Question:

Using the Merton jump formula, generate an implied volatility plot for K = 50, 55, . . . 150.
a. How is the implied volatility plot affected by changing αJ to−0.40 or−0.10?
b. How is the implied volatility plot affected by changing λ to 0.01 or 0.05?
c. How is the implied volatility plot affected by changing σJ to 0.10 or 0.50?
As a base case, assume S = $100, r = 8%, σ = 30%, T = 1, and δ = 0. Also assume that λ = 0.02, αJ =−0.20, and σJ = 0.30.
