Answer:

a. If the interest rate was 8%, how much would you have been prepared to bid for the prize?

this is an ordinary annuity:

annual payment = $9,420,713 / 20 = $471,035.65

number of periods = 19 periods

interest rate = 8%

therefore, the present value annuity factor = 9.6036

the present value of the annuity = $471,035.65 x 9.6036 = $4,523,637.97 ≈ $4,523,638

b. Enhance Reinsurance Company was reported to have offered S4.2 million. Use Excel to find the return that the company was looking for.

using the IRR function in Excel, the return that Enhance was looking for was 9.05%

If a portfolio had a return of 11 the risk-free asset return was 6, and the standard deviation of the portfolios excess returns
Sindrei [870]

The premium would be 5%

If a portfolio had a return of 11 the risk-free asset return was 6, and the standard deviation of the portfolios excess returns was 25 the premium would be 5%

Portfolio return = 11%

Risk free rate = 6%

Risk premium = Portfolio return - Risk free rate

                         = 11% - 6% =5%

So, the premium would be 5%

Premium is an amount paid periodically to the insurer by means of the insured for overlaying his chance.
