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.)

- Question 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_forwardWe consider an N-period CRR model where each period is 1 year (At = 1), the up factor is u = 0.1, the down factor is d = e−0.3 and r = 0.

(Explain your answer.) (b) We consider a European put with strike price K = 10 and expiration T = 3 years. Find the price of this option at time 0. Provide the replicating portfolio for the first period. (c) In addition to the call above, we also consider a European call with strike price K = 10 and expiration T = 3 years. Which one has the highest price? (It is not necessary to provide the price of the call.) (d) We now assume a yearly interest rate r = 25%. We consider a Bermudan put option with strike price K = 10.
