(a) Define what is meant by an equivalent martingale measure (EMM). Find, with proof, the EMM of this model. Does this model have arbitrage opportunities? 

(b) Consider a contract which pays D1 = 1/S1 at time 1. Prove that the time 0 price of this contract is given by: D0 = (u + d − β) / (udβ) .

(c) Find the replicating portfolio for this contract.
