[MULTIPLE] Suppose you hold a share of ABF stock. You consider a protective put position with 3-month expiration and exercise price of 200 GBp. You purchased the stock at 300 GBp and the premium of put option is 10 GBp. Which of the following statements are correct? Selected Answers: If the stock price is 240 GBp at 3-month expiry, the value of the portfolio at 3-month expiry is 240 GBp. Answers: If the stock price higher than 200GBP at 3-month expiry, the value of the portfolio at 3-month expiry is 0 GBp. If the stock price is 240 GBp at 3-month expiry, the value of the portfolio at 3-month expiry is 240 GBp. If the stock price lower than 200GBP at 3-month expiry, the value of the portfolio at 3-month expiry is 0 GBp. The value of the portfolio at 3-month maturity cannot be higher than 300 GBp. The value of the portfolio at 3-month maturity cannot be lower than 200 GBp.

QUESTION 2 Elizabeth has decided to form a portfolio by putting 30% of her money into stock 1 and 70% into stock 2. She assumes that the expected returns will be 10% and 18%, respectively, and that the standard deviations will be 15% and 24%, respectively. Describe what happens to the standard deviation of the portfolio returns when the coefficient of correlation ρ decreases. The standard deviation of the portfolio returns decreases as the coefficient of correlation decreases. The standard deviation of the portfolio returns increases as the coefficient of correlation increases. The standard deviation of the portfolio returns decreases as the coefficient of correlation increases. The standard deviation of the portfolio returns increases as the coefficient of correlation decreases.

D & R A1 9 - 2 Question 9. Price Sensitivity Hedge Mr. Toriop manages a bond portfolio valued at $27,492,045. The bonds in this portfolio have a face value of $25 million. The portfolio has a yield of 8.35 percent and a duration of 7.67. Mr. Toriop is worried that interest rates will rise within the next year. He would like to lower the duration of your bond portfolio to 5 years. He finds a one-year bond futures contract and thinks that it would be an appropriate hedge for your portfolio. This futures contract is priced at 109 17/32, has an implied yield of 8 percent, and has an implied duration of 7.9 years. The futures contract size is $100,000. How many contracts should Mr. Toriop use?
Which statement about portfolio diversification is CORRECT? i) Typically, as more securities are added to a portfolio, total risk would be expected to decrease at an increasing rate.ii) Proper diversification can reduce or eliminate total risk.iii) The risk-reducing benefits of diversification do not occur meaningfully until at least 50-60 individual securities have been purchased.iv) Because diversification reduces a portfolio's total risk, it necessarily reduces the portfolio's expected return.
You expect KT Industries (KTI) will have earnings per share of $4.6 this year and expect that they will pay out $1.66 of these earnings to shareholders in the form of a dividend. KTI's return on new investments is 11% and their equity cost of capital is 16%. KTI's dividend growth rate is _________ (Round to two decimal places) If KTI's dividend growth rate will remain constant, and KTI's next year dividend is $1.78, then KTI's current stock price should be ________ (Round to two decimal places)
INV 1 5ai Suppose that you have the following utility function: U=E(r) – ½ Aσ2 and A=3 Suppose that you have $10 million to invest for one year and you want to invest that money into ETFs tracking the S&P 500 (US) and S&P/TSX 60 (Canada) index, which are often used as proxies for the US and Canadian stock markets, respectively, and the Canadian one-year T-bill. Assume that the interest rate of the one-year T-bill is 0.35% per annum. You have found two ETFs that you are interested in. From a set of their historical data between 2001 and 2019, you have estimated the annual expected returns, standard deviations, and covariance as follows: ETFUS : E(r)= 0.070584 standard deviation = 0.173687 ETFCDA : E(r)= 0.073763 standard deviation = 0.16816 Covariance between ETFUS and ETFCDA = 0.02397 What is the portfolio expected return for ETFUS?
