A forward contract exists for a unit of two-year government securities with delivery to take place three years from now. Suppose the price of these securities three years from now is uniformly distributed from a low $800 to a high of $1,400. The one-year expected riskless rate of interest is 5 percent for all periods under consideration. If investors are risk neutral, what should be the current forward price? Suppose now that investors are risk averse and that the forward price is $1,200. What do you know about the relationship between the market value of two-year government securities and overall consumption? Continue to assume (as in (ii)) that the current forward price (at time 0) is $1,200. One year from now (at time 1) the forward price for the same item and same delivery date is $1,000. Determine the time 1 value (to the buyer) of the contract that was agreed upon at time 0.
Suppose that you are considering an investment project with a two-year life. If the annual cash flows are given in terms of three-point estimates and these cash flows are statistically independent of each other, compute the mean and variance of the NPW distribution. Use a risk-free discount rate of 10%.
An insurance policy is written to cover a loss, X, where X has a uniform distribution on [0, 1000]. At what level must a deductible be set in order for the expected payment to be 25% of what it would be with no deductible?
Suppose losses follow a uniform distribution from 0 to 30,000. If there is a deductible of 3000, and maximum covered loss of 25000, what is the average payment per loss? Repeat above question, but calculate average amount paid per non-zero payment.
A company estimates that 0.1% of their product will fail after th original warranty period but within 2 years of the purchase, with a replacement cost of $350. If they offer a 2 year warranty for $18 , what is the company's expected value of each warranty sold?
The graph of a continuous probability distribution cannot have y-values larger than 1.
Let expected return and standard deviation of a risky portfolio are 10% and 18% respectively. Risk-free rate is 5%. If your risk-aversion coefficient is 2.5 (with this value your utility is maximised), what will be the expected return and standard deviation of the complete portfolio at the point where your indifference curve is tangent to the CAL?
After an automobile is 1 year old, its rate of depreciation at any time is proportional to its value at that time. If an automobile was purchased on March 1, 2022, and its values on March 1, 2023 and March 1, 2024, were $7000 and $5800 respectively, what is its expected value on March 1, 2028?
An investor wants to invest $300,000 in a portfolio of three mutual funds. The annual fund returns are normally distributed with a mean of 2% and standard deviation of 0.3% for the short-term investment fund, a mean of 5% and standard deviation of 3% for the intermediate-term fund, and a mean of 6.2% and standard deviation of 5% for the long-term fund. An initial plan for the investment allocation is 45% in the short-term fund, 35% in the intermediate-term fund, and 20% in the long-term fund. Use Analysis ToolPak, with a seed of 1, to develop a Monte Carlo simulation with 1000 trials to estimate the mean ending balance after the first year. Note: Round the final answer to two decimal places. If the allocation is changed to 30% short-term, 55% intermediate-term, and 15% long-term, estimate the ending balance after the first year. Note: Round the final answer to two decimal places. Compare the two investment strategies in parts a and b and choose the most appropriate answer…
Assume that interest rate is 0.02, growth rate of the Geometric Brownian Motion of the stock price is 0.03, and its volatility is 0.1. The current stock price is $100. If one independent sample from a standard normal distribution is 0.6, simulate the stock prices at t = 0.05 using the Euler-Maruyama scheme under the risk-neutral probability measure.
d. When the number of trials for a binominal distribution application becomes large, would developers of statistical software packages prefer to use the binomial distribution probability function shown in Section 5.5 or the normal approximation of the binomial distribution discussed in Section 6.3? Explain.
Suppose an electric-vehicle manufacturing company estimates that a driver who commutes 50 miles per day in a particular vehicle will require a nightly charge time of around 1 hour and 30 minutes (90 minutes) to recharge the vehicle's battery. Assume that the actual recharging time required is uniformly distributed between 70 and 110 minutes. What is the probability that the recharge time will be less than 101 minutes?(Enter your answer with three decimal places).
