Suppose each round costs $1.00 at a slot machine on which you can win $2.00 with probability p = 40%. You start playing with $10.00 and decide that you will keep playing until you either double your wealth (that is, earn another $10.00) or run out of money. What is the probability that you run out of money? (Remember: You do not need to simplify your answer.)

A$100 million interest rate swap has a remaining life of 10 months. under the terms of the swap, the six-month libor is exchanged semi-annually for 12% per annum. the six-month libor rate in swaps of all maturities is currently 10% per annum with continuous compounding. the six-month libor rate was 9.6% per annum two months ago. what is the current value of the swap to the party paying floating? what is its value to the party paying fixed?
