Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 10MC
Suppose there is a large probability that L will default on its debt. For the purpose of this example, assume that the value of L’s operations is $4 million (the value of its debt plus equity). Assume also that its debt consists of 1-year, zero coupon bonds with a face value of $2 million. Finally, assume that L’s volatility, σ, is 0.60 and that the risk-free rate rRF is 6%.

Suppose that the borrowing rate that your client faces is 9%. Assume that the equity market index has an expected return of 13% and standard deviation of 25%, that rf = 5%.
What is the range of risk aversion for which a client will neither borrow nor lend, that is, for which y = 1?
Assume that the risk free rate is equal to 0.04. The corporate bond rate for a risky bond is 0.11. Assume a recovery rate of 0.33. All rates in this problem are stated as decimals. Using the precise calculation formula, calculate λ , the probability of default. Round your answer to three decimal places, and state as a decimal.
