A major subsidiary ofthe company is based in Germany and receives euro-denominated payments. The current price on the bond is 80 with a 20% probability of default. The anticipated recoverate is 60%. Which of the following statements is correct? Assume the interest rate is

  A. Market in such options is very illiquid.
  B. Value changes dramatical1y at the barrier point.
  c. Black-Scholes model does not apply to pricing such options.
  D. Gamma of the option continually varies throughout the range of relevant strikes.
  Answer:
  1.B
  In the event of default. the most that the buyer of a credit default swap can receive is the par value of the instrument.
  2.D
  The company faces right-way risk since the euro exposure is partially hedged (it pays euros on its debt but receives euros from sales).
  risk-neutral mean loss rate = 1-80 1100 = 20%
  mean loss rate = PD LGD = (0.2) (1-0.6) = 8%
  3.B
  The value relationship is discontinuous near the barrier, so hedge ratios are very unstable at that level.
