Suppose a U.S. investor wishes to invest in a British firm currently selling for £100 per share. The investor has $24,000 to invest, and the current exchange rate is $2/£. Consider three possible prices per share at £95, £100, and £105 after 1 year. Also, consider three possible exchange rates at $1.60/£, $2/£, and $2.40/£ after 1 year. Calculate the standard deviation of both the pound- and dollar-denominated rates of return if each of the nine outcomes (three possible prices per share in pounds times three possible exchange rates) is equally likely. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your percentage answers to 2 decimal places.) .

Q2) Suppose the current one-year euro swap rate y0[0, 1] is 1.74%, and the two-yearand three-year swap rates are 2.24% and 2.55% respectively. Euro swap rates are quotedwith annual payments and 30/360 daycount (thus α = 1). A hedge fund(HF) executes the following two trades with a dealer:1(1) The HF pays fixed and receives floating on e100 million notional of a one-year swap atthe forward swap rate.(2) The HF receives fixed and pays floating on e100 million notional of a three-year swapat the forward swap rate.Assume bid-offer costs are negligible.a) After one year, what net cashflow has the dealer paid to (or received from) the HF?b) Suppose after one year, one-year and two-year euro swap rates are unchanged. What isthe current value of the remaining part of the HF trade?c) Suppose after one year, the one-year euro swap rate is unchanged but the two-year euroswap rate is now Y%. What value of Y gives a total zero profit on the trade (at T = 1)?d) Do you like the trades the HF…
