23) The following products are available in the financial market. • Zero-coupon bonds of face value £100 expiring in 1 year, that are worth £90 today. Coupon bonds of face value £1,000 expiring in 1 year, paying monthly coupons of £20. • Shares linked to postal services having value today of £16, whose yearly return can be modelled using a binomial model having yearly returns K = 0.20 and Kd = -0.05 with probabilities p = 0.4 and q = 0.6, respectively. Forward contracts based on the risky assets stated above. Assume that the return on risk-free assets stays constant in time. 23) The following products are available in the financial market. • Zero-coupon bonds of face value £100 expiring in 1 year, that are worth £90 today.
