Option Valuation
Calculate upward(u), downward(d) and probability(p) when a binomial tree is constructed to value an option on a
foreign currency. The binomial tree step size is “one month” considering spot rate as $121, the domestic interest rate is
5% per annum, the foreign interest rate is 8% per annum and the volatility is 12% per annum. The strike price is K=$122.
