View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】A

【analysis】

A is correct. Forward rate agreements are forward contracts that conceptually allow lenders to lock in a fixed payment on a future investment by receiving a known payment and making an unknown payment that offsets the unknown future interest payment.

B is incorrect. This does not offset the unknown interest payment in the future and thus does not lock in a rate.

C is incorrect. Making a fixed payment and receiving a variable payment looks in a borrowing rate in a forward rate agreement.

【Answer to question 2】A

【analysis】

A is correct. The volatility of the underlying is captured in the binomial model by the difference between the up and down factors.

B is incorrect. The moneyness of an option is given by the difference between price of the underlying and exercise price.

C is incorrect. The difference between the up and down factors is only one part (the denominator) of the formula for the pseudo probabilities.
