    Hi Nicole, I just click on the link and I find out that the mock is available even if I have just the free acount. Though, I did not do this mock as I just discover it. May be a bug in your system that allow free user to access the mock? You can see attached a print screen.

    Yes it was the same question (same parameters) but for one, a sqrt was needed for volatility calculation.

    I do remember less than 15. Moreover, the probability than the stock price decreased less than 40 is 100% because less than 40 means decrease will be between 40% and 0%. But if decrease is less than 40% but above 15%, then the probability would be 62.5%. If the decrease is less than 15 (ie 15%...

    Was the number 15 stated as stock price or a decline yield? If it's a decline yield, 62.5 would be the correct answer. But if it's a stock price, I would assume 0 and 40 are the stock price range possibility and then 37.5 would be correct. Otherwise, I find the question too much tricky.

    For me, this is a uniform probability distribution : 3.Price declined from 0 to 40 linearly Ask : Probability( 15 or less is stockprice)= 62.XX P = (15 - 0) / (40 - 0) = 0.357

    I had also the blue book but I did not pay attention if it was stock or future. But I am afraid it was a future as the price range was near 3000 (as I see on this thread). That said, I don’t remember if the price was really around 3000 or not.

    As I remember it asked the disadvantages of ccp, especially when a party has the less incentive to monitor the risk of another party because of the ccp taking the risk. I answered moral hazard

    Was the binomial question related to a future but not stock? The risk neutral probability up should that case equal to (1 - D)/(U - D). I was trapped by the stress alhough I know it. This exam was really tricky.

    I remember the question said price is expected to go 40% under price 1 or 40% above price 2. I consider these 2 prices as 2 strikes. I consider also 40% is a substantial move. That's why I chose strangle.

    The same! I spent too much time on it. I did not want to give up as I told myself this is very very straightforward question. But no, I could not get the answer too. I really think there is may be an error in that question.

    [Ke^(-Rf*t)]*[N(-d2)]-[(S-PV(Dividend))*N(-d1)] That is what I would have done. Only the stock price is impacted by the dividend. Since the dividend is not a Yield, its PV should be substracted to the Stock price. Or you have to calculate the equivalent Yield and in this case, the formula...
