Chapter 2, Problem 49SE
The term Beta refers to a measure of a stock’s price volatility relative to the stock market as a whole. A Beta of 1 means the stock’s price moves exactly with the market. A Beta of 1.6 means the stock’s price would increase by 1.6% for an increase of 1% in the stock
market. A larger Beta means the stock price is more volatile. The Betas for the stocks of the companies that make up the Dow Jones Industrial Average are shown in Table 2.17 (Yahoo Finance, November 2014).
- a. Construct a frequency distribution and percent frequency distribution.
- b. Construct a histogram.
- c. Comment on the shape of the distribution.
- d. Which stock has the highest Beta? Which has the lowest Beta?

(i) Prove that if G is triangle free (no induced K3) then m(G) ≤ a(G)B(G). Hints - The neighborhood of a vertex in a triangle free graph must be independent; all edges have at least one end in a vertex cover. (ii) Show that all graphs of order n ≥ 3 and size m> [n2/4] contain a triangle. Hints - you may need to use either elementary calculus or the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality.arrow_forwardWe consider the one-period model studied in class as an example. Namely, we assumethat the current stock price is S0 = 10. At time T, the stock has either moved up toSt = 12 (with probability p = 0.6) or down towards St = 8 (with probability 1−p = 0.4).We consider a call option on this stock with maturity T and strike price K = 10. Theinterest rate on the money market is zero.As in class, we assume that you, as a customer, are willing to buy the call option on100 shares of stock for $120. The investor, who sold you the option, can adopt one of thefollowing strategies: Strategy 1: (seen in class) Buy 50 shares of stock and borrow $380. Strategy 2: Buy 55 shares of stock and borrow $430. Strategy 3: Buy 60 shares of stock and borrow $480. Strategy 4: Buy 40 shares of stock and borrow $280.(a) For each of strategies 2-4, describe the value of the investor’s portfolio at time 0,and at time T for each possible movement of the stock.(b) For each of strategies 2-4, does the investor have…arrow_forward
