- Consider a call option on a stock that does not pay dividends. The stock price is $100 per share, and the risk-free interest rate is 10%. The call strike is $100 (at the money). The stock moves randomly with u=2 and d=0.5. 1. Write the system of equations to replicate the option using A shares and B bonds. 2. Solve the system of equations and determine the number of shares and the number of bonds needed to replicate the option. Show your answer with 4 decimal places (x.xxxx); do not round intermediate calculations. This is easy to do in Excel. A = B = 3. Use A shares and B bonds from the prior question to calculate the premium on the option. Again, do not round intermediate calculations and show your answer with 4 decimal places.

In this context, it is essential that, when studying and developing these topics, students understand the concepts of the value of currencies and that leads to devaluation, non-renewable and renewable energy resources, economic development and obstacles, distribution of wealth, economic growth and external and internal constraints, and about international trade as a growth factor. Thus, the objectives that are intended to be achieved are the following: Acquire knowledge about the concepts mentioned above. Determine relationships between economic growth and international trade.

Suppose that the two nations face the following benefits of pollution, B, and costs of abatement, C: BN = 10, Bs = 7; CN = 5, Cs = 4. Further assume that if the nation chooses to abate pollution, it still receives the benefits of pollution but now must pay the cost of abatement as well. a. Identify the payoffs that accrue to each nation under the four different possible outcomes of the game and present these payoffs in the normal form of the game. b. Recall that the term dominant strategy defines the condition that a player in a game would prefer to play that strategy (in this case either pollute or abate) regardless of the strategy chosen by the other player in the game. Does either nation have a dominant strategy in this game? If so, what is it? c. Identify the Nash equilibria, or non-cooperative equilibria, of this game.arrow_forward
