Question 1

from a given risk neutral tree can you compute the mar- ket participants' expectation on the level of interest rates in the future? Explain.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 2

What values can a one year zero coupon bond take at t =0.5?

Accepted Answer

It can be ...

Question 3

What is risk neutral pricing?

Accepted Answer

Risk neutral pricing means to deliberately modify the probabilities on a tree or model, in order to set the market price of risk to zero. This simpliﬁes the calcualations made when pricing securities.

Question 4

Assuming that there is a risk premium in the market (people worry about risk and expect to be compensated for it), is risk neutral probability for an up state (high interest rates) higher, lower or the same as the risk natural probability?

Accepted Answer

Risk neutral probabilities tend to be hi...

Question 5

Using risk neutral pricing obtain the value for a European option on inter- est rates with maturity at t =0.5, rK =1.5% and payo?: 100 × max(rt ? rK, 0).

Question 9

For pricing purposes how important is it to know the true probabilities?

Accepted Answer

It is not important to know the true probabilities, as long as they are consistent. This is shown by the fact the we use risk neutral probabilities to price, knowing that they are not the true (risk natural) probabilities.
