Transcribed Image Text:5)
Suppose that there is a bank that is ordering to lend and/or borrow money at an interest rate of
8% (regardless of the time-to-maturity of the loan). Further suppose that there is a two-year coupon
bond trading with a face value of $100 and a coupon rate of 5% trading in the market. Price the bond
using an explicit no-arbitrage argument.
Answer:
=$5/(1+0.08)^1+($5+$100)/(1+0.08)^2
=$94.65
The price of the bond using an explicit no-arbitrage argument is $94.65
6)
Suppose that the bond in the previous question is actually trading for $92. Show how you could
exploit the mispricing to make an arbitrage profit.
Answer: As we know that if trading price 92 is lower and current price is higher 94.65 as per calculation
then there is a chance to increase the trading price therefore investor can make arbitrage profit.
7)
Suppose that the bank from the previous question is still around. Consider a gold mine that will
produce annual cash flows of $100 (with certainty) for five years starting in two years, i.e. from t = 2 to t
= 6. What is the arbitrage-free price of the gold mine?
