In Exercise 59, consider the following additional information on credit card usage:
70% of all regular fill-up customers use a credit card.
50% of all regular non-fill-up customers use a credit card.
60% of all plus fill-up customers use a credit card.
50% of all plus non-fill-up customers use a credit card.
50% of all premium fill-up customers use a credit card.
40% of all premium non-fill-up customers use a credit card.

- a. {plus and fill-up and credit card}
- b. {premium and non-fill-up and credit card}
- c. {premium and credit card}
- d. {fill-up and credit card}
- e. {credit card}
- f. If the next customer uses a credit card, what is the probability that premium was requested?

We consider the one-period model studied in class as an example. Namely, we assumethat the current stock price is S0 = 10. At time T, the stock has either moved up toSt = 12 (with probability p = 0.6) or down towards St = 8 (with probability 1−p = 0.4).We consider a call option on this stock with maturity T and strike price K = 10. Theinterest rate on the money market is zero.As in class, we assume that you, as a customer, are willing to buy the call option on100 shares of stock for $120. The investor, who sold you the option, can adopt one of thefollowing strategies: Strategy 1: (seen in class) Buy 50 shares of stock and borrow $380. Strategy 2: Buy 55 shares of stock and borrow $430. Strategy 3: Buy 60 shares of stock and borrow $480. Strategy 4: Buy 40 shares of stock and borrow $280.(a) For each of strategies 2-4, describe the value of the investor’s portfolio at time 0,and at time T for each possible movement of the stock.(b) For each of strategies 2-4, does the investor have…
