Assuming two risk-free rates for lending and borrowing in the market: r(f) and r(b). Suppose your utility function is described by U = E(r) - 0.5A xo² with A> 0, and you are combining the risk-free asset with the optimal risky asset to maximize the utility. Consider the following two situations: 1. Suppose r(b) = r(f): you form the optimal complete portfolio C1 by borrowing money at r(f) and invest y1 (i.e., y1 represents portfolio weight) in the optimal risky portfolio (P1). Your utility score under this situation is denoted as U1; II. Suppose r(b) >r(f): you form another optimal complete portfolio C2 by borrowing money at r(b) and invest y2 (1.e., y2 represents portfolio weight) in the optimal risky portfolio (P2). Your utility score under this situation is denoted as U2. For simplicity, let's assume the optimal risky portfolios under these two situations are the same (i.e., E(P1)=E(P2) and o(P1) = o(P2)). What are the relationship between y1 and y2, U1 and U2: O a. y1=y2 and U1=U2 O…
Consider 1-factor model and assume that the price of a certain fixed income security P(y) for y=9%, 9.05% and 8.95% is given by P(0.09)=$5,000; P(0.0905)=$4,980; P(0.0895)=$5,030. Find the estimate for DV01, Duration, and Convexity of this security. Keep at least 4 decimal digits while performing your calculations.

5. (Replicating strategy for pricing) To price a derivative, we can use risk-neutral pricing. As an alternative yet equivalent method, we can construct price the derivative using replicating strategies. Consider a 1-period binomial model, where we have three nodes No.0, N1.0, N1.1. We have a cash account with fixed interest rate r = 0.01 - that is, if we have at No.0 cash account with D dollars, we expect (1+ r)D at either N1.0 or N1.1. We also have a stock with price S0.0 10 at No,0, S1,0 = 8 at N1,0 and S1,1 = 15 at N1,1. Now consider an European call option at time t = 1 with strike K = 12. Can you price the option at No.0 using a replicating strategy, and what is the price? Please submit your answer rounded to only one decimal digit - for example if your answer is 1.28, then submit 1.3. If your answer is 1.12, submit 1.1.
Assume that security returns are generated by the single-index model,Ri = αi + βiRM + eiwhere Ri is the excess return for security i and RM is the market’s excess return. The risk-free rate is 2%. Suppose also that there are three securities A, B, and C, characterized by the following data: Security βi E(Ri) σ(ei) A 0.7 7 % 20 % B 0.9 9 6 C 1.1 11 15 a. If σM = 16%, calculate the variance of returns of securities A, B, and C. b. Now assume that there are an infinite number of assets with return characteristics identical to those of A, B, and C, respectively. What will be the mean and variance of excess returns for securities A, B, and C? (Enter the variance answers as a percent squared and mean as a percentage. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)
A forward contract has an underlying asset which, in Cox-RossRubenstein notation, has S=22,u=1.2 and d=0.9. This forward contract matures in one time step and the return over this time step is R=1.02. Assuming the forward price is calculated rationally, what is the value of the forward at node (1,1)? (Give your answer as a positive number.)
Consider the following payoff table: DA: Decision Alternative. Decision Alternative Good Bad Probabilities State of Nature 0.6 DA1 -3.22 DA2 13.80 DA3 3.75 DA4 4.06 6.33 What is the Expected value under perfect Information (EVUPI)? (Please keep 2 decimals for your answer) Your Answer: Answer 0.4 5.21 -5.40 6.00
Given the utility function U = E(r) Ac€?o 0.5AA?A?2 and the fact that T-bill offer a risk-free rate of 4%, what is the minimum value for the risk-aversion coefficient A where an investor prefers the T-bills to an investment returning 10% with a standard deviation of 18%? (Hint: T-bills are risk-free)
Suppose you have the follow information about Intrinsic Co. and the market. What is the Beta of Intrinsic Co.? Probability 0.48 0.35 0.17 a) 1.39 Ob) 1.13 c) 1.00 d) 1.26 Intrinsic Co. Returns 15.4% 17.9% 21.5% Market Returns 9.1% 10.8% 13.5%
Suppose the nominal rate of return is 0.085 and the risk-free rate is 0.010. What is the risk premium? Instruction: Round to two decimal places. E.g., if your answer is 0.0106465 or 1.06465%, you should type ONLY the number .01, neither 0.0106465, 0.0106, nor 1.065. Otherwise, Blackboard will treat it as a wrong answer.
Refer to the following payoff table (values are profit): State of Nature Alternative S1 S2 A1 75 −40 A2 0 100 Prior Probability 0.6 0.4 What is the expected payoff of the decision strategy (i.e. using the EMV/EP criterion)?
