You are attempting to value a call option with an exercise price
of $120 and one year to expiration. The underlying stock pays no
dividends, its current price is $120, and you believe it has a 50%
chance of increasing to $150 and a 50% chance of decreasing to $90.
The risk-free rate of interest is 6%. Consider one share of stock
and two written calls. Calculate the call option's value using the
two-state stock price model. (Do not round intermediate
calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)
