es
You are in discussions to purchase an option on an office building with a strike price
of $56 million. The building is currently valued at $52 million. The option will allow you
to purchase the building either six months from today or one year from today. Six
months from today, accrued rent payments from the building in the amount of
$970,000 will be made to the owners. If you exercise the option in six months, you will
receive the accrued rent payment; otherwise, the payment will be made to the current
owners. A second accrued rent payment of $970,000 will be paid one year from
today with the same payment terms. The standard deviation of the value of the
building is 45 percent and the risk-free rate is an annual percentage rate of 4.8
percent. What is the price of the option today using a two-state model with six-month
steps? (Hint: The value of the building in six months will be reduced by the accrued
rent payment if you do not exercise the option at that time.) (Do not round
intermediate calculations and enter your answer in dollars, not millions of dollars,
rounded to the nearest whole number, e.g., 1,234,567.)
