Answer Keys







  • Please notice the formating on our worksheets.  Everything is clear and neat
    Input cells are clearly marked in green.  Target cells are coded red.  The
    number of decimal places is similar for numbers in a column.  You may think
    the formatting requests are a bit over the top.  But, the fact that we can all easily
    follow the posted screenshots shows there is value in formatting.




The final exam is from 2:00pm to 5:00pm
Both sections will take the final at this time


Help and hints:


  • Know how to simulate stock prices.
    Make sure your Monte Carlo pricing model
    can get option prices close to Black-Scholes
    values (for European-type options).

  • We have done two exercises on loans/bonds.
    Make sure you know bond basics such as:
    - How to calculate the price of a bond
    - What is the YTM?
    - What are coupon payments?
