5. Let I (T) be survival indicator function, B(t, T) be the timet price of a default free bond price maturing at T and B (t, T) be the timet price of the defaultable counterpart with zero recovery rate. Let P(t, T) be the implied survival probability over [t, T]. (a) Show that B(t, T) P(t,T) = E[I(T)] 2 BE, T). What is the assumption required in order to obtain the above relation?

Express PU, T) in terms of an integral involving f(t,u) and f(t,u), t S a S T. [3]
