We are back in the single period binomial world.
A client wants to sell you a generic (non-fair) forward contract i.e. the strike K is not arbitrage-free.
Since it is not a fair contract, you are asking the client to pay you a price (a premium) for you to enter the
contract. The object of this problem is to find this premium and a trading strategy to hedge all your risks.
1. What is the payoff of this derivative contract at each terminal state at maturity T (hint: nothing really
changed)?
2. Since you are starting with a non-zero premium, find the delta and the (arbitrage-free) premium so
that you end up with zero pnl in all scenarios.
3. Summarize your replication strategy of this contract at each step.
