Explanation Given Information: On a plane with 38.35 gal of fuel, fuel is drained. First 8.2 gal are drained then another 6.33 gal . Formula used: Adding or subtracting measurements of different precision. 1. Make certain that all measurements are expressed in the same unit. If they are not change them all to any common unit. 2. Add or subtract. 3. Then round the result to same precision as the least precision measurement. Calculation: Calculate the total amount of fuel drained. Since the measurements are in same unit, add Total amount of fuel drained = 8.2 gal + 6 .33 gal = 14

Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Problem 3. 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). (a) We first assume that r = 0 (for questions (a)-(f)). Write an explicit expression for the process Xt. Reminder before proceeding to question (b): Girsanov's theorem…

Problem 1. Multi-stock model We consider a 2-stock model similar to the one studied in class. Namely, we consider = S(1) S(2) = S(¹) exp (σ1B(1) + (M1 - 0/1 ) S(²) exp (02B(2) + (H₂- M2 where (B(¹) ) +20 and (B(2) ) +≥o are two Brownian motions, with t≥0 Cov (B(¹), B(2)) = p min{t, s}. " The purpose of this problem is to prove that there indeed exists a 2-dimensional Brownian motion (W+)+20 (W(1), W(2))+20 such that = S(1) S(2) = = S(¹) exp (011W(¹) + (μ₁ - 01/1) t) 롱) S(²) exp (021W (1) + 022W(2) + (112 - 03/01/12) t). where σ11, 21, 22 are constants to be determined (as functions of σ1, σ2, p). Hint: The constants will follow the formulas developed in the lectures. (a) To show existence of (Ŵ+), first write the expression for both W. (¹) and W (2) functions of (B(1), B(²)). as (b) Using the formulas obtained in (a), show that the process (WA) is actually a 2- dimensional standard Brownian motion (i.e. show that each component is normal, with mean 0, variance t, and that their…
