Answer: 2.09
Explanation:
Given the following ;
Strike price (K) = $50
Price (c) = $6
Rate (r) = 6% = 0.06
Stock price (So) = $51
Time (T) = 1
Recall, relation for a put-call parity(p) is given by:
p + So = c + Ke^-(rT)
p = c + [Ke^-(rT)] - So
p = 6 + [50e^-(0.06 × 1)] - 51
p = 6 + [50×e^-0.06] - 51
p = 6 + (50 × 0.9417645) - 51
p = 6 + 47.0882267 - 51
p = 53.0882267 - 51
p = 2.0882267
p = 2.09

Answer:
a) i) 13.5% ii) risk on portfolio = 13.63%
b) Volatility of the portfolio (13.65%) is < Volatilities of the individual indexes
Explanation:
<u>A) Determine the return and risk of the portfolio</u>
i) Return [ E(r^p) ] = ∑ wi*ri ---- ( 1 )
where : wi = weight of stocks , ri = rate of return ( estimated ) N = number of stocks
Back to equation 1
E(r^p) = (0.5*14% ) + (0.5*13% ) = 13.5%
<em>ii) risk of portfolio </em>
we can determine the risk of portfolio using the equation below
Vol [ r( t + 1 , $ ) + s ( t + 1 ) ] ( volatility on Japanese equity ) = 13.63%
attached below is the remaining solution
<u>b) comparing the Volatilities </u>
Volatility of the portfolio (13.65%) is < Volatilities of the individual indexes ( i.e. volatility of US return ( 15.5% ) , Volatility of EAFE return ( 16.5% ) )
Answer: $446
Explanation:
Antoine will receive the same basis in the stock that was in the property.
The Corporation however, assumed $78 of the liability of the property transferred which would reduce Antoine's basis in that property
Antoine's basis = Property base - Liability assumed by corporation
= 524 - 78
= $446
