Hello, I'm not sure if this belongs here but here it goes. I have an assessment for a job next week and I was given a list of sample questions. This is one of the questions that I don't understand and I was hoping you could shed some light on it for me.

"If there is a 50% chance an asset will be worth $100 in a week, & a 50% chance it'll be worth $200 in a week, what's the fair price on the option?"

I thought the option price depended on many factors, and the strike price would definitely be needed to deduce an answer? Should I just be hazarding a guess at approximately 1 or 2?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
 
Hi Mooneyse,
We are not really geared up on AAM to discuss theoretical or student questions.

If you have a practical question concerning irish consumer finance then please feel free to post it on the relevant subforum.
