Consider a put option on a non-dividend-paying stock when the stock price is $$\$ 40$$, the strike price is $$\$ 42$$, the risk-free interest rate is $2 \%$, the volatility is $25 \%$ per annum, and the time to maturity is three months. Use DerivaGem to determine the following: (a) The price of the option if it is European (use Black-Scholes: European) (b) The price of the option if it is American (use Binomial: American with 100 tree steps) (c) Point B in Figure 11.7.
