b. What is the no-arbitrage price of a security that pays cash flows of $100 in one year and $500
in two years?
c. Suppose a security with cash flows of $50 in one year and $100 in two years is trading for a
price of $130. What arbitrage opportunity is available?
The promised cash flows of three securities are listed below. If the cash flows are risk-free, and the risk-free interest rate is 5.0%, determine the no-arbitrage price of each security before the first cash flow is paid.

- Answer the following two questions: a. A bond with a face value of $1200 has a 10% coupon rate, its current price is $950, and its price is expected to increase to $1000 next year. Calculate the expected rate of return. b. If the interest rate is 2 percent, what is the present value of a security that pays you $100 next year, $110 two years from now and $120 three years from now? If this security sold for $320 instead, is the yield to maturity greater or less than 2 percent? Explain why (No calculation needed).arrow_forwardRecall that on a one-year Treasury security the yield is 4.4600% and 6.0210% on a two-year Treasury security. Suppose the one-year security does not have a maturity risk premium, but the two-year security does and it is 0.4%. What is the market’s estimate of the one-year Treasury rate one year from now? (Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations.arrow_forwardThe price of a certain security follows a geometric Brownian motion with drift parameter mu=.05 and volatility parameter sigma =.3. The present price of the security is 95. (a) If the interest rate is 4%, find the no-arbitrage cost of a call option that expires in three months and has exercise price 100. (b) What is the probability that the call option in part (a) is worthless at the time of expiration?arrow_forward
- Consider a state space model. Suppose there are two economic states in the next year.The probability of occurrence of state 1 is 0.29 and the probability of occurrence of state 2 is 0.71. There is a risk-free bond traded in this market with the time 1 payoff of $100. The time 0 price of the bond is $89.71.All primitive state-contingent claims are traded in this market. (a) The time 0 price of the state-contingent claim paying off $1 in state 1 is. What is the price of, the state-contingent claim paying off $1 in state 2? (b) Suppose that there is another security traded in this market: a stock paying $50.0 in state 1, and $100.0 in state 2. What is the time 0 price of the stock? (c) What is the expected return on the risk-free bond (in %)? (d) What is the expected return on the stock? (e) What is the standard deviation of the return of the bond? (f) What is the standard deviation of the return of the stock?arrow_forwardSuppose the real risk-free rate is 3.00%, the average expected future inflation rate is 4.00%, and a maturity risk premium of 0.10% per year to maturity applies, i.e., MRP = 0.10%(t), where t is the years to maturity. What rate of return would you expect on a 1-year Treasury security, assuming the pure expectations theory is NOT valid? Include the cross-product term, i.e., if averaging is required, use the geometric average. (Round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)arrow_forwardSuppose the term structure of risk-free interest rates is as shown here: a. Calculate the present value of an investment that pays $1,000 in 2 years and $4,000 in 5 years for certain. b. Calculate the present value of receiving $900 per year, with certainty, at the end of the next 5 years. To find the rates for the missing years in the table, linearly interpolate between the years for which you do know the rates. (For example, the rate in year 4 would be the average rate in year 3 and year 5.) c. Calculate the present value of receiving $2,700 per year, with certainty, for the next 20 years. Infer rates for the missing years using linear interpolation. (Hint: Use a spreadsheet.)
