EXAMPLE
The share of TIC Ltd are currently priced at 415 and call option
exercisable in three months time has an exercise rate of 400.
Risk free rate of interest is 5% p.a. and standard deviation

SOLUTION
d2 = d1- 𝜎√t
= 0.5033- 0.11
= 0.3933
BINOMIAL MODEL
Rs.110 (u) = 10
ABC Ltd Rs. 100
Rs.90 (d) = 0
Calculation of probability in binomial pricing model
P(U) = (R-D)/(U-D)
= (1.05-0.90)/(1.10-0.90)
= 0.15/0.20 R= Return
D= Down in price
= 0.75 U= Up In price
D= Down in price
P(D)= 1- 0.75
= 0.25
