Chapter 17, Problem 10PS

Consider a stock that will pay a dividend of D dollars in one year, which is when a futures contract matures. Consider the following strategy: Buy the Stock, short a futures contract on the stock, and borrow S 0 dollars, where S 0 is the current price of the stock. LO 17 3
a. What are the cash flows now and in one year? (Hint: Remember the dividend the
stock will pay.)
b. Show that the equilibrium futures price mum be F o = S 0 ( 1 + r ) D to avoid arbitrage.
c. Call the dividend yield d = D / S 0 , and conclude that F 0 = S 0 ( 1 + r d ) .

Consider a two period economy. You can buy stocks in period 0, and then sell them in period 1. You can also enter into futures contracts in period 0, which expire in period 1.  Suppose a stock has a β of 0.5. The stock pays no dividends, and is trading at $100. The market has an expected return of 10%. The interest rate is 2%. Suppose the CAPM holds. What is the stock’s expected return? What is the expected price of the stock in period 1? Consider a futures contract on the stock, expiring at t = 1. What is the fair price of the futures contract, in t = 1 dollars? Suppose you take a long position in the futures contract in period 0 (so, you promise to pay money, in exchange for getting the stock in period 1). When the futures contract expires in period 1, you receive the stock and immediately sell it. What is the expected amount you will pay in money for the stock? What is the expected amount you get from selling the stock? Since buying single-stock futures appears to be a fairly…
A call option has X=$52 and expire in 360 days (suppose we have 360 days in one year). The risk-free rate is 4%. The call is priced at $11. A put option has X-$52 and is priced at $1. The underlying asset is priced at S0=$43. Suppose in our investments, we could involve one call, one put, one bond, and on stock. How much arbitrage profit could we possibly obtain?
Consider a stock with a current price of $15 that will be worth either $10 or $25 1 year from now. Assume rf = 0% (annual compounding). You have invented a new derivative security called an "inverse", whose payoff in 1 year is 100 divided by the stock price, i.e., payoff =100/S1 . If the beta of the stock is 1.2, what is the beta of this new derivative?
