Question:
Consider a two-step binomial model \(\left(S_{k}\right)_{k=0,1,2}\) with interest rate \(r=0 \%\) and risk-neutral probabilities \(\left(p^{*}, q^{*}\right)\) :
a) At time \(t=1\), would you exercise the American put option with strike price \(K=1.25\) if \(S_{1}=1.2\) ? If \(S_{1}=0.9\) ?
b) What would be your investment allocation at time \(t=0\) ?
