Step by step
Solved in 3 steps
- Assume investors are indifferent among security maturities. Today, the annualized 2-year interest rate is 2.20 percent, and the 1-year interest rate is 2 percent. What is the forward rate according to the pure expectations theory? Group of answer choices 2.25% 2.20% 2.00% 2.40%The real risk-free rate is 2.00%. Inflation is expected to be 1.50% this year and 4.75% during the next 2 years. Assume that the maturity risk premium is zero. What is the yield on 2-year Treasury securities? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. % What is the yield on 3-year Treasury securities? Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. %A non-dividend paying asset is current priced at $25 and the risk-free interest rate is 8% per annum. Today, you enter into a six-month futures contract to buy a unit of this asset. Three months from now the underlying price has fallen to $20 (but note that the interest rate has not moved). Which of the answers below is closest to the fall in the futures price? Use discrete discounting. a. $4.50 b. $6.50 c. $7.50 d. $5.50
- Consider the futures contract written on the S&P 500 index and maturing in one year. The interest rate is 3%, and the future value of dividends expected to be paid over the next year is $35. The current index level is 2,000. Assume that you can short sell the S&P index.a. Suppose the expected rate of return on the market is 8%. What is the expected level of the index in one year?b. What is the theoretical no-arbitrage price for a 1-year futures contract on the S&P 500 stock index?c. Suppose the actual futures price is 2,012. Is there an arbitrage opportunity here? If so, how would you exploit it?The current level of the S&P 500 is 2,800. The dividend yield on the S&P 500 is 2%. The risk-free interest rate is 1%. What should be the price of a one-year maturity futures contract? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)The S&P portfolio pays a dividend yield of 1% annually. Its current value is 1,300. The T-billrate is 4%. Suppose the S&P futures price for delivery in 1 year is 1,330. Construct an arbitragestrategy to exploit the mispricing and show that your profits 1 year hence will equal the mispricing in the futures market.
- The one-year futures price on a particular stock - index portfolio is 1,124.91, the stock index currently is 1, 116, the one-year risk-free interest rate is 2.61%, and the year-end dividend that will be paid on a $1,116 investment in the index portfolio is $13.73. By how much is the contract mispriced? future price - parity priceThe real risk-free rate is 2.36%, inflation is expected to be 4.75% this year, and the maturity risk premium is zero. What is the equilibrium rate of return on a 1-year Treasury security? (Express your answer as a percent and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)Suppose a stock is currently (time t = 0) worth 100. Further, suppose the one year annually compounded interest rate is 2%, and the two year annually compounded rate is 3%. Find the following:a) The forward price for a forward contract on the stock with maturity year T1 = 1. b) The forward price for a forward contract on the stock with maturity year T2 = 2.c) The forward price for a forward contract with maturity T1 = 1 on a ZCB with maturity T2 = 2.d) The forward price for a forward contract with maturity T1 = 1 on a forward contract on the stock with maturity T2 = 2 and delivery price K = 101.
- The real risk-free rate is 2.36%, inflation is expected to be 4.75% this year, and the maturity risk premium is zero. What is the equilibrium rate of return on a 1-year Treasury security? (your answer as a percent and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)A non-dividend paying asset is current priced at $25 and the risk-free interest rate is 8% per annum. Today, you enter into a six-month futures contract to buy a unit of this asset. Three months from now the underlying price has fallen to $18 (but note that the interest rate has not moved). Which of the answers below is closest to the fall in the futures price? Use discrete discounting. Question 7Answer a. $6.50 b. $5.50 c. $7.50 d. $4.50The S&P portfolio pays a dividend yield of 1% annually. Its current value is 2,000. The T-bill rate is 4%. Suppose the S&P futures price for delivery in 1 year is 2,050. Construct an arbitrage strategy to exploit the mispricing and show that your profits 1 year hence will equal the mispricing in the futures market.
