a. Compute a European put option price with the respective intrinsic values of a 2 year with a strike price of $198 using a four=step binomial model (Δt = 0.5).
b.. Compute an American put option price with the respective intrinsic values of a 2 year with a strike price of $198 using a four-step binomial model (Δt=0.5).
c. Compare two option prices and provide your findings from the results.

The current price of stock XYZ is $100. Stock pays dividends at the continuously compounded yield rate of 4%. The continuously compounded risk-free rate is 5% annually. In one year, the stock price may be 115 or 90. The expected continuously compounded rate of return on the stock is 10%. Consider a 105-strike 1-year European call option. Find the continuously compounded expected rate of discount γ for the call option.
