Suppose you won the lottery and had two options: (1) receiving$0.5 million or (2) taking a gamble in which, at the flip of a coin, you receive $1 million if ahead comes up but receive zero if a tail comes up.a. What is the expected value of the gamble?b. Would you take the sure $0.5 million or the gamble?c. If you chose the sure $0.5 million, would that indicate that you are a risk averter or arisk seeker?d. Suppose the payoff was actually $0.5 million—that was the only choice. You nowface the choice of investing it in a U.S. Treasury bond that will return $537,500 at theend of a year or a common stock that has a 50–50 chance of being worthless or worth$1,150,000 at the end of the year. 1. The expected profit on the T-bond investment is $37,500. What is the expected dollarprofit on the stock investment?2. The expected rate of return on the T-bond investment is 7.5%. What is the expectedrate of return on the stock investment?3. Would you invest in the bond or the stock? Why?4. Exactly…
Person 1’s utility function for money is U = (M)0.5 . Person 2’s utility function for money is U = (M)0.25 .There is a gamble that you have 50% to get 2000$ and 50% get nothing. (a)What are these two people’s certainty equivalence of this gamble? (b)What are these two people’s risk premium of this gamble? (c)What are these two people’s probability premium of this gamble? (d)According to the result of above questions, can you judge which person is more risk averse
If the risk-free rate is 4.8 percent and the risk premium is 6.8 percent, what is the required return? (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) Required Return: ___.__%
Suppose the nominal rate of return is 0.085 and the risk-free rate is 0.010. What is the risk premium? Instruction: Round to two decimal places. E.g., if your answer is 0.0106465 or 1.06465%, you should type ONLY the number .01, neither 0.0106465, 0.0106, nor 1.065. Otherwise, Blackboard will treat it as a wrong answer.
1) Using the Black and Scholes formula, for each payoff compute the price, delta and probability of being exercised: 1a) A call, K=90, So=100, T=0.25, o=0.2 and r=0.01. 1b) A put, K=37, So=35, T=0.3, o=0.3 and r=0.02. 1c) A call, K=23, So=24, T=5 months, o=24% and r=2%. 1d) A call, K=95% of So, So=50, T=9 months, o=50% and r=3%. 1e) A put, K=97% of So, So=95, T=1 year, o=D30% and r=2%. 1f) An "at-the-money" straddle, So=95, T = 3 months, o=35% and r=2%.
You have determined that your risk tolerance is 100. Calculate your utility for the following payoffs: (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Payoff Utility 13 20 33
You are planning to buy a lottery ticket for the $226,000,000 jackpot. If you have (option A). The cash option of receiving $154,300,000 today or you can opt to choose (option B.) the 30 payments of $7,533,333. If, average inflation rate is 3%, what is the present value of OPTION B (cash flow option)? (Please use two decimals).
Suppose you construct a strategy based on options on a stock that is currently selling for $100. The strategy is as follows: Buy one call option having an exercise price of $95. Sell two calls having an exercise price of $100. Buy one call option having an exercise price of $105. All of the options are written on the same stock and all have the same expiration date. Compute the payoff (the dollars you receive) from this strategy at the expiration date for each of the following alternative stocks prices: $90, $95, $98, $100, $102, $105, and $110. What additional information would be required to determine whether your strategy had been profitable? What is the name of this strategy?
