The assets of the company consist of two zero-coupon bonds, one paying £X million in 7 years' time and the other paying £Y million in 20 years' time. The current interest rate is 6% per annum effective.

In this market, if at time t=0 he agrees to invest £5.3 for two years, he will receive £7.4 at time t=2 years. Alternatively, if at time t=0 he agrees to invest £5.3 at time t=1 for either one year or two years, he will receive £7.5 or £7.3 at times t=2 and t=3, respectively. Calculate the price per £5,000 nominal that the individual should pay for a fixed-interest bond bearing annual interest of 6.6% and is redeemable after 3 years at 110%.

- In the derivation of the option pricing formula, we required that a delta-hedged position earn the risk-free rate of return. A different approach to pricing an option is to impose the condition that the actual expected return on the option must equal the equilibrium expected return. Suppose the risk premium on the stock is 0.03, the price of the underlying stock is 111, the call option price is 4.63, and the delta of the call option is 0.4. Determine the risk premium on the option.arrow_forwardGeneral Financearrow_forwardAssume an investor buys a share of stock for $18 at t = 0 and at the end of the next year (t = 1) , he buys 12 shares with a unit price of $9 per share.
