Chapter 4.5, Problem 41E
A consulting firm submitted a bid for a large research project. The firm’s management initially felt they had a 50–50 chance of getting the project. However, the agency to which the bid was submitted subsequently requested additional information on the bid. Past experience indicates that for 75% of the successful bids and 40% of the unsuccessful bids the agency requested additional information.
- a. What is the prior
probability of the bid being successful (that is, prior to the request for additional information)? - b. What is the conditional probability of a request for additional information given that the bid will ultimately be successful?
- c. Compute the posterior probability that the bid will be successful given a request for additional information.

We consider the one-period model studied in class as an example. Namely, we assumethat the current stock price is S0 = 10. At time T, the stock has either moved up toSt = 12 (with probability p = 0.6) or down towards St = 8 (with probability 1−p = 0.4).We consider a call option on this stock with maturity T and strike price K = 10. Theinterest rate on the money market is zero.As in class, we assume that you, as a customer, are willing to buy the call option on100 shares of stock for $120. The investor, who sold you the option, can adopt one of thefollowing strategies: Strategy 1: (seen in class) Buy 50 shares of stock and borrow $380. Strategy 2: Buy 55 shares of stock and borrow $430. Strategy 3: Buy 60 shares of stock and borrow $480. Strategy 4: Buy 40 shares of stock and borrow $280.(a) For each of strategies 2-4, describe the value of the investor’s portfolio at time 0,and at time T for each possible movement of the stock.(b) For each of strategies 2-4, does the investor have…
