Answer:

Average rate of return= 10.17 %

Geometric return = 9.23%

Explanation:

<em>Geometric average return</em>

This is compounded annual rate of return which is used to measure the performance of an asset over a certain number of years. It helps to measure the return generated by an investment taking into account the volatility .

Unlike the arithmetic average the geometric average gives an idea of the real rate taking into account of volatility

The formula below

Geometric Return =(1+r1) (1+r2) ...... (1+rn)^1/n

Geometric Average return =

(1.12× 1.19× 1.21× 0.88× 1.26× 0.95)^(1/6) - 1 =0.09233168

Geometric return =0.0923 × 100= 9.23%

Geometric return = 9.23%

Average rate of return

<em>The average return is the sum of the returns over the years dividend by the Numbers of returns</em>

Average return = sum of return / No of returns

(12% + 19% + 21% + (12%) + 26% + (5%))/6 =10.17 %

Average rate of return= 10.17 %

Geometric return = 9.23%

Imagine that you are holding 7,000 shares of stock, currently selling at $70 per share. You are ready to sell the shares but wou

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Consider the following calculations

Explanation:

Number of Shares held = 7000

Current Price = $ 70

Portfolio Value = 7000 * 70 = 490,000

If continued to hold the shares

Portfolio value at $ 57 = 7000 * 57 = 399,000

Portfolio Value at $ 77 = 7000 * 77 = 539,000

If implemented collar strategy - Selling a call option and buying a put option

Call option

Strike Price = 75

Price of the option = $ 2

Put Option

Strike Price = 65

Price of the option = $ 4

Amount received on sale of Call option = 7000 * 2 = 14,000

Amount paid on buying a put option = 7000 * 4 = 28,000

Value of the Portfolio = 7000 * 70 + 14000 – 28000 = 490,000 +14000 – 28000 = 476,000

If the stock price in January is 57

As the strike price 75 is higher than the current market price of 57, the call option buyer will allow the option to expire

As the strike price of 65 is higher than the current price of 57, the investor will utilise the put option

Profit from Put option can be obtained by buying shares from market and selling the same under the put option

Profit from put option =7000 * (65-57) = 7000 * 8 = 56000

Value of the portfolio = Holding Value at current price + premium received – premium paid+ profit from put option

= 7000 * 57 + 14000 – 28000 + 56000

= 399000 + 14000 – 28000 + 56000

= 441,000

If the stock price in January is 70

As the strike price 75 is higher than the market price of 70, the call option buyer will allow the option to expire

As the strike price of 65 is lower than market price of 70, the invest will allow the put option to expire

Portfolio Value = Holding value at current market price + premium received – premium paid

= 7000 * 70 + 14000 – 28000

= 490000 + 14000 – 28000 = 476,000

If the market price in January is 77

As the strike price of 75 is lower than market price of 77, the buyer of call option will enforce the call option

Loss from call option = 7000 * (77-75) = 7000 * 2 = 14000

As the strike price of 65 is lower than market price of 77, the investor will allow the put option to expire

Portfolio Value = Holding value at current market price + premium received – premium paid – loss on call option

Portfolio value = 7000 * 77 + 14000 – 28000 – 14000

= 539000 + 14000 – 28000 – 14000

= 511,000
