Answer:

Expected Portfolio return = 0.5(10)+0.5(13)= 5+6.5=11.5%

Expected Portfolio SD= 0.5(20)+0.5(30)= 25%

Beta of A, 10= 5+B(6)

5=6B

B= 5/6= 0.833

B of B, 13=5+B(6)

8=6B

B=8/6

B=1.33

b. Portfolio AB's standard deviation is 25%

c. Stock A's beta is 0.8333

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

a.) The proportional up movement , u, for the currency can be calculated using the following formula:

u = eStd Dev * Square root of t

u = e0.06*square root of 0.25

u = 1.0305

b.) Probability of up movement, p , = (a - d) / (u - d)

where   a = ert where r = 0.025, t = 0.25

a = e0.025*0.25 = 1.0063

d = 1 / u = 1 / 1.3050 = 0.7663

p = (1.0063-0.7663) / (1.3050-0.7663)

p = 0.46

1-p = 1-0.46 = 0.54

c)  Price of an American Call Option on the currency : we use binomial tree for that , as follows: The amounts below line indicate the option price and figures above line indicate the underlying asset price which is 0.55555
