A retail department store must make a choice between two investments with a preferred rate of return of 13.5%. Alternative 1
will provide the store with returns of $12.000 at the end of year two, $15.000 at the end of year four and $9000 at the end of
year 6. Alternative 2 will provide the store with annual returns of $5800 per year for six years. Which alternative is
preferable?
Select one:
a. Alternative 2
b. Altemative 1
An investor wants to exactly replicate the put option's payoff so he considers to buy X shares of the stock and Y shares of bonds. Suppose the stock
price is $70 and the bond price with coupon rate 5% is $100. The stock price will either go up 15% or down 8% in one year. There are one European
call option and one European put option with exercise price of $70 that will be expired in one year. Short selling is allowed.
What are the values of X and Y?
If an investment decreases 1% the first year, 6% the second year and 9% the third year, what is the
"average" percent decrease? (Enter answer as a percent, rounded to 1 decimal place).
Remember two things. First, percentages are applied using multiplication, so you cannot just add
the 3 numbers together and divide by 3. Also, percent increases and decreases result in "percent of"
so the factors in the multiplication are NOT the percent decreases, but the "percents of". You have
to start by finding the geometric mean of the "percents of" and then use that to give the "average"
percent decrease.
