9. An elementary single period market model contains a risk-free asset with interest rate
r = 5% and a risky asset S which has price 30 at time t = 0 and will have either price
10 or 60 at time t = 1. Find a replicating strategy for a contingent claim with payoff
h(S₁) = max(20 - S₁, 0) + max(S₁ — 50, 0).

8. An elementary single period market model has a risky asset with price So = 20 at the
beginning and a money market account with interest rate r = 0.04 compounded only
once at the end of the investment period.

In market model A, S₁ 10 with 15% probability and S₁
21 with 85% probability.
In market model B, S₁ = 25 with 10% probability and S₁ = 30 with 90% probability.
For each market model A, B, determine if the model is arbitrage-free. If not, construct
an arbitrage.

b) Solve the following linear program using the 2-phase simplex algorithm. You should give
the initial tableau, and each further tableau produced during the execution of the
algorithm. If the program has an optimal solution, give this solution and state its
objective value. If it does not have an optimal solution, say why.
