Problem 1[50 marks]
Let us consider a continuous time market, where the continuously com-
pounded interest rate isr>0, the risky asset S=(St)0tT follows the Black-
Scholes model with drift and volatility ,so that S follows the dynamic
dSt=Stdt+StdBt
with Brownian motion B.
aStas function of(t,Bt).
bQ denote the (equivalent) risk neutral probability, and BQ
denote the corresponding Brownian motion under Q. Write down the
dynamic ofS under Q, and then give the expression ofStas function of
(t,BtQ).
c1{ST)>K. Compute
the following expectation
EQ[e-rT1{ST)>K].
Warning: Please note the sign difference with the midterm question.
d|ST-K|
(absolute value of the difference), for some constant K>0. Compute the
following expectation
EQ[e-rT|ST-K|]
Note: Please express the above expectation values in terms of the pa-
rameters r,,,T and K. You may use :Rlongrightarrow[0,1]to denote the
cumulative distribution function of the standard Gaussian distribution
N(0,1).
