a) An investor is given the following information: Payoff State 1 State 2 Security Market prices (s=1) (s=2) X £15 £20 PJ = £19 Y £25 £10 PK = £25 Explaining the method(s) and the underlining concept(s), how could the investor use Arrow- Debreu pure securities to replicate the payoff of security X and security Y? What are the prices of pure security 1 and pure security 2? b) Explaining the method, compute the capital weights on portfolios of X and Y assets that replicate the payoffs of pure securities 1 and 2. Further consider that an investor has an initial wealth of £1000 - he can short-sell securities; however, he must be able to meet all claims under the occurrence of either state.
