Let it denote the effective annual return achieved on an equity
fund achieved between time (t-1) and time t.
Annual log-returns on the fund, denoted by In(1+i̟²), are
assumed to form a series of independent and identically
distributed Normal random variables with parameters µ = 7%
and σ = 10%.
An investor has a liability of £20,000 payable at time 10.
Calculate the amount of money that should be invested now so
that the probability that the investor will be unable to meet the
liability as it falls due is only 5%.
Express your answer to the NEAREST INTEGER and do NOT
include a "£" sign.
Note: From standard Normal tables, we have (-1.645) = 0.05.
For this question, use this data:
myFunc = function (x, y = 2)
{z = 7
Z+x^2+y
}
What is the output of myFunc(2)?
O 13.
O An error, y is undefined.
O Nothing, we have to assign it as a vari
O 9.
