Question

A stock price is currently S = 100. Over the next year, it is expected to go up by 100% (u = 2) or down by 50% (d = 0.50). The risk-free interest rate is r = 20% per annum with continuous compounding. What is the value of a 12-month European Put option with a strike price K = 100? Select one: a. €22.50 b. €26.25 c. €21.25 d. €25.00 e. €23.75

Step 1

First, we need to find the risk-neutral probability (p). We can use the formula: p = (e^(rΔt) - d) / (u - d) where e is the base of the natural logarithm (approximately 2.718), r is the risk-free interest rate (0.20), Δt is the time period (1 year), u is the up Show more…
