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

(a) We want to determine a "Greek" for ỡ on the option: find a formula for

(b) Is

positive or negative?
(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
dẴ₁ = µ· Xt dt + йt · ΣdŴt
where (W) is an n-dimensional Brownian motion,

and a E R. We assume that ☑0 = (1, 1, 1, 1) and that the interest rate on the market is r = 0.02.
(a) Give a condition on a that would make stock #3 be the one with largest volatility.
(b) Find the diversification coefficient for this portfolio as a function of a.

Question 1. Your manager asks you to explain why the Black-Scholes model may be inappro-
priate for pricing options in practice. Give one reason that would substantiate this claim?
Question 2. We consider stock #1 and stock #2 in the model of Problem 2. Your manager
asks you to pick only one of them to invest in based on the model provided. Which one do you
choose and why ?
Question 3. Let (St) to be an asset modeled by the Black-Scholes SDE. Let Ft be the price
at time t of a European put with maturity T and strike price K. Then, the discounted option
price process (ert Ft) t20 is a martingale. True or False? (Explain your answer.)
Question 4. You are considering pricing an American put option using a Black-Scholes model
for the underlying stock. An explicit formula for the price doesn't exist. In just a few words (no
more than 2 sentences), explain how you would proceed to price it.
Question 5. We model a short rate with a Ho-Lee model drt = ln(1+t) dt +2dWt. Then the
