Consider the discrete-time binomial tree model with three periods of length 1, i.e. T = 3 and t = 0, 1, 2, 3. In each period the price can move up or down, St+1 is either uSt or dSt. Assume that the factor for moving up is u = 4/3, the factor for moving down is d = 3/4, and that the interest rate is r = 0.0. The initial stock price is So = 1. (a) Compute the price process (i.e. prices at all times and states) for a European Put option on the stock with strike price K = 1 and maturity T = 3. (x - ž) (b) Compute the price at time t = 0 of the Australian option K with ST K = 1. Note: As this option is path dependent, you will not be able to use the recursive method, nor will you be able to use the CRR formula.

The following information is provided:   The risk-free rate is 2% The expected market returns are 11%   If the beta of an asset changes from 0.8 to 1.5, what is the additional return that  you require on this asset (in %, please round on 2 decimals)?

Asman $9 11 Salinas $30 27 32 36 The rate of return you would have earned on Asman stock from time 1 to time 2 is %. (Round to two decimal places.)

If D0 = $1.75, g (which is constant) = 3.6%, and P0 = $32.00, what is the stock's expected total return for the comingyear?

Suppose the average return on Asset A is 6.6 percent and the standard deviation is 8.6 percent and the average return and standard deviation on Asset B are 3.8 percent and 3.2 percent, respectively. Further assume that the returns are normally distributed. Use the NORMDIST function in Excel® to answer the following questions.    a. What is the probability that in any given year, the return on Asset A will be greater than 11 percent? Less than 0 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. What is the probability that in any given year, the return on Asset B will be greater than 11 percent? Less than 0 percent? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c-1. In a particular year, the return on Asset A was −4.25 percent. How likely is it that such a low return will recur at some point in the future? (Do…
