- A martingale betting strategy works as follows. You begin with a certain amount of money and repeatedly play a game in which you have a 40% chance of winning any bet. In the first game, you bet 1. From then on, every time you win a bet, you bet 1 the next time. Each time you lose, you double your previous bet. Currently you have 63. Assuming you have unlimited credit, so that you can bet more money than you have, use simulation to estimate the profit or loss you will have after playing the game 50 times.arrow_forwardYour answer is partially correct. An independent contractor for a transportation company needs to determine whether she should upgrade the vehicle she currently owns or trade her vehicle in to lease a new vehicle. If she keeps her vehicle, she will need to invest in immediate upgrades that cost $5,200 and it will cost $1,300 per year to operate at the end of year that follows. She will keep the vehicle for 5 years; at the end of this period, the upgraded vehicle will have a salvage value of $3,800. Alternatively, she could trade in her vehicle to lease a new vehicle. She estimates that her current vehicle has a trade-in value of $9,800 and that there will be $4,100 due at lease signing. She further estimates that it will cost $2,900 per year to lease and operate the vehicle. The independent contractor's MARR is 11%.

- Consider two equity market investors. The first investor is a hedge fund manager that relies on very active trading, and borrows from investment banks in order to leverage their investment. Their remuneration depends on total base fee earned by their fund as a percentage of net assets under management, plus a yearly bonus based on returns generated above a hurdle rate. The second investor is a high net-worth individual who is investing for their own retirement, which they anticipate to occur in 10 years or more. Identify three dimensions of risk that are likely to have significantly different impact on thesetwo investors. Explain the nature of the difference. Suggest aspects that each investor might monitor in order to control the risks most relevant to them.arrow_forward5. Consider a 2-year CDS.

A movie producing company and a TV network both want exclusive rights to her latest comedy series. The TV network is willing to pay a single lump sum, but if she signed with the movie company, the sum she receives will depend on how the market responds to her series. The network is willing to pay a flat $900,000-00. The movie company is prepared to pay $200,000-00, $1,001, 000-00, and $3,000,000-00 for a ‘Minimal Hit’, ‘Average Hit’, and ‘Massive Hit’, respectively. The statisticians are forecasting a 30% probability of a minimal hit, 60% for an average hit, and a 10% for massive hit. Required: a) Construct a decision tree of the above situation clearly identifying the decision and chance nodes. b) What are the expected payoffs for each decision and what would be your recommendation to Ellen? c) If Ellen had the relevant information on all the possibilities, what would be her expected payoff? d) What price would you recommend she pays to acquire…arrow_forward
