27. Bullying Bullying is a problem at any age but especially for students aged 12 to 18. A study showed that 7.2% of all students in this age bracket reported being bullied at school during the past six months with 6th grade having the highest incidence at 13.9% and 12th grade the lowest at 2.2%. To see if there is a difference between public and private schools, 200 students were randomly selected from each. At the 0.05 level of significance, can a difference be concluded?
| Private | Public | |
| 200 | 200 | |
| No. Bullied | 13 | 16 |

Several markets (Japan, Switzerland) introduced negative interest rates on their money market.
In this problem, we will consider an annual interest rate r < 0. We consider a stock modeled
by an N-period CRR model where each period is 1 year (At = 1) and the up and down factors
are u and d.
(a) We consider an American put option with strike price K and expiration T. Prove that if
<0, the optimal strategy is to wait until expiration T to exercise.
We consider an N-period CRR model where each period is 1 year (At = 1), the up factor is
u = 0.1, the down factor is d = e−0.3 and r = 0. We remind you that in the CRR model, the
stock price at time tn is modeled (under P) by
Sta

So exp (μtn + σ√AtZn),
where (Zn) is a simple symmetric random walk.
(a) Find the parameters μ and σ for the CRR model described above.

(a) A colleague notices that in the model above, a movement up-down leads to the same value
as a movement down-up. He concludes that the model is a CRR model. Is your colleague
correct? (Explain your answer.)
(b) We consider a European put with strike price K = 10 and expiration T = 3 years. Find
the price of this option at time 0. Provide the replicating portfolio for the first period.
(c) In addition to the call above, we also consider a European call with strike price K = 10
and expiration T = 3 years. Which one has the highest price? (It is not necessary to
provide the price of the call.)
(d) We now assume a yearly interest rate r = 25%. We consider a Bermudan put option with
strike price K = 10. It works like a standard put, but you can exercise it…
