A geological engineer has the job of designing mines to remove minerals (like metals and coal) in a safe and efficient way to use in utilities and manufacturing. These engineers also draw up technical reports for other engineers, managers, and miners.
DISCRETE DIVIDENDS IN EQUITY DERIVATIVES. One of the complications in equity derivative modelling is how to treat dividends. One of the complications in equity derivative modelling is how to treat dividends. On dividend payout, or ex div, dates, the underlying spot drops by the dividend amount, ignoring tax. This introduces discrete deterministic jumps into the geometric Brownian process assumed within the Black-Scholes framework. The underlying stochastic process in the presence of discrete dividend can be expressed as:
Dividends definition. Dividends are a portion of a company's earnings which it returns to investors, usually as a cash payment. This may be the primary source of income for investors. A more mature company that does not need its cash reserves to fund additional growth is the most likely to issue dividends to its investors.
