1 MATH307/37 FINANCIAL MATHEMATICS TUTORIAL PROBLEMS School of Mathematics and Statistics Semester, 04
2 Tutorial problems should be used to test your mathematical skills and understanding of the lecture material. Some of these problems are similar to those appearing on the assignments and final examination. The weekly onehour tutorial sessions give you an opportunity to work on these problems with the help of a tutor and to ask any questions you may have. Needless to say that there is a big difference between understanding someone else s answer to a question and being able to produce your own solution. It is very tempting to just read the question and then immediately view the answer, but that is not the best way to use these problems. You are strongly encouraged to first try to solve the problems by yourself and then use the answers to check your work.

Exercise The joint probability density function f (X,Y ) of random variables X and Y is given by f (X,Y ) (x, y) = y e x/y e y, (x, y) R +, and f (X,Y ) (x, y) = 0 otherwise. (a) Check that f (X,Y ) is a two-dimensional probability density function. (b) Show that E P (X Y = y) = y for all y R +. Exercise 3 Let X be a random variable uniformly distributed over (0, ). Compute the conditional expectation E P (X X < /). Exercise 4 Let X be an exponentially distributed random variable with parameter λ > 0, that is, with the probability density function f X (x) = λ e x λ for all x > 0. Compute the conditional expectation E P (X X > ). Exercise We assume that P(X = ±) = /4, P(X = ±) = /4 and we set Y = X. Check whether the random variables X and Y are correlated and/or dependent. Exercise 6 (MATH37) Let U and V have the same probability distribution and let X = U + V and Y = U V. Examine the correlation and independence of the random variables X and Y (provide relevant examples).

Exercise What is the price at time 0 of a contingent claim represented by the payoff h(s ) = S? Give at least two explanations. Exercise Give a proof of the put-call parity relationship. Exercise 3 Compute the hedging strategies for the European call and the European put in Examples.. and... Exercise 4 Consider the elementary market model with the following parameters: r =, S 4 0 =, u = 3, d =, p = 4. Compute the price of the digital 3 call option with strike price K and the payoff function given by {, if S K, h(s ) = 0, otherwise. Exercise Prove that the condition d < + r < u implies that there is no arbitrage in the elementary market model. Exercise 6 (MATH36) Under the assumptions of Section., show that there exists a random variable Z such that the price x of a claim h(s ) can be computed using the formula x = E P (Zh(S )) where the expectation is taken under the original probability measure P. A random variable Z is then called a pricing kernel (note that it does not depend on h). Hint: You may use the fact that the probability measures P and P are equivalent.

It is assumed throughout that a process X is adapted to the filtration F. (a) Assume that X has independent increments with respect to F, meaning that for any t = 0,,... the increment X t+ X t is independent of the σ-field F t. Show that the process Y given by the formula Y t := X t E P (X t ), t = 0,,..., is a martingale with respect to the filtration F. (b) Let A 0 = 0 and for t = 0,,... A t+ A t = E P (X t+ X t F t ).

(b) We assume that the process Ŷt := X t Ât for t = 0,,... is a martingale where the process  satisfies:  0 = 0 and Ât+ is F t - measurable for every t = 0,,...

14 (c) Assume that a process X = (X t, t = 0,,..., T ) represents a gamble, meaning here that if the game is played at time t then the (positive or negative) reward at time t + per one unit of the bet equals X t+ X t. The random amount of the size of a bet is given by an arbitrary F- adapted process H called a gambling strategy. The profits/losses after t rounds of the game when a gambling strategy H is followed are given by the following equality (by convention, G 0 = 0) t G t := H u (X u+ X u ). u=0 Note that one does not pay any fee for the right to play the game X. By definition, we say that the game X is fair if there is no gambling strategy H such that E P (G t ) 0 for some t T. (c) Show that the game is fair if and only if X is a martingale with respect to the filtration F. (c) Consider a general F-adapted process X. Argue that the game will become a fair game if the player is required to pay at time t the fee A t+ A t per one unit of the bet where A is an F-predictable process satisfying equality (). 3
