- Clay Jensen is evaluating whether to purchase one of 2 different stocks and is considering the investment in isolation (he has no other investments). Clay believes stock A has equal probabilities of returning 6%, -10%, or 22%. He believes stock B has equal probabilities of returning 9%, -20%, or 35%. The risk-free rate is 4%. What is the appropriate measure to compare these two stocks and which investment should he choose?I asked the question below earlier today, and got a response, but I didn't understand it. I'm sure the response was well written and clear, but I have a very limited background in this area and probably need more of a layman's terms explanation! Thanks.

Assume the interest rate r=0 so present value calculations are unnecessary.Which of the following statements is TRUE regarding the Fisher Effect? A. The Fisher Effect illustrates the inverse relationship between inflation and nominal interest rates. B.

If prices rise by 7% and your salary increases by 9%, you will experience a gain of purchasing power D.

What is yourportfolio’s volatility?I have been working on the question below and I'm stuck on how to finish it up. I have provided what I've done so far. Is what I've done so far correct? And how do I finish up the problem? Here is the question: Suppose that C is the price of a European call option to purchase a security whose present price is S. Show that if C>S then there is an opportunity for arbitrage (i.e. risk-less profit). You may assume the interest rate is r=0 so that the present value calculations are unnecessary. My work so far: There is an opportunity for arbitrage if we can create a portfolio that initially (time t=0) generates a zero net cash flow or a cash inflow, but still produce a positive or zero cash inflow at the time of expiration. Assume we are going to short sell one call option C, and buy one stock S. Consider the cash flows at time t=0.Cash flow of selling one call option: +CCash flow of buying one stock: -STherefore, since C>S, we have an initial cash inflow of C-S>0. We will now…A game of chance offers the following odds and payoffs. Each play of the game costs $200, so the net profit per play is the payoff less $200.
