Question 2. An American option on a stock has payoff given by F = f(St) when it is exercised
at time t. We know that the function f is convex. A person claims that because of convexity,
it is optimal to exercise at expiration T. Do you agree with them?
Question 4. We consider a CRR model with So == 5 and up and down factors u = 1.03 and
d = 0.96. We consider the interest rate r = 4% (over one period). Is this a suitable CRR
model? (Explain your answer.)
Question 3. We want to price a put option with strike price K and expiration T. Two financial
advisors estimate the parameters with two different statistical methods: they obtain the same
return rate μ, the same volatility σ, but the first advisor has interest r₁ and the second advisor
has interest rate r2 (r1>r2). They both use a CRR model with the same number of periods to
price the option. Which advisor will get the larger price? (Explain your answer.)

- Question 5. We consider a put option with strike price K and expiration T. This option is priced using a 1-period CRR model. We consider r > 0, and σ > 0 very large. What is the approximate price of the option? In other words, what is the limit of the price of the option as σ∞. (Briefly justify your answer.)arrow_forwardQuestion 6. You collect daily data for the stock of a company Z over the past 4 months (i.e. 80 days) and calculate the log-returns (yk)/(-1. You want to build a CRR model for the evolution of the stock. The expected value and standard deviation of the log-returns are y = 0.06 and Sy 0.1. The money market interest rate is r = 0.04. Determine the risk-neutral probability of the model.arrow_forwardSeveral markets (Japan, Switzerland) introduced negative interest rates on their money market. In this problem, we will consider an annual interest rate r < 0. We consider a stock modeled by an N-period CRR model where each period is 1 year (At = 1) and the up and down factors are u and d. (a) We consider an American put option with strike price K and expiration T. Prove that if <0, the optimal strategy is to wait until expiration T to exercise.arrow_forward
