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. maximize ₁ - 2x2+x34x4 subject to 2x1+x22x3x41, 5x1 + x2-x3-×4 ≤ −1, 2x1+x2-x3-34 2, 1, 2, 3, 40.
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). Total [8 Marks]
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.
