Assume that the price S of a risky asset follows a binomial
model with S(0) =
$100, u = 10% and d = -10%. The underlying asset pays a dividend of
$5 on the odd times, i.e., 1; 3; 5...,
and only if the price is strictly higher than $95. In this market,
the risk-free rate is 0% (zero).
You are called to price a European call with strike price K = 87
and expiry date N = 3 with the additional
restriction that during the life of the call the stock price has
not exceeded the value of $110.
