The stock does not pay dividends. a.Use this framework to calculate the price (at the beginning of the tree) of an Americanoption whose payoff is equal to [max(S^2 – 100^2, 0)]^0.5 and expiring in 1 year.b.Repeat part a. with volatilities ranging from 20% to 40%, in increments of 5%, and plot the option price as a function of volatility. c.Repeat part a. for a range of riskfree rates from 1% to 10%, in increments of 1%, and plot the option price as a function of the riskfree rate. d.Plot the Delta of the option as a function of the stock price on the path of the tree where the stock price goes only up.e.Plot the cash in the replicating portfolio as function of the stock price on the path in the binomial tree on which the stock price only goes up.Make your excel spreadsheet very clear. 2.Construct a binomial tree with three periods, such that the riskfree rate is zero, u=1.1, d=0.9 andthe initial stock price is $100.
