Question
Chapter 21, Problem 23P
Summary Introduction
To determine: The difference between the risk-neutral probabilities and actual probabilities and the state in which one is higher than the other.
Introduction: A binomial model portrays the development of irregular variables over a progression of time steps, relegating specified probabilities to increase or decrease in the variable. The binomial option pricing model makes the improving supposition toward the finish of every period; the price of stock has just two conceivable values.

Portfolio betas Personal Finance Problem Rose Berry is attempting to evaluate two possible portfolios, which
consist of the same five assets held in different proportions. She is particularly interested in using beta to compare
the risks of the portfolios, so she has gathered the data shown in the following table:
a. Calculate the betas for portfolios A and B.
b. Compare the risks of these portfolios to the market as well as to each other. Which portfolio is more risky?
a. The beta for portfolio A is
(Round to four decimal places.)
The beta for portfolio B is
(Round to four decimal places.)
b. Which portfolio is more risky? (Select the best answer below.)
A. Portfolio B
B. Portfolio A
○ C. They are the same.

- Risk and probability Micro-Pub, Inc., is considering the purchase of one of two digital cameras, R and S, each of which requires an initial investment of $4,000. Management has constructed the following table of estimates of rates of return and probabilities for pessimistic, most likely, and optimistic results: a. Determine the range for the rate of return for each of the two cameras. b. Determine the value of the expected return for each camera. c. Which camera purchase is riskier? Why? a. The range for the rate of return for camera R is %. (Round to the nearest whole number.) The range for the rate of return for camera S is ☐ %. (Round to the nearest whole number.) b. The value of the expected return for camera R is %. (Round to two decimal places.) The value of the expected return for camera S is %. (Round to two decimal places.) c. Which camera purchase is riskier? Why? (Select from the drop-down menus.) The purchase of is riskier because it has a range for the rate of return.arrow_forward4 analysts covered the stock of Flooring Chemical. One forecasts a 5% return for the coming year. The second expects the return to be -4%. The third predicts a return of 9%. The fourth expects a 1% return in the coming year. You are relatively confident that the return will be positive but not large, so you arbitrarily assign probabilities of being correct of 33%, 7%, 18%, and 42%, respectively to the analysts' forecasts. Given these probabilities, what is Flooring Chemical's expected return for the coming year?arrow_forwardWhy you would be a quality recipient of the Linda K Crandall Nutrition Scholarship.arrow_forward
