Consider a European call option on a non-dividend-paying stock where the stock price is $40, the strike price is $40, the risk-free rate is 10% per annum, over each of the next two 3-month periods it is expected to go up by 10% or down by 10% and the time to maturity is 6 months.

a) Calculate u, d, and the risk-neutral probability p for a two-step tree.

b) Value the option using the two-step tree and risk-neutral probability you get in a).

c) What is meant by the delta of a stock option? What is the value of the delta for each step?

d) Get the option value by using the delta-hedged portfolio.

e) Get the European put with the same strike and time to expiry by using Put-Call parity.

f) Based on this stock consider an American put option with the strike price is $42, the risk-free rate, the time to maturity, and time steps keep the same, what is the premium of this option.
