Explanation:

Given data :

Risk free rate = 3%

current price ( market price ) = $25

Delta of  1-year at money European call on MCD = 0.5

<u>Determine how many shares of MCD John should either Long or short to achieve a delta-neutral </u>

x ( number of shares ) =  - [ 4 * 0.5  + 1 ( 0.5 - 1 ) ]

                                     = - 1.5 shares

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Actual Yiel to maturity is 9.3%

Explanation:

Yield to maturity is the annual rate of return that an investor receives if a bond bond is held until the maturity.

Face value = F = $1,000

Coupon payment = $1,000 x 4% = $40

Selling price = P = $785

Number of payment = n = 5 years

Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $40 + ( $1,000 - $785 ) / 5 ] / [ ( 1,000 + $785 ) / 2 ]

Yield to maturity = [ $40 + $43 ] / $892.5  = $83 /$892.5 = 0.0645 = 0.093%
