Answer:
2 cents
Explanation:
The spot price = $0.7000 = 70 cents, The forward rate = $0.6950 = 69.5 cents and the call option with striking price = $0.6800 = 68.00 cents
The annualized six month rate = 3 1/2 % = 3.5 %, therefore the rate = r/n, where n is the number of period per year = 2. Therefore r/n = 3.5% / 2 = 0.035 / 2 = 0.0175
The minimum price = Maximum (spot price - striking price, (forward rate - striking price) / (1 + 0.0175), 0) = Maximum(70 - 68, (69.5 - 68)/ 0.0175, 0)
Minimum price = Maximum (2 , 1.47, 0) = 2 cents
Answer:
The answer is below
Explanation:
Probability distribution are statistical function that shows all the possible outcomes of a random variable within a given range of values.
a) The mean (
) of a probability distribution of a discrete random variable is:
![\bar x=\Sigma\ [xP(x)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cbar%20x%3D%5CSigma%5C%20%5BxP%28x%29%5D)
= (0 * 0.8) + (1 * 0.15) + (2 * 0.04) + (3 * 0.01) = 0.26
b) The standard deviation (σ) of a probability distribution of a discrete random variable is:
![\sigma=\sqrt{ \Sigma\ [(x-\bar x)^2*P(x)]}\\\\\sigma=\sqrt{(0-0.26)^2*0.8+(1-0.26)^2*0.15+(2-0.26)^2*0.04+(3-0.26)^2*0.01} \\\\\sigma=0.577](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csigma%3D%5Csqrt%7B%20%5CSigma%5C%20%5B%28x-%5Cbar%20x%29%5E2%2AP%28x%29%5D%7D%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Csigma%3D%5Csqrt%7B%280-0.26%29%5E2%2A0.8%2B%281-0.26%29%5E2%2A0.15%2B%282-0.26%29%5E2%2A0.04%2B%283-0.26%29%5E2%2A0.01%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Csigma%3D0.577)
Answer: 45%
Explanation:
Standard deviation for the portfolio will be a weighted average of the standard deviations of the individual assets.
Risky asset has standard deviation of 20%. Assume the weight is x.
Treasury bills have a standard deviation of 0 as they have no risk. Assume their weight is y.
Target Standard deviation is 9%.
Formula would be:
9% = (x * 20%) + (y * 0%)
20%x = 9%
x = 9% / 20%
x = 45%
