Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

If a person's wealth is in cash, price level changes in the economy will definitely affect the his monetary wealth.

Price level changes arise as a result of inflation. Increase in general price level in the economy will reduce the purchasing power of the cash. For example, a good that used to sell for $2, it now goes for $5.

And if there is decrease in general price level, the purchasing power of the cash will increase.

vekshin1

Answer:

The stock price today is $ 29.56

Explanation:

Dividend for year 1, d₁ = $ 3.65

Dividend for year 2, d₂ = $ 2.66

Required rate = 12.3% = 0.123

Growth rate = 3.3% = 0.033

Value after year 2= (d₂ × Growth rate) ÷ (Required rate - Growth rate)

= (2.66 × 1.033) ÷ (0.123 - 0.033)

=30.5308889

Hence current price = Future dividend and value × Present value of discounting factor(rate%,time period)

= (3.65÷1.123) + (2.66÷1.123^2 ) + (30.5308889 ÷1.123^2 )

=$29.56

Svetllana [295]

Answer:

a) 152

b) <em>$15,310,562.50</em>

Explanation:

<u>A) What position in futures contracts on the S & P 500 is it necessary to hedge the portfolio</u>

The position is to short

The number to be shorted  can be calculated using the formula below:

= ( β *  value of portfolio) / (one futures contract size * number of times the value of the contract price)

where ; value of portfolio = $15 million , Beta = 1.25 , one future contract size = $24750,  number of times = 5

= (  1.25 * 15,000,000)   / ( 24,750 * 5)  = 151.5 ≈ 152 contracts

<u>b) What is our portfolio value of your portfolio with the hedge from part a</u>

Given that 6 months has passed

Dow Jones now valued at $24720

Future price now $25,100  

first step : calculate loss from position in part a

= 152 * 5 * ( 24,750 - 25,100 ) = - $266,000

next : calculate Gain on index

=  24,720 - 24,000 / 24,000 = 0.03 = 3.00%

Total gain = Gain on index +  annual dividend / 2

                 = 3% + 0.75 / 2 = 3.375%

where risk free rate ( 6 months ) = gain on index / 2 = 1.5%

Calculate Return with the use of CAPM

= 1.5% + 1.25* ( 3.375% - 1.5% ) = 3.8438%

Hence value of portfolio after 6 months will be calculated as

= Current portfolio value * ( 1 + return )

= 15,576,562.50

Therefore the

Net value = portfolio value - loss from futures position

=<em>$15,310,562.50</em>
