(b) Find the price of the option using the binomial model and assuming that at the end of the year the stock price could be $122 or $82. Assume the annualized risk-free rate is 5%.
(c) Find the price of the option using a two-step binomial model assuming that in six months the stock price could be $115 or $87, and that in 12 months' time the stock price could be $133, $100 or $75. Assume the risk-free rate is 5%? Strike Price
