What is the put price at date 0 if the market is free of


Consider a one-period binomial pricing economy. There are two dates only, date 0 and 1. A risky stock has price of $100 at date 0, and its final price is either $120 (at State 1) or $80 (at State 2) at date 1. The risk-free rate over this period is 5%. A European put written on this stock with a strike of $100 expires on date 1. Also, assume the physical probability of State 1 is 0.6 and it is 0.4 at State 2.

(a) What is the put price at date 0, if the market is free of arbitrage opportunity?
