Consider an employee who receives a call option with forward start three months from today. The options start 10% out-of-the-money, time to maturity is one year from today, the stock price is 60, the risk-free interest rate is 8%, the continuous dividend yield is 4%, and the expected volatility of the stock is 30%. In other words, S = 60,  = 1.1, t = 0.25, T = 1, r = 0.08, b = 0.08-0.04 = 0.04, and  = 0.30.

Build a spreadsheet model to calculate the call price with panels for inputs and panels for the model, similar to the Black-Scholes type analytical models. spreadsheet model. Use interim calculation steps, such as d1, d2, N(d1) and N(d2), before you reach your final valuation of the option. Round up your final result to $0.01.

Please I need step by step in Excel.

Thank you!

5. There are 100 patients who could benefit from a new drug, Tipilor, manufactured by Zifer. Patient i has willingness to pay i, i=1,…,100. Ignore fixed costs and assume marginal cost, c, is constant.

a) What is the profit maximising price and resulting profit?

b) Now assume all patients have insurance which means they only pay 10% of the price as a co-payment. What is the profit maximising price and resulting profit?

c) Zifer sets up a charity to cover the co-payment for poor people. Patients 1, 2, …, 50 are considered poor. What is the profit maximising price and resulting profit?

d) For c = 10, calculate optimal profit in a), b) and c) and conclude whether setting up the charity is profitable.

Briefly describe one of the following kinds of mortgage and 1) identify who might benefit from this kind of mortgage and 2) explain why widespread use of this kind of mortgage might create risks for banks (do not repeat or reproduce information and commentary already presented in the thread; move on to TOPIC TWO if what you want to say about TOPIC ONE has already been adequately explained):
