A bank has written a call option on one stock and a put option on another stock. For the first option the stock price is 50, the

Answer:

10-Day 99% VaR = 3.61

Explanation:

Data Given:

For First Option:

Stock Price = 50

Strike Price = 51

Volatility = 28% per annum

Time to maturity = 9 months

For Second Option:

Stock Price = 20

Strike Price = 19

Volatility = 25% per annum

Time to maturity = 12 months or 1 year

Risk Free Rate = 6% per annum

Correlation = 0.4

Find 10-day 99% VaR.

Solution:

First of all we need to refer the DerivaGem Model to dig out the change in price equation for both the options.

So, according to DerivaGem Model, We have following data:

For First Option:

Value = -5.413

Delta Value = -0.589

For Second Option:

Value = -1.014

Delta = -0.284

Change in Price = (Delta value of First Option x Stock Price)Y1 + (Delta value of the second option x Stock Price)Y2

Change in Price = (-0.589 x 50)Y1 + (-0.284 x 20)Y2

So, We will get the Change in Price Linear Equation for both the options.

Change in Price = -29.45Y1 -5.68Y2

Now, we have to calculate the Daily Volatility Percentage.

Formula:

Daily Volatility Percentage = Volatility/ Square root of number of days active in annum

Number of Days Active = 252

Volatility for First Option = 28%

Volatility for Second Option = 25%

Daily Volatility Percentage for First Option = 28%/ $\sqrt{252}$

Daily Volatility Percentage for First Option = 0.0176

Similarly,

Daily Volatility Percentage for Second Option = 25%/ $\sqrt{252}$

Daily Volatility Percentage for Second Option = 0.0157

Now, utilizing the above calculated data, we can find the one-day variance of change in price.

1-Day Variance = $(29.45^{2} *0.0176^{2}) + (5.68^{2} * 0.0157^{2}) - (2 * 29.45 * 0.0176 * 5.68 * 0.0157 * 0.4)$

Solving the above equation:

We get:

1-Day Variance = 0.2396

Now, we have to find the standard deviation of 1-Day Variance:

SD of 1-Day Variance = $\sqrt{0.2396}$

SD of 1-Day Variance = 0.4895

So,

Now, in order to find the value of one day 99% VaR from the table, we have all the prerequisites.

So,

Value of One day 99% VaR from table = 2.33

But we need 10-Day 99% VaR.

So, number of days = 10

Hence,

10-Day 99% VaR = $0.4895 * 2.33 * \sqrt{10}$

10-Day 99% VaR = 3.61

Answer:

24,000 units

Explanation:

We know,

According to the contribution margin approach,

Operating Income (EBIT) = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed cost

or, EBIT = (Price x Quantity) - (Quantity x VC per unit) - Fixed cost

As there are two methods,

Method 1, Variable cost = $1.00/unit, Fixed cost = $17,000

Method 2, Variable cost = $1.50/unit, Fixed cost = $5,000

According to the Question, as both methods will yield same EBIT at the same output levels,

Method 1 EBIT = Method 2 EBIT

or, (Price x Quantity) - (Quantity x $1.00) - 17,000 = (Price x Quantity) - (Quantity x $1.50) - $5,000

or, (Quantity x $1.50) - (Quantity x $1.00) = $(17,000 - 5,000) [Deducted (price x quantity from both the sides]

or, $0.50 x Quantity = $12,000

or, Quantity = $12,000/$0.50

Hence, Quantity = 24,000 units

At 24,000 output level, the EBIT of both methods will be same.

Answer:

The present Value of my winnings = $4,578,716.35

Explanation:

An annuity is a series od annual cash outflows or inflows which payable or receivable for a certain number of periods. If the annual cash flow is expected to increase by a certain percentage yearly, it is called a growing annuity.

To work out the the present value of a growing annuity,

we the formula:

PV = A/(r-g) × (1- (1+g/1+r)^n)

I will break out the formula into two parts to make the workings very clear to follow. So applying this formula, we can work out the present value of the growing annuity (winnings) as follows.

A/(r-g)

= 460,000/(12%-3%)

= $5,111,111.11

(1- (1+g/1+r)^n

1 - (1+3%)/(1+12%)^(27)

=0.8958

PV = A/(r-g) × (1- (1+g/1+r)^n)

$5,111,111.11 × $0.8958

= $4,578,716.35

The present Value of my winnings = $4,578,716.35
