Answer:

All requirements solved

Explanation:

Utility if you buy them online or if you can get them in Tijuana can be calculated as follows

Requirement a. Buy online  

Y=1000-200=800

U=ln(800)=2.90

Requirement b. Buy from Tijuana

Y=1000-20-50=930  

U=ln(930)=2.97

Requirement c.

p(1000-20-50)=(1-p)(1000-200)

930p=800-800p

p=0.46

Requirement d. expected income from buying in tijuana:

=0.6(1000-60-50)+0.4(1000-20-50)

=534+372

=906 > 800(income from buying online)

So buy from tijuana

Ronch [10]

Answer:

The payoff of your portfolio shows a risk-less with time-T and stock value equal to $10.

The risk-free interest rate must be 5.26%

Explanation:

position                 Sr<10       Sr>10

buy stock               Sr              Sr

short call                  0             -(Sr - 10)

long call                   10 - Sr       0

total                           10              10

Therefore, The payoff of your portfolio shows a risk-less with time-T and stock value equal to $10.

risk - free interest rate = [[strike price/expected value]/net cost] - 1

                                      = [10/9.5] - 1

                                      = 5.26%
