A share price is modelled via a two-period binomial model with initial stock price S=40, up/down multiplication factors u = per time period r = 4%. and d = and interest rate Explain Does this model satisfy the no-arbitrage assumption? Write 0 if your answer is 'no' and 1 if your answer is 'yes'. Answer: your argument in your hand-written answer (b) Calculate the risk-neutral probabilities of up and down movements in the share price. State your answer to three valid digits. Answer: P = Pd= (c) to three valid digits. Answer: Determine the no-arbitrage price of a European call option on the share with strike price K = 70 and expiry time T = 2. State your answer Explain your calculation steps in your hand-written answer.
1. Consider a one period binomial model. Suppose So = 1 att = To; and Su = 2 and Sd = ½ at time T₁. If we assume the risk free rate R is 1.2, compute the current value of a European put with strike K = 1. Please round your answer to 2 decimals. Enter answer here 2.
