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.).
(a) Draw a tree.
(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?
Summary
The question belongs to Statistics and it is about calculation of probability of increase in stock price of a company. By using American and European at the money call options have been calculated. These and other calculations about the stock prices of the company have been calculated.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
The precise and brief annotated bibliography submitted by the writing expert at HwA for my World Religion thesis paper was just what my professor had asked for. There was no problem in communication between the writing expert and me and the research work done was absolutely spot on.
Paul Morris Student
I was really stuck with the concept of pointer variables in FORTRAN programming when I came across HwA. The experts here know how to approach a particular programming assignment and have helped me get through my course with good grades.
Joe Bolton Student
I was really very poor at drawing phase diagrams in my material science course. In fact that was the first time I looked for help from HwA. The result was fantastic. The material science experts knew what to deliver just after receiving the request and I didn’t have to worry since then.
Kate Green Student
I was facing a lot of problems with finding the right and relevant material for my quantitative chemistry assignment and running out of time before the submission deadline. The chemistry assignment expert at HwA helped me find the right research material and also helped me finish the quantitative chemistry assignment on time.
Rebecca Taylor Student
The concepts surrounding kinetics and dynamics in chemical engineering often confused me in my initial days, till I came across HwA. Their team of online chemical engineering assignment experts helped me through the course by letting me get excellent grades in all of my assignments. And the best part is that because the tutors are from Singapore itself there is no gap in the communication between us.

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
