Assume that you are given the following historical returns for the Market and Security J. Also assume that the expected risk-free rate for the coming year is 4.0 percent, while the expected market risk premium is 15.0 percent. Given this information, determine the required rate of return for Security J for the coming year, using CAPM. Year

Consider the following historical performance data for two different portfolios, the Standard and Poor's 500, and the 90-day T-bill presented below. What is the Fama diversification measure for the Globex Fund? Assume the T-bill rate as the risk- free rate and the S&P return as the market average return. Use at least four decimal places in your calculations, but report your answer in percentage terms rounded to two decimal places.

This section asks you to calculate prices for various options. In all cases, consider a rate r = 7.97% per year. Estimate the volatility of returns using the estimator: 1 n-1 σ²≈ T-t i=0 Si+1 log. Sti 2 The term of each option will be T = 182/360 (half a year). Determine a reasonable strike K, which is at similar levels to the price series you have downloaded. An option is a derivative instrument that gives its holder the right to buy or sell an underlying asset at a pre-agreed price K at a future date T. If this right can only be exercised in time T, we say that the option is of the European type. If it can be exercised at T or at any time prior to T, then we say that the option is American. Likewise, if the option grants the right to buy, we say that the option is Call type, if it grants the right to sell then the option is Puttype. These types of options are the simplest and are known as European vanilla options. In this case, if T is the expiration date of the contract, and St is…
