    The value of the call option today is $10.19

    Explanation:

    The value of the call option under the two state stock price model is calculated by calculating the present value of the expected return on the stock based on the price increase and price decrease and the probability of such change in prices. It assumes the price to be such that the price is arbitrage free price.

    The return on stock is 131 - 109 = 22 if the prices rise to $131. The option will be exercised in this case.

    The return on stock will be 0 in case prices go down to $87 as the option will not be exercised and it will expire worthless.

    The expected return is = 22 * 0.5 + 0 * 0.5 = $11

    The present value of the return is 11 / (1+0.08) = $10.185 rounded off to $10.19

    Thus, the price of the call option today is $10.19
