QUESTION 40 There are two states of the world. In state 1, you get $100. In state 2, you get $50. Assuming rationality, and the expected return is $87.50, what is the probability state 1 occurs? 0.25 O 0.5 0.75 0 1 QUESTION 41 What is the value of information in a world of uncertainty? The decrease in the certainty equivalent The gain in profit from selling more units The increase in expected utility from a changed decision based on...
The current price of a stock is $31.50 per share, and six-month European call options on the stock with a strike price of $32.50 are currently trading at $3.60. An investor, who has $10,000 of capital to invest, believes that the price of the stock will increase by 20% over the next six months. The investor is trying to decide between two strategies - buying shares or buying call options. What return will each strategy produce after six months, if...
Suppose that there are two possible states of the economy, A and B, in year T. A stock's price in year T will depend on the economic state as in the table below. A risk-free bond currently sells for $8 and it will pay $10 in year T in every state. State A State B stock $150 $80 bond $10 $10 In addition, we also see a year-T European call option on the stock above. The call has the strike...

4. Consider a portfolio consisting of 6 stocks and 10 put options on the stocks. The current stock price is So = 100 and the stike price of the options is X = 100. The stock price can take on only two values at maturity T given by Su = 120 and Sd = 90. The risk-free rate is given by 5%. (a) What is the payoff at maturity of the portfolio? (b) Calculate the "Delta"...
Consider an economy with two dates (t=0,1) and at t=1 there are three states. The following three stocks are traded: X1=(10,0,30) X2=(0,20,40) X3=(20,20,0) The t=0 prices of these stocks are given as follows (P1, P2, P3)=(12, 14, 8). (a) Is there an arbitrage? Suppose an investment firm sells options. (b) What is the t=0 price (premium) of a call option on stock 2 with exercise price E=10? (c) What is the t=0 price (premium) of a put option on stock...
There are two stocks in a portfolio and two possible states of economy that may occur. The relevant information is summarized as follows (the given information is the same as in the previous question): Stock return if a certain state of economy occurs State of Economy Probability Stock 1 Stock 2 Good 0.50 8% 15% Bad 0.50 4% -7% Initial Investments $6,000 $4,000 What is the expected return on this portfolio? OA) 10.4% O B) 3.6 C) 5.2% OD 8.8
1. Consider an Arrow-Debreu model with 2 periods (1 and 2) and 2 states of the world (1 and 2) in period 2. The home agent has income Y1 = 0, Y2(1) 200, Y2(2) = 50; the probabilities for the different states are π(1) and π(2) = 름 . Th = 100,坋(1) 0,坋(2) = 0; the probabilities for the different states are (1)and *(2) foreign agents have utility function: Ui In(G) +r(1) In(C (1)) + π(2) In(C(2)). Further assume that...
2. The returns of two stocks and one bond in 4 possible states of economies are given below. Probability Stock A Stock B Bond C Recession 10% -25% -10% 5% Normal-bad 30% -5% 1% 5% Normal-good 40% 10% 6% 3% Boom 20% 30% 9% 1% (1) What is expected return and the standard deviation of the three assets? (2) What are the pairwise correlations among the 3 assets (i.e., PA " A .- 400 mt nl A 20% stock Band...
Consider a molecule that can be in one of two different conformation states A or B. These states are two different arrangements of the atoms: e.g., in state B, one part of the molecule could be rotated about a bond with respect to the rest of the molecule. Assume the energies of states A and B are 4e-21 and 8e-21 J respectively. At room temperature, T = 298 K, what is the relative likelihood of the molecule being found in...
