Explanation / Answer

76.Solution:

The payoff from the put option is $0 if the stock price rises and $25 if the stock price falls. From the binomial pricing model we can create a replicating portfolio with the following two equations:

$0 = ($32 × x) + (1.02 × y)

$25 = ($5 × x) + (1.02 × y)

x = –0.93 shares of stock

y = $29.05 of risk-free bonds

The value of the option is the value of the replicating portfolio:

(–0.93 × $29) + ($29.05) = $2.20
