Suppose that a stock price is currently 62 dollars, and it is known that at the end of each of the next two six-month periods, the price will be either 18 percent higher or 18 percent lower than at the beginning of the period. Find the value of a European put option on the stock that expires a year from now, and has a strike price of 66 dollars. Assume that no arbitrage opportunities exist, and a risk-free interest rate of 8 percent.
Answer = dollars.
