A hedge fund with net asset value of $54 per share currently has a high water mark of $57. Suppose it is January 1, the standard deviation of the fund's annual returns is 40%, and the risk-free rate is 2%. The fund has an incentive fee of 20%. Required: a. What is the value of the annual incentive fee according to the Black-Scholes formula? (Do not round intermediate caiculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Annual incentive fee b. What would the annual incentive fee be worth if the fund had no high water mark and it earned its incentive fee on its total return? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Annual incentive fee c. What would the annual incentive fee be worth if the fund had no high water mark and it earned its incentive fee on its return in excess of the risk-free rate? (Treat the risk-free rate as a continuously compounded value to maintain consistency with the Black- Scholes formula.) (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

D3) You manage three funds: a Stock Fund (r 15%, sigma 32%), a Bond Fund (r 9%, sigma 23%) and a T-Bill Fund (risk-free rate 5.5%). The correlation coefficient between the two risky funds is 0.15. The Optimal Risky Portfolio has an expected return of 12.88% and a sigma of 23.34%. You have a client who would like to have a return of 11% for her Total Portfolio. You recommend a mix of the Optimal Risky Portfolio and the T-Bill Fund, but she wonders if she could also achieve that return only using your two risky funds. How much additional Volatility will she have to endure if she avoids your recommendation?
