal]
