Nаive Binоmiаl Tree, Risk-Neutrаl Pricing оf a Put оn a T-BillSuppose that the Treasury yield curve today is (rates are semi-annually compounded):6mo1yr2 (0, T)2.50%3.00%You have built a naive binomial tree with semi-annual rates such that:r1, u = 4.00%, r1, d = 2.00,with physical up-probability p = 50% and time step ∆= 0.5.(a) (2 pts) Compute the risk-neutral probability p*on this tree.(b) (3 pts) Consider a European option to sell the current 1y Treasury Bill in 6 months (at which point it will be a 0.5y Bill) for a strike of K = $98.50. What is the price of this option today?(c) (3 pts) Replicate this put today using a 6mo ZCB and a barrier option that pays $1 at t = 0.5 if r2 (0.5, 1) < 3% and $0 otherwise. Solve for the face value N1 (6mo ZCB) and the number N2 of barrier options.
BDT Tree, Americаn Putаble BоndThe semi-аnnually cоmpоunded risk-neutral tree of the BDT model calibrated to the Treasury yieldcurve is i = 0 i = 1 i = 2 r 2 , u u = 12 . 00 % r 1 , u = 6 . 00 % r 0 = 3 . 00 % r 2 , u d = 5 . 00 % r 1 , d = 4 . 25 % r 2 , d d = 3 . 00 % with risk-neutral probabilities of moving up and down equal to 50% and time interval betweenperiods of 6 months ( Δ = 0 . 5 ) Consider a 1.5-year Treasury note with face value $100, a 4% semi-annual coupon (so each coupon payment equals $2), and a put feature that allows the investor to sell the note back to the issuer at par (K = 100) at any time, i.e. today (i = 0) or at any coupon date after the coupon is paid (i = 1 and i = 2).(a) (2 pts) Compute the ex-coupon price of the straight (non-putable) note at every node i = 1, and i = 0. The ex-coupon prices at i=2 are given for you below:P2,uu=1021+0.12/2=1021.06=96.2264,P2,ud=1021+0.05/2=1021.025=99.5122,P2,dd=1021+0.03/2=1021.015=100.4926.(b) (2 pts) Is it optimal to put the note at i = 2? Provide calculations and explain.(c) (4 pts) Is it optimal to put the note at i = 1? Provide calculations and explain.(d) (2 pts) Compute the price of the embedded put option at t = 0, and the price of the putable note.
