Risk-neutral probabilities
Not what you're looking for?
In the following interest rate tree, solve for the risk-neutral probabilities at time 0 and time 0.5, using the equation: p=(dt/d½ - dt+1d)/(dt+1u-dt+1d), where d½ is the discount rate (DR) at time=t. In addition, what is the value at time 0 of an option that pays $1.35 at t=1 in the down-down state.
t=0 t=0.5 t=1

d½,1 =0.972290 (DR) 1
d½,1½ =0.945094 d1,1½ =0.970403
d0,½ =0.973047 (DR)
d0,1 =0.947820 1
d0,1½ =0.922819 d1,1½ =0.974184
