- Consider the following data for a certain share. Current Price = S0 = Rs. 80 Exercise Price = E = Rs. 90 Standard deviation of continuously compounded annual return = \sigma = 0.5 Expiration period of the call option = 3 months Risk – free interest rate per annum = 6 percent a. What is the value of the call option? Use the normal distribution table. b. What is the value of a put option?arrow_forwardConsider the following data for a certain share. Current Price = So = Rs. 80 Exercise Price = E = Rs. 90 Standard deviation of continuously compounded annual return = 0 = 0.5 Expiration period of the call option 3 months Risk – free interest rate per annum = 6 percent a. What is the value of the call option? Use the normal distribution table. b. What is the value of a put option?arrow_forwardThe following table reports the percentage of stocks in a portfolio for nine quarters: a. Construct a time series plot. What type of pattern exists in the data? b. Use trial and error to find a value of the exponential smoothing coefficient that results in a relatively small MSE. c. Using the exponential smoothing model you developed in part (b), what is the forecast of the percentage of stocks in a typical portfolio for the second quarter of year 3?arrow_forward
- The discounted returns on a portfolio are normally distributed with mean 1.2% and volatility 13%. Find the 1% 10-day expected shortfall (ES) assuming the returns are i.i.d. You are given that ϕ(Φ−1(0.01))=0.02265.arrow_forwarda. Calculate the average rate of return for each stock during the 5-year period. b. Suppose you had held a portfolio consisting of 50% of Stock A and 50% of Stock B. What would have been the realized rate of return on the portfolio in each year? What would have been the average return on the portfolio during this period? c. Calculate the standard deviation of returns for each stock and for the portfolio. d. If you are a risk-averse investor, then, assuming these are your only choices, would you prefer to hold Stock A, Stock B, or the portfolio? Why? You have observed the following returns over time: Year Stock X Stock Y Market 2009 14% 13% 12% 2010 19 7 10 2011 -16 -5 -12 2012 3 1 1 2013 20 11 15arrow_forwardConsider a stock portfolio consisting of two units of S' and one unit of S2. Calculate the probability of delta losses over one day, if the daily log-returns (X1, X2) of the stocks are independent with X1 are S = 100, S = 50.

- Consider a stock where the current price is Ksh.120, the expected return is 20% per annum, and the volatility is 40% per annum. The expected stock price, E(ST) Þ, and the variance of the stock price, Var(ST), in 1 year.arrow_forwardFor the upcoming year, the risk-free rate is 2 percent, and the expected return to the market is 7 percent. You are also given the following covariance matrix for Securities J,K, andL. \table[[Covariance,Security J,Security K,Security L],[Security J,0.0012532,0.0010344,0.0019711],[Security K,0.0010344,0.0023717,0.0013558],[Security L,0.0019711,0.0013558,0.0048442]] Also assume that you form a portfolio by putting 0 percent of your funds in Security J, 40 percent of your funds in Security K, and 60 percent of your funds in Security L. Based on this information, determine the standard deviation of the resulting portfolio. ◻ 6.47% 5.27% 4.98% 5.82% 4.77%arrow_forwardWhat is portfolio A's CAPM beta based on your analysis?

- Using the data in the following table,, consider a portfolio that maintains a 50% weight on stock A and a 50% weight on stock B a. What is the return each year of this portfolio? b. Based on your results from part (a), compute the average return and volatility of the portfolio. c. Show that (i) the average return of the portfolio is equal to the (weighted) average of the average returns of the two stocks, and (ii) the volatility of the portfolio equals the same result as from the calculation in Eq. 11.8. d. Explain why the portfolio has a lower volatility than the average volatility of the two stocks. a. What is the return each year of this portfolio? Enter the return of this portfolio for each year in the table below (Round to two decimal places.)

Use 1 or 2 sentences to discuss why it is so. (a) If R, is simple 1-month return, then the annualized return is 12 x R, after assuming all R = R. True False Why? (b) Let and r GSA be continuously compounded 1 - month returns for Goldman Sachs Group (GS) and American International Group (AIG). If we construct a portfolio using the share ain[0, 1] for GS, the portfolio cc return is ľ AIG = 0x*y +(1-x)*r True False Why? (c) In 5. (b)., if 5% quantile of the portfolio cc return is given as AIG, GS, r 40.05 = -0.5, then 5% monthly Value-at-Risk for the $10,000 investment in this portfolio is $10,000 × (-0.5) = -$ 5,000. True False rarrow_forwardSuppose Stock A has B = 1 and an expected return of 11%. Stock B has a B = 1.5. The risk- free rate is 5%.
