Easy question on stochastic process

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the stochastic process followed by the ratio A/B, where A and B are modeled using geometric Brownian motion. The equations provided are dA/A = a*dt + b*dzA and dB/B = c*dt + d*dzB, with dzA*dzB = e*dt. To derive the stochastic process for A/B, one must apply Itô's Lemma, which is essential for handling the dynamics of functions of stochastic processes.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of geometric Brownian motion
  • Familiarity with Itô's Lemma
  • Knowledge of Wiener processes
  • Basic concepts of stochastic calculus
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of Itô's Lemma in stochastic calculus
  • Explore the properties of geometric Brownian motion in financial modeling
  • Research the implications of stochastic processes in ratio analysis
  • Learn about the correlation between multiple Wiener processes
USEFUL FOR

Students and professionals in finance, quantitative analysts, and researchers interested in stochastic processes and their applications in modeling financial instruments.

Suppose that A and B follow geometric brownian motion, where zA, and zB follow wiener process
dA/A=a*dt+b*dzA
dB/B=c*dt+d*dzB
dzA*dzB=e*dt
What stochastic process does A/B follow?

This is not a homework question(I am sure it's almost trivially easy to those who learned the stuff). I am very new to the stuff and would anyone be kind enough to show me the result and derivation?

I have browsed through textbooks yet none of them have a similar example.
