| katybo | finally Im understanding binomial trees! |
| xyzanand | Life is a binomial tree... |
| octavianus | How do you calculate the call values in general? In this case, how do you determine $99.755 (Up) and $100 (down) for year 1 call values? Please help!!!! |
| mchu | Value at the Node = Min {Value from backward induction, Call price} Call price is par. |
| tabulator | octavianus, take some time reading notes and not jumping straigh to problems |
| rhardin | Yes, the notes were very clear and helpful. Read them. |
| moghizz | read them octavianus! read them! |
| charomano | 99.755 = 0.5*(100+6)/(1+0.06205) + 0.5*(100+6) / (1+0.06205) |
| ukrainia | Octavianus check the notes brah! |
| ybavly | Jeez, Octavianus, it's right there staring at you. Read the notes!! |
| bbadger | If the interest rate is less than the coupon rate, write in the call value. You need a greater than coupon interest rate to discount to less than par value. |
| bbadger | And don't read the notes Octa, in fact I hope at least 65% of you don't study at all. Thanks. |
| thebkr777 | ^LOL @bbadger Level 2 thinking right here |
| davidt876 | ...turns out octa really doesn't have a clue wa gwaan |
I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
