Pricing a multi-stock option the Margrabe formula The purpose of this problem is to price a swap option in a 2-stock model, similarly as what we did in the example in the lectures. We consider a two-dimensional Brownian motion given by W₁ = (W(¹), W(2)) on a probability space (Q, F,P). Two stock prices are modeled by the following equations: dX = dY₁ = X₁ (rdt+ rdt+0₁dW!) (²)), Y₁ (rdt+dW+0zdW!"), with Xo xo and Yo =yo. This corresponds to the multi-stock model studied in class, but with notation (X+, Y₁) instead of (S(1), S(2)). Given the model above, the measure P is already the risk-neutral measure (Both stocks have rate of return r). We write σ = 0₁+0%. We consider a swap option, which gives you the right, at time T, to exchange one share of X for one share of Y. That is, the option has payoff F=(Yr-XT).
