Expert Solution

Face value 1000
Coupon rate 3%
Componding period 1
Coupon int 30
Fv + int 1030
        High  
    High r= 0.05 fuu
    r=0.037   Low  
S0=     r= 0.032 fud
r=1.5% or 0.015 Low      
    r=0.029   Low  
      r= 0.022 fdd
T = 0 T = 1   T=2    
3% annual coupon of $1000 par value      
So , maturity value = 1000 + (3% *1000) = 1030    
Value at T=2 = Maturity value at t=3 discounted + coupon int
             
fuu (1038/1.05) + 38 =   1026.571    
             
fud (1038/1.032) + 38 =   1043.814    
             
fdd (1038/1.022) + 38 =   1053.656    
             
Value at T=1 = Maturity value at Average of t=2 discounted + coupon int
             
fu = 0.5*(1026.571/1.037)+ 38 + 0.5* (1043.814/1.037)+38 = 1074.2569
       
fd = 0.5(1043.814/1.029)+38 + 0.5(1053.656/1.029)+38 = 1095.1788
       
             
             
Value at T=0 Maturity value at Average of t=1 discounted + coupon int
             
Value = 0.5[(1074.2569/1.015)+(1095.1788/1.015)] 1068.6875
