Derivative work

Rate, Futures Rate and currency Options. According to Jean Folger (2012), Derivative is a contract between two or more parties whose value is based on an agreed-upon underlying financial asset, index or security. Then currency derivatives are a contract whose prices are partially derived from the value of the underlying currency that it represents. And firms especially MNC’s commonly take positions in currency derivatives to hedge their exposure to exchange rate risk. Jeff, M. & Roland, F. (2011)

Reserve Bank of India Occasional Papers Vol. 24, No. 3, Winter 2003 Derivatives and Volatility on Indian Stock Markets Snehal Bandivadekar and Saurabh Ghosh * Derivative products like futures and options on Indian stock markets have become important instruments of price discovery, portfolio diversification and risk hedging in recent times. This paper studies the impact of introduction of index futures on spot market volatility on both S&P CNX Nifty and BSE Sensex using ARCH/GARCH technique.

All the Mathematics You Missed Beginning graduate students in mathematics and other quantitative subjects are expected to have a daunting breadth of mathematical knowledge, but few have such a background. This book will help students see the broad outline of mathematics and to fill in the gaps in their knowledge. The author explains the basic points and a few key results of the most important undergraduate topics in mathematics, emphasizing the intuitions behind the subject. The topics include linear

In order to specify the middle layer of an RBF we have to decide the number of neurons of the layer and their kernel functions which are usually Gaussian functions. In this paper we use a Gaussian function as a kernel function. A Gaussian function is specified by its center and width. The simplest and most general method to decide the middle layer neurons is to create a neuron for each training pattern. However the method is usually not practical since in most applications there are a large number

history as well as people’s faces. 2. Prior knowledge helped me learn how to find the partial derivatives of equations. I learned how to find normal derivatives in my Calculus I class and how to find partial derivatives in my Calculus III class. Knowing all the derivative rules from Calculus I made it much easier when having to find partial derivatives

DERIVATIVES IN PAKISTAN In the year of 2001, the derivative products of equity of Pakistan were started in the Stock Exchange of Karachi. In the start of this launching, a single stock of futures was brought for introduction which was deliverable for just one month. It has almost nine years passed after that but this stock market is not considered as much as developed when it is compared to Indian market. The derivates related to finance, and which were traded in terms of exchange were initially

1. 7.5/8 The height in metres of a ball dropped from the top of the CN Tower is given by h(t)= -4.9t2+450, where t is time elapsed in seconds. (a) Draw the graph of h with respect to time (b) Find the average velocity for the first 2 seconds after the ball was dropped h(0)=(0,450), h(2)=(2,430.4) = (430.4-450)/(2-0) = -9.8m/s √ (c) Find the average velocity for the following time intervals (1) 1 ≤ t ≤ 4 h(1)=(1,445.1) h(4)=(4,371.6) = (371.6-445.1)/(4-1) = -24.5m/s √ (2) 1 ≤ t ≤ 2 h(1)=(1,445

Derivative is a complex subject of calculus. In calculus, derivative is a key term developed by both Newton and Leibniz. With function f (t), the first derivative is defined asf^ ' (t)= df/dt= lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(f(t)-f(t-h))/h〗. There is also a second derivative known as second-order derivative. The second-order derivative is defined: f^ ' ' (t)= (d^2 f)/(dt^2 )= lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(f^ ' (t)-f^ ' (t-h))/h〗 =lim┬(h→0)⁡〖1/h {(f(t)-f(t-h))/h- (f(t-h)-f(t-2h))/h}〗 =lim┬(h→0)⁡〖(f(t)-2f(t-h)+f(t-2h))/h^2 〗 (Podlubny

SHIPPING DERIVATIVES (Container Freight Swap Agreement and Freight Options) Introduction Seaborne trade (a business), which carries more than 90% of all world commerce, is a volatile and risky business due to the interplay of demand and supply and it effect on freight rates. The rollercoaster nature of the business especially in respect to freight rates demand that critical attention is payed to the management of risks. In the past decades, freight rates have risen to their highest peaks and
