Explanation:
Note that the change in rate is given by the formula stated in the question, i.e.,
However, we have been asked to find the drift of the rate and standard deviation per month, respectively.
The drift to the short-term rate is given by while the standard deviation is given by .
Therefore, and
Ultimate access to all questions.
Q.1655 Because of some limitations of Model 1 (dr = σdw), another new term structure model was introduced and named as Model 2. The new model is written as:
Suppose , , . Given these values, find the drift of the rate and standard deviation per month, respectively.
A
The drift of the rate is 0.239%, and the standard deviation is 0.18% per month.
B
The drift of the rate is 0.239%; and standard deviation is 0.01992% per month.
C
The drift of the rate is 0.01992%, and the standard deviation is 0.35% per month.
D
The drift of the rate is 0.1992%, and the standard deviation is 0.18% per month.
