The risk-free rate of interest is 10%. a. What will be the payoff to the put, Pu, if the stock goes up? b. What will be the payoff, Pd, if the stock price falls? c. What is the weighted average value of the pay off? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

    Explanation:

    Payoff of put=MAX (strike price-stock price, 0)

    Pu=MAX (170-180,0) = 0

    Pd=MAX (170-100,0) = 70

    Weighted avergae=50%*0+50%*70=35
