Question:

Stanton Company stock is trading for 50 in a two-time-period environment, with each relevant time period lasting 6 months. The stock might increase by exactly 20% in just one period or perhaps in both periods. Of course, the stock might not increase in either period. If the stock price does not increase in a given period, it will decline by 16.67 percent in that particular period. One-year options with an exercise price equal to 60 are trading on this stock. The annual riskless rate of return equals 0.

a. What is the value of a put in this environment?

b. What is the probability (risk-neutral probability) implied in this framework that the Stanton Company stock price will exceed 40 when options expire in one year?
