Consider a two-state outcome for the following problem: Winterhold Publishing House Current Stock Price $25.00 Exercise Price $27.00 Risk-free Rate 0.05 Share Price, High $30.00 Share Price, Low $20.00 Required: Using the data above, please find the hedge ratio. You currently own several shares of this company. The purchase puts according to the Hedge ratio to construct a non-random portfolio. Show the payoff for both outcomes, then solve for present value and the price of the put.
You are thinking about investing in either X corp, or Y corp. Based on the following market measures, which company could be the best option based on possible return of investment? x y Price/Earnings Ratio 10.39 12.27 Earnings per Common Share 3.5 5.4 Divident Payout .464 .320
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.
