The price S(u), 0 ≤ u ≤ t, of the share is driven by a geometric Brownian motion: S(u) = Seμu+σW(u).A proportional dividend on this share is paid continuously at rate q > 0 and is reinvested in the share. The continuously compounded interest rate is r. Compute the no-arbitrage price of a derivative with expiration time t and payoff function R(t) = [S(t/3)S(2t/3)S(t)]1/3 .

The price S(t) of a share follows the geometric Brownian motion S(t) = Se µt+σW(t) . The price of the share at t = 0 is S = £25 and µ = 0.1. The continuously compounded interest rate is 8%. However, the volatility σ is not known. (a) Explain the definition of implied volatility. (b) A European call option on the above share with the strike price K = £23 and expiration time of 6 months has the market price £3.1. Does the equation defining the implied volatility have a solution? [6] Hint. You are not supposed to solve the equation defining the volatility to answer this question.

A non-dividend-paying stock has a current price of 800 ngwee. In any unit of time (t, t + 1) the price of the stock either increases by 25% or decreases by 20%. K1 held in cash between times t and t + 1 receives interest to become K1.04 at time t + 1. The stock price after t time units is denoted by St.Required:I. Calculate the risk-neutral probability measure for the model.II. Calculate the price (at t = 0) of a derivative contract written on the stock with expiry date t = 2 which pays 1,000 ngwee if and only if S2 is not 800 ngwee (and otherwise pays 0).

Assume that the risk-free rate (i.e., Rf) is 2.8%. If, for a particular company bond issue, the default risk premium (i.e., DP) is 3.1%, the maturity risk premium ( i.e., MP) is 0.9%, and the market risk premium ( i.e., MRP) for that company's stock is 12.9% what is the required rate of return for the company's fixed income securities ? Record your answer as a percent , rounded to one decimal place , but do not include a percent sign in your answer . For example , enter 0.1578658 = 15.78625% as 15.8 .
Question 1. Let St be the current price of a stock that pays no dividends. a)Let rbid be the interest rate at which one can invest/lend money, and roff be theinterest rate at which one can borrow money, rbid≤roff.

c) Assume that using the Security Market Line (SML) the required rate of return (RA) on stock A is foundto be half of the required return (RB) on stock B. The risk-free rate (Rf) is one-fourth of the requiredreturn on A. Return on market portfolio is denoted by RM. Find the ratio of beta of A (A) to beta of B(B).
