The price of a European put that expires in six months and has a strike price of $100 is $3.59. The underlying stock price is $102, and a dividend of $1.50 is expected in four months. The term structure is flat, with all risk-free interest rates being 8% (cont. comp.).
What is the price of a European call option on the same stock that expires in six months and has a strike price of $100?

Problem 2: Option Valuation (18 marks)
In this question, you need to price options with various approaches. You will consider puts and calls on a share. Please read following instructions carefully:
The spot price of this share will be determined by your student number. You need to use the last digit of your student number. The spot price of the share will be (last digit of your student number*10+6). For example, if the last digit of your student number is 5, the spot share price will be 5*10+6=56. If the last digit of your student number is 0, please replace it with 4, i.e. the spot price will be 4*10+6=46.
The strike price of the options will be the share price you just calculated +2. For example, if the share price you calculated based on your student number is 56, the strike price of the options will be (56+2)=58.
Based on this spot price and this strike price as well as the fact that the risk-free interest rate is 6% per annum with continuous compounding, please undertake option valuations and answer related questions according to following instructions:
Binomial trees:
Additionally, assume that over each of the next two four-month periods, the share price is expected to go up by 11% or down by 10%.
Use a two-step binomial tree to calculate the value of an eight-month European call option using the no-arbitrage approach.

2.4.2 Assessment 2 (Group and Individual) -30%: Part A — Group Presentation (10%) & Written Analysis of a case study on Organisational Behaviour (Individual) 20% Presentation on Tuesday, 29th September; Written Analysis on 9 October.
Students should critically analyse a case study of organisational behaviour in a real-world business scenario. A case study analysis requires students to investigate an organisational behaviour problem/s, examine the case issues/situation and analyse alternative solutions, and propose the most effective solution using supporting evidence. Students are requested to consult with the lecturer about your choice of case study.
A case study analysis requires student to: 1. Identify at least four key problems/issues in relation to organisational behavior 2. Discus why these issues exist and who is/are responsible for them 3. Analyse how they impact the organization 4. Provide specific and realistic solution(s) or changes needed. 5. Explain why these solutions are chosen 6. Support this solution and recommendations with solid evidence, 7. Students should use the knowledge including appropriate theatrical frameworks, and concepts learned from textbook, readings, discussions, and lectures. Include evidence of the research you have done for your analysis and discussion and acknowledge all source of information (Citations and list of references in APA style).
