Chapter 5, Problem 7SE
Criminal Court Judges Criminal cases are assigned to judges randomly. The list of the criminal judges for Memphis, Tennessee (taken from the Tennessee Court System website, www.tsc.state.tn.us), is given in the table. Assume that only Carolyn Blacken and Paula Skahan are women and the rest are men. If you were a criminal defense attorney in Memphis, you might be interested in whether the judge assigned to your case was a man or a woman.

Problem1
We consider a two-period binomial model with the following properties: each period lastsone (1) year and the current stock price is S0 = 4. On each period, the stock price doubleswhen it moves up and is reduced by half when it moves down. The annual interest rateon the money market is 25%. (This model is the same as in Prob. 1 of HW#2).We consider four options on this market: A European call option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; A European put option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; An American call option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; An American put option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5.(a) Find the price at time 0 of both European options.(b) Find the price at time 0 of both American options. Compare your results with (a)and comment.(c) For each of the American options, describe the optimal exercising strategy.
