Let’s call pu the probability of an increase in the stock price and pd=1 pu the probability of a stock decrease S0D f = [pu(S0uDfu)+ pd(S0dDfd)] ekT where k is the appropriate rate for the risk involved ? However, D is chosen such that S0uDfu= S0dDfd and we know that pd=1 pu ? Substituting, S0D f = [pu(S0uDfu)+ (1 pu)(S0uDfu)] ekT = (S0uDfu)erT as since this is riskfree, k = r ? No pu’s or pd’s left, thus probability of stock increase is irrelevant ? 16 Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives, 4th edition 169。 2023 by John C.

Hull RiskNeutral Valuation ? The variable ? does NOT appear in the solution to the option value using the Binomial Method ? Thus, the solution is independent of all variables affected by risk preference ? The solution is therefore the same in a riskfree world as it is in the real world ? Hence, we can assume that the world is risk neutral ? This leads to the principle of riskneutral valuation ? 20 Options, Futures, and Other Derivatives, 4th edition 169。 2023 by John C.
