A share of stock is currently worth $90 and has a volatility of 20%. The domestic risk-free interest rate is 5% and the stock does not pay any dividend. Use a two-step binomial tree to derive a) the value of a European four-month call option written on a 100 shares of stock with a strike price of $91 per share, and b) the position in shares of stock (long or short) which will hedge a short position in the European call option today.

13. The utility function of consumers who spend both their income and buy X and Y goods was given U=XY. (U is the size of utility, X is the consumption of X material, Y is the consumption of Y goods) The consumer's income is 100, and the prices of X and Y goods are initially 2 and 10. If the price of X material rises from 2 to 8, what is the compensation income for this change (the minimum income that achieves the same utility level as before)?
