(b) An individual agent thinks that there is a high probability that the Dow Jones will have a payoff (or points) between a=34,000 and b-36,000 at t=1. 1=nd Design a digital option (see Figure 1) as a sequence of calls on the Dow that converges to a pure bet on getting $1 on the interval [34,000, 36,000]. ie, if the Dow lies between SE[34,000, 36,000] at t=1, then the portfolio of calls pays off exactly $1. The payoff is 0 otherwise. a+8 Figure 1 (Digital option) payoff a=34,000 b-36,000 S.
