Calculation of Probability of Increase in Stock Price of a company
Question
Today (time t = 0) the stock price of company XYZ is S = 70. In 6 months (time t = 0:5) it changes (under the true probability measure P) with probability of 70% to S(u)0.5 = 90 and with probability 30% to S(d)0.5 = 60. From time t = 0:5 to time t = 1 the stock price may increase by 30% with a probability of 50% or decrease by 20% with a probability of 50%. The risk free interest rate is constant and equal to 5% (c.c.).

(b) Use replicating portfolios to calculate the price of a European at-the-money call option with 1 year left to maturity.
(c) What is the price of an American at-the-money call option with 1 year left to maturity?
(d) Suppose you own 10 stocks of company XYZ. At time t = 0, how many long or short positions do you have to take in European at-the-money call options with 1 year to maturity if you like to hedge your entire exposure to stock price fluctuations?

I needed help with my assignment pertaining to cirrhosis of liver and was unable to find any decent help online. Then when I searched and searched, I landed at HwA and was astonished to find that they have a specific hepatic system unit of nursing experts. Was thrilled to find help here and got good grade in that assignment.

The course structure in the US is totally different from what I was used to. I was feeling totally bogged down with all the course load and numerous assignments of the different subjects. Thank god for TheReliableTutor and their brilliant Labor Economics Assignment experts I did not need to worry about the assignment once I submitted it to them.

Bridget Kiernan Student
I used to always avoid metallurgy and concentrated in other sections of chemical engineering. However, a miracle happened 2 years ago. As I was stuck with my mechanical properties assignment, I came across HwA. Now, thanks to them, in my last semester I am thinking of doing my master degree in metallurgy. The material science experts of HwA did not only help me get good grades in the material science assignments but at the same time made me fall in love.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
