The one-step expected price multiplier under the stated physical probability is . Independence lets the expectation of the product factorize, giving
The same expression follows by summing the four binomial endpoint probabilities times their prices. This is a physical-measure expectation; option replication below uses a separately determined risk-neutral probability.
