Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is false?

• A) In both the Binomial and Black-Scholes Pricing Models, we need to know the risk-neutral probability of each possible future stock price to calculate the option price.
• B) In the real world, investors are risk averse. Thus, the expected return of a typical stock includes a positive risk premium to compensate investors for risk.
• C) Because no assumption on the risk preferences of investors is necessary to calculate the option price using either the Binomial Model or the Black-Scholes formula, the models must work for any set of preferences, including risk-neutral investors.
• D) If all market participants were risk-neutral, then all financial assets (including options) would have the same cost of capital - the risk-free rate of interest.
