Suppose that we can describe the world using two states and that two assets are available, asset K an asset L. We assume the asset’s future prices have the following distribution Suppose that we can describe the world using two states and that two assets are available, asset K an asset L. We assume the asset’s future prices have the following distribution state 1 Future Price Asset K $55 $45 2. Future Price Asset L $60 $30 The current price of asset K is $50, and the current price of asset L is $50. What are the values of the unit claims (C1 and C2)? What is the risk free rate implied by these assets? What is the “risk neutral probability” of state 1? What is the “risk neutral probability” of state 2?
