Answer:

a.) The proportional up movement , u, for the currency can be calculated using the following formula:

u = eStd Dev * Square root of t

u = e0.06*square root of 0.25

u = 1.0305

b.) Probability of up movement, p , = (a - d) / (u - d)

where   a = ert where r = 0.025, t = 0.25

a = e0.025*0.25 = 1.0063

d = 1 / u = 1 / 1.3050 = 0.7663

p = (1.0063-0.7663) / (1.3050-0.7663)

p = 0.46

1-p = 1-0.46 = 0.54

c)  Price of an American Call Option on the currency : we use binomial tree for that , as follows: The amounts below line indicate the option price and figures above line indicate the underlying asset price which is 0.55555

STatiana [176]

Answer:

$25 per batch

Explanation:

Combined final sales value:

= Sales value of refined sugar + Sales value of industrial fiber

= $65 + $65

= $130

Financial advantage:

= Combined final sales value - Further Processing - sugar beets costs - Cost to Crush

= $130 - ($17 + $21) - $54 - $13

= $130 - $38 - $54 - $13

= $25 per batch

Therefore, the financial advantage (disadvantage) for the company from processing one batch of sugar beets into the end products industrial fiber and refined sugar is $25.
