Explanation Formula used: Integrating factor: The integrating factor of the First-Order linear differential equation y ′ + f ( x ) y = g ( x ) is I ( x ) = e ∫ f ( x ) d x . Calculation: It is given that the model for weight loss or gain is d w d t + 0.005 w = 1 3 , 500 C where w ( t ) is, a person’s weight after t days consuming exactly C calories per day. Here, the person goes on a diet of 2,800 calories per day. Therefore the equation becomes, d w d t + 0.005 w = 2 , 800 3 , 500 d w d t + 0.005 w = 0.8 Find the integrating factor of the first order linear equation d w d t + 0.005 w = 0.8 where f ( t ) = 0.005 and g ( t ) = 0.8 . I ( w ) = e ∫ 0.005 d t = e 0.005 t Multiply both sides of the equation by the integrating factor. e 0.005 t d w d t + 0.005 e 0.005 t w = 0.8 e 0.005 t ( e 0.005 t w ) ′ = 0.8 e 0.005 t [ ∵ ( x y ) ′ = x y ′ + x ′ y ] Integrate both sides of the equation. ∫ ( e 0.005 t w ) ′ d w = 0.8 ∫ e 0.005 t d w e 0.005 t w = 0.8 ( e 0.005 t 0.005 ) + c e 0.005 t w = 160 e 0.005 t + c w = 160 + c e − 0

3. A market consists of two risky assets with rates of return R₁ and R2 and no risk-free asset. From market data the following have been estimated: ER₁ = 0.25, ER2 = 0.05, Var R₁ = 0.01, Var R2 = 0.04 and the correlation between R1 and R2 is p = -0.75. (i) Given that an investor is targeting a total expected return of μ = 0.2. What portfolio weights should they choose to meet this goal with minimum portfolio variance? Correct all your calculations up to 4 decimal points. (ii) Determine the global minimum-variance portfolio and the expected return and variance of return of this portfolio (4 d.p.). (iii) Sketch the minimum-variance frontier in the μ-σ² plane and indicate the efficient frontier. (iv) Without further calculation, explain how the minimum variance of the investor's portfolio return will change if the two risky assets were independent.

2. A landlord is about to write a rental contract for a tenant which lasts T months. The landlord first decides the length T > 0 (need not be an integer) of the contract, the tenant then signs it and pays an initial handling fee of £100 before moving in. The landlord collects the total amount of rent erT at the end of the contract at a continuously compounded rate r> 0, but the contract stipulates that the tenant may leave before T, in which case the landlord only collects the total rent up until the tenant's departure time 7. Assume that 7 is exponentially distributed with rate > 0, λ‡r. (i) Calculate the expected total payment EW the landlord will receive in terms of T. (ii) Assume that the landlord has logarithmic utility U(w) = log(w - 100) and decides that the rental rate r should depend on the contract length T by r(T) = λ √T 1 For each given λ, what T (as a function of X) should the landlord choose so as to maximise their expected utility? Justify your answer. Hint. It might be…

Please solving problem2 Problem1 We consider a two-period binomial model with the following properties: each period lastsone (1) year and the current stock price is S0 = 4. On each period, the stock price doubleswhen it moves up and is reduced by half when it moves down. The annual interest rateon the money market is 25%. (This model is the same as in Prob. 1 of HW#2).We consider four options on this market: A European call option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; A European put option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; An American call option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5; An American put option with maturity T = 2 years and strike price K = 5.(a) Find the price at time 0 of both European options.(b) Find the price at time 0 of both American options. Compare your results with (a)and comment.(c) For each of the American options, describe the optimal exercising strategy.
