Question: S = current stock price, r = annual mean return on a stock ( decimal ) , = annual mean return on a stock (

S= current stock price, r= annual mean return on a stock (decimal),= annual mean return
on a stock (decimal),dt=1252(ie. one trading day) and q= risk-neutral probability of an "up"
move in the stock price. U and D represent the "up" and "down" moves (over one period) in the
stock price. ES1 is the expected stock price in a "risk-neutral" world after one trading day. Using
the BOPM and risk-neutral valuation, which of the following equations is true?
a.ES1=qSD+qSU=Sexp(r.dt)
b.ES1=qSD+(1-q)SU=Sexp(r.dt)
c.ES1=qSD+(1-q)SU=Sexp(.dt)
d.ES1=qSU+(1-q)SD=Sexp(r*dt2)
e. None of the above
 S= current stock price, r= annual mean return on a stock
