Answer:

+0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine the drift of such a process

Using this formula

Drift=(Increases in stock price*50%)- (Decreases in stock price *50%)

Let plug in the formula

Drift = (0.5)(1.25) + (0.5)(-0.75)

Drift =0.625+ (0.375)

Drift = +0.25%

Therefore the drift of such a process is +0.25
