Value of a Right [LO4] Show that the value of a right just prior to expiration can be written as:
where PRO, PS, and PX stand for the rights-on price, the subscription price, and the ex-rights price, respectively, and N is the number of rights needed to buy one new share at the subscription price.

- 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)?

Question: Given the formula for the CD = f/e -1+ (iuk - ius) = 0, if e = 2, f = 2.5, iuk = 0.10 and ius= 0.08, the covered interest differential (CD) requires that O a. f1 ; et; iusl; iuk!

- a) Let VK(t, T) be the value of a forward contract on an asset with delivery price K, VK(t, T) = (F(t, T) − K)e −r(T −t) . a) Verify that VK(T, T) equals the payout of a forward contract with delivery price K. For an asset that pays no income, substitute the expression for its forward price into the above equation and give an intuitive explanation for the resulting expression. b) Suppose at time t0 you go short a forward contract on an asset that pays no income with maturity T (and with delivery price equal to the forward price). At time t, t0 < t < T, suppose both the price of the asset and interest rates are unchanged. How much money have you made or lost? This is sometimes called the carry of the trade.arrow_forwardSuppose that we can describe the world using two states and that two assets are available, asset K an asset L. We assume the asset’s future prices have the following distribution Suppose that we can describe the world using two states and that two assets are available, asset K an asset L. We assume the asset’s future prices have the following distribution state 1 Future Price Asset K $55 $45 2. Future Price Asset L $60 $30 The current price of asset K is $50, and the current price of asset L is $50. What are the values of the unit claims (C1 and C2)? What is the risk free rate implied by these assets? What is the “risk neutral probability” of state 1? What is the “risk neutral probability” of state 2? What is the price implied for an asset providing $100 in state 1 and $50 in state 2? You plan to buy a home for $100,000 in the future.You want to guarantee that you will have the money.What would you buy/sell today to accomplish this, and what…arrow_forwardConsider the following contingent claim whose value at maturity date T is given by f(T,Sp) = min(Sr S;) where T, is some intermediate betweent (current time) and T (maturity date). Sr, and Sr denote the prices of the underlying asset at time To and time T respectively. We assume that the asset is non-dividend paying and its asset price satisfies dS; = uS,dt + oS,dW, with u = 0.05, a = 0.2. The riskfree interest rate is 6% per annum. Take t = 0, T, = 0.5 and T = 1.5. The current price of the asset is So = $25. (a) Calculate the price of the contingent claim at time Ta using replication technique. Express your answer in terms of ST.. (©Hint: The value of S, is known at time To. To find the price, treat T, as the "current time"). (b) Using the result of (a), find the current price of this contingent claim using risk neutral valuation principlearrow_forward

Option 1: Hydro Ottawa will make the upgrades themselves. This is expected to cost $12,700 at the end of each month for 12 years. At the end of the operation (in 12 years) Hydro Ottawa expects to sell all equipment needed for the upgrade for $122,000. Option 2: Pay experienced contractors. This will cost $28,000 up front and $13,900 monthly (at the end of every month) for 15 years. Assume all interest is 3.72% compounded monthly. Round the answers to NPV (Option 1), and NPV (Option 2) to the nearest dollar.
