Hi, How do i solve this problem using a formula or financial calculator?
Two securities, A and B, are available for trading. Prices (at t=0) and future payoffs (at t=1) in bothstates are given in the following table. Assume that both states are equally likely (50% chance of each).
There is another security, call it C, whose payoff at t=1 is equal to $300 in the weak state and$600 in the strong state. Find the no-arbitrage price (at t=0) of security C
What is the risk-free rate of return in this economy?
The market price of a security is $27. Its expected rate of return is 13.1%. The risk-free rate is 5%, and the market risk premium is 9.1%. What will be the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)? Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity (round answer to 2 decimal places).
The market price of a security is $50. Its expected rate of return is 14%. The risk-free rate is 6%, and the market risk premium is 8.5%. What will be the market price of the security if its correlation coefficient with the market portfolio doubles (and all other variables remain unchanged)? Assume that the stock is expected to pay a constant dividend in perpetuity.
