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

Consider a one period binomial model with two assets SAAPL(for Apple) and
SGOOGL(for Google). There are two states in the future universe : 1,2. We have
STAAPL(1)=S0AAPLu1
STAAPL(2)=S0AAPLd1
STGOOGL(1)=S0GOOGLu2
STGOOGL(2)=S0GOOGLd2
Let u1=1.02,u2=1.05,d1=0.95,d2=0.98,r=0,T=1. Note that S0AAPL=S0GOOGL=100S0AAPL=200,S0GOOGL=100tilde(E)(e-rTST)=S0Su1so Google has higher percentage return than Apple regardless of outcomes,
which isan arbitrage condition aswe mentioned in class.
a. Create an arbitrage opportunity when S0AAPL=S0GOOGL=100.
b. Create an arbitrage opportunity when S0AAPL=200,S0GOOGL=100.
c. The risk neutral probability is such that tilde(E)(e-rTST)=S0 where S can be either
Apple or Google. Show that there isno risk neutral probability in the above model.
