Chapter 16, Problem 40C

A

Summary Introduction

Adequate information:

Annualized standard deviation, s = 0.40

Time to maturity = 1 Year

One period = 1 Year

To Compute:

value of u and d as per binomial model

Introduction:

u= $e^{\sigma \sqrt{t}}$

d= $e^{-\sigma \sqrt{t}}$

Where s = Standard deviation for the period

t= period

Summary Introduction

(B)

Adequate information:

Annualized standard deviation, s = 0.40

Time to maturity = 1 Year

One period = 3 months

To Compute:

value of u and d as per binomial model

Introduction:

u= $e^{\sigma \sqrt{t}}$

d= $e^{-\sigma \sqrt{t}}$

Where s = Standard deviation for the period

t= period
