Question: Again consider a one period binomial model with two assets S A A P L ( for Apple ) and S G O O G

Again consider a one period binomial model with two assets SAAPL(for Apple)
and SGOOGL(for Google) as above. Let u1=1.02,d1=0.95,d2=0.98,r=0,T=1.
We leave u2 to be determined later.
a. The risk neutral probability is such that tilde(E)(e-rTST)=S0 where S can be either
Apple or Google. What is the risk neutral probability here? (Hint : You only need
to use the information on Apple stock here. )
b. Assuming that that the risk neutral probability condition is satisfied in this
problem. That is tilde(E)(e-rTSTGOOGL)=S0GOOGL. Find u2 using this condition.
c. Verify that the u2 you found in part b is less than u1. Thus when the no
arbitrage condition is satisfied (when the risk neutral probability exists), it cannot
be the case that
