(a) (3 points) Using a two-period binomial tree, what is the value of a 2-month American call whose exercise price is $101? (b) (3 points) Using a two-period binomial tree, what is the value of a 2-month American put whose exercise price is $1017 2) Consider a 2-month European call whose exercise price is $101. The current stock price is $100 and its volatility is 20% p.a. The risk-free rate is 5% p.a. continuously compounding. (a) (3 points) What is the price of this call under the two-period binomial framework? Note that you can use the risk-free-portfolio construction method to value this option (i.e. by working backward through the tree), or use the "short-cut" risk- neutral valuation method.
