In this problem, we consider a Brownian motion (W+) t≥0. We consider a stock model (St)t>0
given (under the measure P) by
d.St 0.03 St dt + 0.2 St dwt,
with So 2. We assume that the interest rate is r = 0.06. The purpose of this problem is to
price an option on this stock (which we name cubic put). This option is European-type, with
maturity 3 months (i.e. T = 0.25 years), and payoff given by
F = (8-5)+
(a) Write the Stochastic Differential Equation satisfied by (St) under the risk-neutral measure
Q. (You don't need to prove it, simply give the answer.)
(b) Give the price of a regular European put on (St) with maturity 3 months and strike K = 2.
(c) Let X =
S. Find the Stochastic Differential Equation satisfied by the process (Xt)
under the measure Q.
(d) Find an explicit expression for X₁ = S3 under measure Q.
(e) Using the results above, find the price of the cubic put option mentioned above.
(f) Is the price in (e) the same as in question (b)? (Explain why.)
Problem 4. Margrabe formula and the Greeks (20 pts)
In the homework, we determined the Margrabe formula for the price of an option allowing you to
swap an x-stock for a y-stock at time T. For stocks with initial values xo, yo, common volatility
σ and correlation p, the formula was given by
Fo=yo (d+)-x0Þ(d_),
where

(b) Is

(c) We consider a situation in which the correlation p between the two stocks increases: what
can you say about the price Fo?
(d) Assume that yo< xo and p = 1. What is the price of the option?
We consider a 4-dimensional stock price model given (under P) by

Find the values of Py(0) and Py(1).b. What is the probability that only 0s will be received for a sequence of 10 digits transmitted?c. What is the probability that 8 1s and 2 0s will be received for the same sequence of 10 digits?d.
