17. A risk manager would like to simulate the price of a stock using the discretized GBM, where St+At = St + µS{At+√Ã£$£€ where μ and o denote, respectively, the stock annual mean return and annual volatility. The data suggest that the weekly mean return on the stock is 0.5% and the weekly volatility is 4%. Assuming a weekly time step of At = 1/52 (in terms of annual units), what is the appropriate estimate of μ? (a) = 26.4% (b) û = 30.16% (c) û = 4.5% (d) û = 17.94% 18. Suppose that the price of an asset obeys geometric Brownian motion (GBM) with an annual drift μ = 0.01 and an annual volatility of o= 0.25. If today's price is $100, what is the probability that the price two years from now will drop below $80? Hint: Recall that under GBM, the future price at T, i.e. ST, given today's spot price, St, is with TT-t and €~ = (a) 21.51% (b) 35.48% (c) 51.1% (d) 30.47% ST= St x exp (μ x exp [(μ-27 ) XT + √F X 0 Xe] N (0, 1).
