- Suppose you came up with the following calculations; Assume your utlity function is represented by U E(Rp) 1/2A\sigma_p^2 where your risk aversion parameter A = 25. What is the weight that you must invest in Stock C in order to create your Optimal Portfolio? Present result in decimals, for example, 0.78, not 78 %. Round to 4 decimals. Your Answer: Answerarrow_forwardDraw the profit diagram (profit not payoff) of a portfolio consisting of a long position in two call options with exercise price ?, a short position in five call options with exercise price 2? and a long position in four call options with exercise price 3?. All options have the same maturity date and the same underlying stock. Clearly state any assumptions made. Is the cost of the portfolio positive?arrow_forwardAssume that using the Security Market Line(SML) the required rate of return(RA)on stock A is found to be halfof the required return (RB) on stock B. The risk-free rate (Rf) is one-fourthof the required return on A. Return on market portfolio is denoted by RM. Find the ratioof betaof A(A) tobeta of B(B). Thank you for your help.arrow_forward
- V3. By looking at the sensivities of your portfolio to δs = -$2 and δσ = -1%, you decide to hedge delta, gamma and Vega risk of your portfolio with the underlying stock and two different options on the same asset with below data. Calculate the units of stock you need to trade to hedge away all delta, gamma and Vega risks of your portfolio.(Note that here you have to calculate the units of stock, Option A and Option B, but you will only submit the units of stock.)arrow_forwardTwo call options, A and B, are on the same stock. Their hedge ratios are 0.4 and 0.6, respectively. If a riskfree portfolio of the two calls contains one Call A, then the portfolio needs to contain _______ Call Bs (use negative numbers to mean short positions. Keep 2 decimal places.)arrow_forwardFind a portfolio with payoff at time T equal to if 0 ≤ S(T) ≤ 10, if 10 ≤S(T) ≤ 30, if 30 ≤S(T). VT = 2ST + 30, -3ST+80, ST-40, Here, ST denotes the price of the underlying asset at time T. You can hold cash, the asset, calls, and puts.arrow_forward
- 2. Derive the single - period binomial model for a put option. Include a single - period example where: u = 1.10, d = 0.95, Rf = 0.05, SO = $100, X = $100. 3. Assume ABC stock's price follows a binomial process, is trading at SO = $100, has u 1.10, d = 0.95, and probability of its price increasing in one period is 0.5 (q = 0.5). a. Show with a binomial tree ABC's possible stock prices, logarithmic returns, and probabilities after one period and two periods. . b. What are the stock's expected logarithmic return and variance for 2 periods and 3 periods? c. Define the properties of a binomial distribution.arrow_forward* Consider the following portfolio II: long one call with exercise price E₁, long one put with exercise price E2, short one call with exercise price E, and short one put with exercise price E1+E2 E. Consider the case E₁ < E < E2 where E < 2 ⚫ (a) Write down the pay-off function A(S) for the portfolio II. • • (b) What is the value of the pay-off function when S < E₁? (c) What is the value of the pay-off function when E < S < E₂?arrow_forwardFinance (a) Consider a portfolio with a Delta of 100, a Gamma of -20, and a Vega of -10. There are two traded options available: Traded options 1 Traded options 2 Delta 0.2 -0.1 Gamma Vega 0.01 0.05 0.5 0.3 What position in the traded option and/or underlying stock would make the portfolio Gamma and Vega neutral?

- Assume that using the Security Market Line the required rate of return (RA) on stock A is found to be half of the required return (RB) on stock B. The risk-free rate (Rf) is one-fourth of the required return on A. Return on the market portfolio is denoted by RM. Find the ratio of beta of A (bA) to beta of B (bB).arrow_forwardPlease solve c part and get a thumbs uparrow_forwardAssume that using the Security Market Line (SML) the required rate of return (RA) on stock A is found to be half of the required return (RB) on stock B.
