Reconsider the determination of the hedge ratio in the two-state model where we showed that one-third share of stock would hedge one option. The possible end-of-year stock prices, uS0 = $135 (up state) and dS0 = $100 (down state).
Required:
What would be the call option hedge ratio for each of the following exercise prices: $135, $122, $111, $100, given the possible end-of-year stock prices, uS0 = $135 (up state) and dS0 = $100 (down state)?
What do you conclude about the hedge ratio as the option becomes progressively more in the money?
