**Problem 1**: Suggest two different portfolios that produce the payoff diagram as in the graph below. Both portfolios may contain any amount of risk-free borrowing or lending, and the underlying stock. Portfolio 1 may contain call options but no put options. Portfolio 2 may contain put options but no call options. Assume the risk-free rate is $ r_f = 10\% $.**Graph Explanation**: The graph displays a payoff diagram. The x-axis represents the stock price, ranging from 0 to 40, and the y-axis represents the payoff, ranging from -15 to 25. The payoff line remains at zero up to a stock price of 20. Beyond this point, it increases linearly with the stock price, starting from a payoff of zero at a stock price of 20 to a payoff of 20 at a stock price of 40. This is indicative of a call option payoff structure, where the payoff is zero below the strike price and increases linearly above it.---**Problem 2**: Suppose that a stock is currently trading at $60 per share, and the stock price can only take two possible values one year from now: it can either go up by 25% or down by 20%. The annual risk-free rate is 4%. Assume that the stock pays no dividends. You are interested in pricing an European put option on this stock. The option has a strike price of $66, and its maturity date is exactly one year from now.a) What is the payoff on the put option if the stock price goes up by 25%?b) What is the payoff on the put option if the stock price goes down by 20%?c) What is the price of the put option?---**Problem 3**: For a two-period binomial model, you are given:- Each period is one year.- The current price for a non-dividend paying stock is $20.- $ u = 1.2840 $, where $ u $ is one plus the rate of capital gain on the stock per period if the stock price goes up. - $ d = 0.8607 $, where $ d $ is one plus the rate of capital loss on the stock per period if the stock price goes down.- The risk-free interest rate is 5%.Calculate the price of an American call option on the stock with a strike price of $22.

A second version of the Markowitz portfolio model maximizes expected return subject to a constraint that the variance of the portfolio must be less than or equal to some specified amount. Consider the Hauck Financial Service data. Click on the datafile logo to reference the data. Annual Return (%) Mutual Fund Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 Foreign Stock 10.06 13.12 13.47 45.42 -21.93 Intermediate-Term Bond 17.64 3.25 7.51 -1.33 7.36 Large-Cap Growth 32.41 18.71 33.28 41.46 -23.26 Large-Cap Value 32.36 20.61 12.93 7.06 -5.37 Small-Cap Growth 33.44 19.40 3.85 58.68 -9.02 Small-Cap Value 24.56 25.32 -6.70 5.43 17.31 (a) Construct this version of the Markowitz model for a maximum variance of 38.

Consider the information on the market, the risk-free asset, and a mutual fund. You want to build a two-asset portfolio comprising the market portfolio and the risk-free asset such that your portfolio beta is the same as the mutual fund.

4. What follows are several portfolios; each is denoted by the term Port. Graph the profit curve at t = T for each of them. Determine the strengths and weaknesses of each portfolio. Namely, explain what a reasonable investor must be expecting to adopt each portfolio. In this listing, CE denotes a Call with strike price E, -CE represents going short on a Call-the Call was sold, PE is a put, -PE is going short on a put, and the numbers E indicate the strike price. (a) A "Long Call" is Port = CE- (b) A "Short Call" is Port = -CE. (c) A "Long Put" is Port = PE. (d) A "Short Put" is Port = - PE. (e) A "Long Straddle" is Port = PE + C£; namely, buy both a Put and Call with the same strike price. (f) A "Short Straddle" is Port = -P - C. (g) A "Long Strangle" is Port = P£₁ +C£₂; namely, it is a purchase of a put at strike price E₁, which is less than the strike price of a Call at E2 (h) a "Short butterfly" is Port = −CE₁ +2CE₂ - CE3 where E₁ < E₂ < E3. (i) A "Long butterfly" is Port = CE₁…
