Calculation of Probability of Increase in Stock Price of a company
Question
Today (time t = 0) the stock price of company XYZ is S = 70. In 6 months (time t = 0:5) it changes (under the true probability measure P) with probability of 70% to S(u)0.5 = 90 and with probability 30% to S(d)0.5 = 60. From time t = 0:5 to time t = 1 the stock price may increase by 30% with a probability of 50% or decrease by 20% with a probability of 50%. The risk free interest rate is constant and equal to 5% (c.c.).
(a) Draw a tree.
(b) Use replicating portfolios to calculate the price of a European at-the-money call option with 1 year left to maturity.
(c) What is the price of an American at-the-money call option with 1 year left to maturity?
(d) Suppose you own 10 stocks of company XYZ. At time t = 0, how many long or short positions do you have to take in European at-the-money call options with 1 year to maturity if you like to hedge your entire exposure to stock price fluctuations?
Summary
The question belongs to Statistics and it is about calculation of probability of increase in stock price of a company. By using American and European at the money call options have been calculated. These and other calculations about the stock prices of the company have been calculated.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
When after completing my High School I decided to pursue graduation degree in Physics, I never knew things would be this hard. In fact fourth semester onwards I was feeling the pinch. I am glad that I came across HelpWithAssignment and had an opportunity to interact with their online Physics electricity Experts. They did not only help me with my Physics electricity Assignments but also at the same time helped me to gain confidence. Today, while I am pursuing my Master’s degree, I still take help with my assignments.

I was really very poor at drawing phase diagrams in my material science course. In fact that was the first time I looked for help from HwA. The result was fantastic. The material science experts knew what to deliver just after receiving the request and I didn’t have to worry since then.
Kate Green Student
The opportunity to talk to your online network security tutor anytime during the day is a great help. It is extremely helpful when you want to clarify any point in your assignment. The tutors are extremely professional and they have great knowledge on practically any topic under the sun in IT security. Would definitely recommend to all.

I had to choose my own research topic for my final year dissertation during my post graduate management course and I was really confused. I was not sure from where I can get a standard response matching the requirements of my New Zealand based university. I must admit that I was lucky to come across HwA as they have experts located in New Zealand who helped me with the assignment and more importantly helped me achieve grades, beyond expectation.
Fiona Nash Student
Research, reference and relevant examples are the primary requirements of our econ professor. When I mentioned this to the online factor markets assignment expert at HwA she made sure that all of the tree were clearly present in the factor markets assignment essay submitted. Needless to say I totally aced the grading.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
