Evaluate the following statement:
If the financial market is frictionless and complete, the asset with higher expected return also exhibits higher return volatility (i.e., standard deviation of returns).
When the quantity of a financial security supplied or demanded changes at every given interest rate in response to a change in a factor, this causes a shift in the supply or demand curve

If a yield curve looks like the one shown here, what is the market predicting about the movement of future short-term interest rates? Distinguish between the flat part of the curve and the part with the increasing slope. Yield to maturity Term to maturityarrow_forward
- Which of the following is correct with regards to Theories of Term Structure? When the shape of the yield curve depends on investors’ expectations about prospective prevailing interest rates, the Pure Exception Theory is being applied. When the economic outlook is improving, the yield curve inverts as it reflects no changes in inflation premium. The liquidity preference theory suggests that long-term rates are generally higher than short-term rates since investors perceive more liquidity in long-term investments. Under the Market segmentation theory, there is an apparent relationship between the yield curve and the prevailing rate of returns in each market segment.arrow_forwardThe slope of the Security Market Line equals to ____, and the slope of Capital Allocation Line equals to____. Select one: A. Beta; Sharpe Ratio B. Market Risk Premium; Sharpe Ratio C. Risk free rate; Volatility D. Market Risk Premium; Volatilityarrow_forwardWhen does the present economy studies do or use? a. When interest rate is not given b. When time is not given c. When time is not given but interest rate is given d. When time is given but interest rate is not givenarrow_forward
- What does the volatility value represents?arrow_forwardWe discussed the expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates. What does it says about the factors that influence the shape (upward, downward or flat) of the yield curve. Why does the yield curve sometimes inverts (become downward sloping) even though most of the time it is upward sloping?arrow_forwardIf the yield curve is downward sloping, what would the expectations theory suggest about expected future short-term interest rates?arrow_forward
- If I have that the standard estimator of the volatility parameter is 0.2491, how can I estimate the drift parameter, mu, for some price paths assuming the price paths can be modeled by a risk-neutral geometric Brownian motion and the interest rate is 0? (I need to consider how the drift parameter is related to the volatility in a risk-neutral setting.)arrow_forwardVolatility is a situation when the prices of financial instruments are potentially stable, and they are subject to quick and large short term moves. Select one: True Falsearrow_forwardIs default risk premium likely to be pro-cyclical (i.e., increasing during economic expansion) or counter-cyclical (i.e., increasing during the economic recession)?
