Concept explainers

Correlation defines a relationship between two independent variables. It tells the degree to which variables move in relation to each other. When two sets of data are related to each other, there is a correlation between them.

Linear Correlation

A correlation is used to determine the relationships between numerical and categorical variables. In other words, it is an indicator of how things are connected to one another. The correlation analysis is the study of how variables are related.

Regression Analysis

Regression analysis is a statistical method in which it estimates the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variable. In simple terms dependent variable is called as outcome variable and independent variable is called as p…

Problem 1.We consider a two-period binomial model with the following properties: each period lastsone (1) year and the current stock price is S0 = 4. On each period, the stock price doubleswhen it moves up and is reduced by half when it moves down. The annual interest rateon the money market is 25%. We consider four options on this market: A European call option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; A European put option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; An American call option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; An American put option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5.(a) Find the price at time 0 of both European options.(b) Find the price at time 0 of both American options. Compare your results with (a)and comment.(c) For each of the American options, describe the optimal exercising strategy.(d) We assume that you sell the American put to a market participant A for the pricefound in (b). Explain how you act on the market…

Note: The purpose of this problem below is to use computational techniques (Excelspreadsheet, Matlab, R, Python, etc.) and code the dynamic programming ideas seen inclass. Please provide the numerical answer to the questions as well as a sample of yourwork (spreadsheet, code file, etc.).We consider an N-period binomial model with the following properties: N = 60, thecurrent stock price is S0 = 1000; on each period, the stock price increases by 0.5% whenit moves up and decreases by 0.3% when it moves down. The annual interest rate on themoney market is 5%. (Notice that this model is a CRR model, which means that thebinomial tree is recombining.)(a) Find the price at time t0 = 0 of a (European) call option with strike price K = 1040and maturity T = 1 year.(b) Find the price at time t0 = 0 of a (European) put option with strike price K = 1040and maturity T = 1 year.(c) We consider now, that you are at time t5 (i.e. after 5 periods, which represents 1month later). Assume that the stock…
