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
Future Price Asset K
Future Price Asset L
1
$55
$60
2
$45
$30
The current price of asset K is $50, and the current price of asset L is $50.
5. 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 would it cost today?
This question will compare two different arbitrage situations. Recall that arbitrage should equalize rates of return. We want to explore what this implies about equalizing prices. In the first situation, two assets, A and B, will each make a single guaranteed payment of $100 in 1 year. But asset A has a current price of $80 while asset B has a current price of $90.a. Which asset has the higher expected rate of return at current prices? Given their rates of return, which asset should investors be buying and which asset should they be selling?b. Assume that arbitrage continues until A and B have the same expected rate of return. When arbitrage ceases, will A and B have the same price?Next, consider another pair of assets, C and D. Asset C will make a single payment of $150 in one year while D will make a single payment of $200 in one year. Assume that the current price of C is $120 and that the current price of D is $180.c. Which asset has the higher expected rate of return at current…
What is the value of the abandonment option (in millions), in the question below? Round your answer to two decimal places... Sunshine Smoothies Company (SSC) manufactures and distributes smoothies.It is considering the introduction of a "weight loss" smoothie.The project would require a $4 million investment outlay today (t = 0).The after-tax cash flows would depend on whether the weight loss smoothie is well received by consumers.There is a 30% chance that demand will be good, in which case the project will produce after-tax cash flows of $2 million at the end of each of the next 3 years.There is a 70% chance that demand will be poor, in which case the after-tax cash flows will be $1 million for 3 years.The project is riskier than the firm's other projects, so it has a WACC of 12%.The firm will know if the project is successful after receiving first year's cash flows.After receiving the first year's cash flows it will have the option to abandon the project.If the firm decides to…

- Q. A friend of yours tells you she holds an American call option that is very deep-in-the-money. She tells you she’s going to exercise it now and cash in on her winnings. Is this a wise move to make? - The answer to this question is given below but I don't understand the explanation, please clearly explain in simple terms. No, she should sell it. Sell now you get intrinsic value PLUS time value, rather than exercise now which leads to just S-X.arrow_forward3. An investor plans to buy a property. She has two options for loans: (1) Loan balance=10, maturity=10 years, interest rate=1%; (2) Loan balance=20, maturity=10 years, interest rate=2%. The incremental (or marginal) borrowing cost by choosing the option (2), instead of the option (1), is approximately x%. Calculate the value of x.arrow_forwardYou have the opportunity to make an investment that costs $1.000,000. If you make this investment now, you will receive $250,000 one year from today, $200,000, $150,000 and $ 400,000 two and three years from today, respectively. The appropriate discount rate for thisinvestment is 11 percent. .a. Should you make the investment?b. What is the net present value (NPV) of this opportunity?c. If the discount rate is 10 percent, should you invest? Compute the NPV to support youranswer.arrow_forward
