Question 3 (25 Points) - Consider a European call option on a non-dividend-paying stock where the stock price is $33, the strike price is $36, the risk-free rate is 6% per annum, the volatility is 25% per annum and the time to maturity is 6 months. (a) Calculate u and d for a one-step binomial tree. (b) Value the option using a non arbitrage argument. (c) Assume that the option is a put instead of a call. Value the option using the risk neutral approach. (d) Verify that the European call and European put prices found in (b) and (c) satisfy the put-call parity.
