3. A market consists of two risky assets and no risk-free asset. Let R₁ and R₂ denote the return on each of the risky assets. Using market data the following have been estimated: E[R₁] = 0.10, E[R₂] = 0.15, o² = Var(R₁) = 0.1², o² = Var(R₂) = 0.2² and p1,2 = -1/2 where P1,2 denotes the correlation coefficient for R₁ and R₂. (i) Given that an investor is targeting a total expected return of portfolio, what is the minimum variance that can be achieved? = 0.125 on a (ii) Determine the global minimum variance portfolio and the expected return and variance of return on this portfolio. (iii) Using your answers to parts (i) and (ii) make a rough sketch of the minimum- variance set in - o2 space. You should indicate the efficient frontier and the global minimum variance portfolio. (iv) Without further calculation, explain how you would expect the variance of return calculated in (ii) to change if the two risky assets were independent.
Assume that the variables I, N, and PV represent the interest rate, investment or deposit period, and present value of the amount deposited or invested, respectively. Which equation best represents the calculation of a future value (FV) using: Compound interest? O FV = PV / (1+1)N O FV = PV + (PV XIX N) O FV = PV x (1 + I)N Simple interest? OFV = PV + (PV XIX N) O FV = PV XIX N O FV = PV/(PV XIX N)

2. The following table gives information on the return and variance of assets A and B, whose covariance is 0.0003: A B 0} 0,0009 0,0012 E (R₂) 0,05 0,06 a. Does the portfolio (1/3 of A and 2/3 of B) dominate the portfolio (2/3 of A and 1/3 of B)? b. Does the portfolio (1/2, 1/2) belong to the efficient frontier? c. If there were the possibility of lending and borrowing at 2%, would the portfolio (1/2, 1/2) belong to the new efficient frontier?
n is the number of periods of an investment, PV is the starting value, FVn is the future value n periods ahead, and ^ means 'to the power of'. What is the correct formula for calculating return? a)(PV/FVn)^n - 1 b)(FVn/PV)^n c)1 - (FVn/PV)^n d)(FVn/PV)^n - 1

Suppose the market risk premium is 6.7% and the risk-free interest rate is 4.9%. Calculate the cost of capital of investing in a project with a beta of 1.3. Question content area bottom Part 1 The cost of capital is enter your response here%. (Round to two decimal places.)
How would I do the same calculation if Beta is 1.2? That would be 1-1.2= -0.2 invested in the money market. How does that make sense?
4. Valuation of a Derivative Consider a derivative on a stock with the time to expiration T and the following payoff: 0 K₁ 0 if ST K₁. What is the present value of the derivative? Provide an analytic expression of the price using N(), the cumulative probability distribution function of a standard normal random variable.
Figure 2 (a) Financial engineering deals with the design of new assets. Draw the payoff (at t=1) of the following butterfly spread: payoff of portfolio Purchase 1 call with exercise price a Sell 2 calls with exercise price (atb)/2 Purchase 1 call with exercise price b as a function of the underlying stock price S at t=1 where a=120 and b=140. (b) An individual agent thinks that there is a high probability that the Dow Jones will have a payoff (or points) between a=34,000 and b-36,000 at t=1. 1=nd Design a digital option (see Figure 1) as a sequence of calls on the Dow that converges to a pure bet on getting $1 on the interval [34,000, 36,000]. ie, if the Dow lies between SE[34,000, 36,000] at t=1, then the portfolio of calls pays off exactly $1. The payoff is 0 otherwise. a+8 Figure 1 (Digital option) payoff a=34,000 b-36,000 S. Hint: You have to modify the sell strategies of a butterfly spread to obtain a payoff as given in Figure 2 and then adjust n and 8 appropriately.
