Myron Tribus

Introduction: On October 14, 1900, William Edwards Deming was born in Sioux City, Iowa. He was the son of a farmer. In 1907 his family moved to Wyoming, to farm land that was part of a government program, but was disappointed because the land was useless for his father’s intentions: farming. His family was very poor. Rarely was there money for heat or food. (Deming: Biography”, 2000). Deming’s parents believed in being educated. He earned a Bachelor’s Degree in electrical engineering from

The Discus Thrower (Discobolus) was made by Myron, sculptor flourished in the late 5th century BCE. Myron is widely admired for his representations of athletes in sculptures. The Discus Thrower shows an athlete in mid-action of throwing a discus. Myron's study of human anatomy leads him to create a masterpiece that elegantly illustrates the muscles and the movements of the human anatomy. The statue is designed on a single plane; which meant it is to be seen from one side only. The smooth texture

model is an ideal method to value Options” The Black Scholes Merton (BSM) model is the best-known model for valuing options as it is the original of many option pricing models today (Haug and Taleb, 2009; Le, 2015). Developed in 1973 by Fisher Black, Myron Scholes and Robert Merton, the BSM model is still widely used today as the benchmark for many models and techniques that financial analysts use to analyse and determine the fair prices of given options (Jumarie, 2010). It is widely used due to its

Introduction. The essay will examine the strengths and weaknesses of the Black-Scholes model by first briefly understanding its birth in an effort to look to the intention on which the model is created to fulfil. This will then form the basis on which it will be assessed upon. Then the essay will examine the model's growth of usage, describe how the model functions and what it is used for, essentially outlining the model's strength. In so doing, the author will strive to highlight the benefits and

Banks are classified as users or non-users of CDS based on a search of their annual reports for information about the use of CDS. To search the reports, I have searched for key terms and expressions that indicate the use of CDS such as CDS, credit default swap, and credit default contract. Appendix (C) shows the complete list of the banks classified as CDS user or CDS non-user, and their market capitalization. The CDS users represent 50% of the sample and the other half are nonuser. The selected

1. Introduction In 1973, Fischer Black, Myron Scholes and Robert Merton derived the Black-Scholes model of modelling derivatives prices for European stock options (Black & Scholes, 1973) and (Merton, 1973). This model has great importance on how traders determine the price and ways to hedge derivatives since the 1970’s (Hull, 2012), and led to other derivative instruments that have similar characteristics to option. Fundamentally, the Black-Scholes model make sure of a simple formula to determine

In finance, a derivative is a financial instrument whose value is derived from one or more underlying assets. An option is a contract which gives the owner the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell the asset at a specified strike price at the specified date. The derivative itself is just a contract between two or more parties. Its value is determined by fluctuations in the value of the underlying asset. This price is chosen so that the value of the contract to both sides is zero at the outset

A Feminist Reading of A&P Gone are the days that humans could live impulsively, only taking physical pain and pleasure into account when making decisions. Or so one would like to believe. In a display of sheer innocence and ignorance, Sammy, a grocery clerk at the A & P, managed to revert back to the original behavior patterns of his ape-like ancestors. One cannot possibly predict the future of Sammy, given his own illogical and irrational behavior. But one can, through a careful examination
