Question 12

Multiple Choice

The formula for pricing options by repeated application of risk-neutral pricing is given by which of the following formulas,where π\pi = [(1 + R) - D]/(U - D) ;U and D are the up and down factors,respectively; (1 + R) is the dollar return;optionU is the option price at the next node in the up state;and optionD is the option price at the next node in the down state?


A) option price= [ π\pi * option U + (1 - π\pi ) * optionD] * (1 + R)
B) option price = [ π\pi * option U + (1 - π\pi ) * optionD] / R
C) option price = [ π\pi * option U +(1 - π\pi ) *optionD] / (1 +R)
D) option price = [ π\pi 2 * option U + (1 - π\pi ) 2*optionD] * (1 +R)
