_____________ %
An investor is considering whether to invest in shares of Stock ABC or risk-free bonds.
The stock pays dividends continuously at a rate of 1%, has an expected annual yield of
9%, and has a volatility of 24%. The continuously compounded risk-free rate is 1.8%.
Assuming that prices for Stock ABC follow a lognormal distribution, calculate the
probability that an investment of X in Stock ABC would be worth less than an
investment of X in risk-free bonds after 5 years. [DM_05c_02]
