The credit - worthiness of debt issued by companies is assessed at the end of each year by a credit rating agency. The ratings are A ( the most credit - worthy), B and ( debt defaulted). Historic evidence supports the view that the credit rating can be modelled as a Markov chain with one- year transition matrix: p= [0.92 0.05 0.03 0.05 0.85 0.1 0 0 1 Determine the probability that a company currently rated A will never be rated B in the future

Shakira's concerts behave like a Markov chain. If the current concert gets cancelled, then there is an 90% chance that the next concert will be cancelled also. However, if the current concert does not get cancelled, then there is only a 50% chance that the next concert will be cancelled. What is the long-run probability that a concert will not be cancelled? a. 1/4 b. 1/10 c. 1/6 d. 1/2 e. 5/6 f. None of the others are correct
In any given day the air quality in a certain city is either good or bad. Records show that when the air quality is good on one day, then there is a 95% chance that it will be good the next day, and when the air quality is bad on one day, then there is 45% chance it will be bad the next day. a. Give the transition matrix. b. if the air quality is good today, what is the probability it will be good two days from now? c. if the air quality is bad today, what is the probability it will be bad three days from now? d. if the there is 20% chance the air quality is good today, what is the probability it will be good tomorrow?

Consider the three grocery stores, Murphy’s Foodliner, Ashley’sSupermarket and Quick Stop Groceries. Quick Stop Groceries is smaller than eitherMurphy’s Foodliner or Ashley’s Supermarket. However, Quick Stop’s convenience withfaster service and gasoline for automobiles can be expected to attract somecustomers who currently make weekly shopping visits to either Murphy’s or Ashley’s.Assume that the transition probabilities are as follows: What is the projected market shares for the 3 convenient stores?
Consider an economy with two states of nature and one time period. An option pays $3 in state 1 and $0 in state 2, and is being traded for the price of $1. A forward contract pays $3 in state 1 and -$2 in state 2. Using this information, compute the risk-free rate and the risk-neutral probabilities for each state of nature.
