Following hurricane Katrina, many people were housed in trailers provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency...

Following hurricane Katrina, many people were housed in trailers provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). A potential health concern for individuals living in the trailers is exposure to formaldehyde (due to its use in adhesives). From Sept. 19 to Oct. 7, 2006, air samples were collected from 96 new, unused travel trailers from, at a staging area in Baton Rouge, LA. Only previously unoccupied trailers were tested in order to eliminate any effects from human activities that might cause formaldehyde levels to rise. The units tested had been closed for approximately six weeks before the sampling. The air sampling data was analyzed for FEMA by the Department of Health and Human Services' Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) in Atlanta, GA. The baseline concentration of formaldehyde in the units averaged 1.2 ppmv (parts per million by volume) at the beginning of the test. What was the average formaldehyde concentration within the trailers, expressed in units of g/m3? Assume that the temperature inside the units was 25oC and P = 1 atm. Molecular weight of formaldehyde is 30 g/mole.

6. Answer the following questions based on the following quotation. On October 1, 2007, S&P 500 closed at 1547 where the quotation of CALL options on S&P 500 was as follows. Those contracts expire in October 2007.

Strike Price Open High Low Last Sett
1540 -- -- -- -- 31.70
1600 1.70 3.60 1.70 3.00 3.35

(a) Which option is in the money?

(b) Decompose the value of 1540 call, $31.7, into intrinsic value and time value.

(c) Again using the call with exercise price of 1540, what would be your cash proceeds if you exercise the option on October 1 (index options are settled by cash)? Assume that both dividends and transaction costs are small enough to be ignored. Based on this answer and answer on (b), does it make sense to exercise an American call before expiration? Explain.

(d) Assume that put-call parity holds for these options (it does not exactly hold since the above options are all American). What should be the value of a PUT on S&P 500 with exercise price of 1600? Assume that the annual risk-free rate is 5%.
