This question assumes the standard mean-variance utility function. You are allocating your investments between a the NZX50 and a holding of (New Zealand) T-bills. The expected return on the NZX50 is 7.50%, with volatility 12.80%. In contrast, there is no risk investing in T-bills, and they will earn you a return of 4.70%. Your risk-aversion is 7. What percentage of your wealth should you allocate to Treasury bills? 34.61% 96.88% 96.51% 75.59%
D (Solving a comprehensive problem) Use the end-of-year stock price data in the popup window, E, to answer the following questions for the Harris and Pinwheel companies. a. Compute the annual rates of return for each time period and for both firms. b. Calculate both the arithmetic and the geometric mean rates of return for the entire three-year period using your annual rates of return from part a. (Note: you may assume that neither firm pays any dividends.) c. Compute a three-year rate of return spanning the entire period (i.e., using the ending price for period 1 and ending price for period 4). d. Since the rate of return calculated in part c is a three-year rate of return, convert it to an annual rate of return by using the following equation: W S J-(₁. 1+ e. How is the annual rate of return calculated in part d related to the geometric rate of return?

This section asks you to calculate prices for various options. In all cases, consider a rate r = 7.97% per year. Estimate the volatility of returns using the estimator: 1 n-1 σ²≈ T-t i=0 Si+1 log. Sti 2 The term of each option will be T = 182/360 (half a year). Determine a reasonable strike K, which is at similar levels to the price series you have downloaded. An option is a derivative instrument that gives its holder the right to buy or sell an underlying asset at a pre-agreed price K at a future date T. If this right can only be exercised in time T, we say that the option is of the European type. If it can be exercised at T or at any time prior to T, then we say that the option is American. Likewise, if the option grants the right to buy, we say that the option is Call type, if it grants the right to sell then the option is Puttype. These types of options are the simplest and are known as European vanilla options. In this case, if T is the expiration date of the contract, and St is…
