Q3)Unique vs. Market Risk. The figure below shows plots of monthly rates of return on three stocks versus the stock market index. The beta and standard deviation of each stock is given besides its plot.
Which stock is riskiest to a diversified investor?
Which stock is riskiest to an undiversified investor who puts all her funds in one of these stocks?
Consider a portfolio with equal investments in each stock. What would this portfolio’s beta have been?
Consider a well-diversified portfolio made up of stocks with the same beta as Exxon. What are the beta and standard deviation of this portfolio’s return? The standard deviation of the market portfolio’s return is 20 percent.
What is the expected rate of return on each stock? Use the capital asset pricing model with a market risk premium of 8 percent. The risk-free rate of interest is 4 percent.
Question 2. At current time t a stock paying no income has price 45, the forward price with maturity T on the stock is 40, and the price of a zero coupon bond with maturity T is 0.95. Determine whether there is an arbitrage opportunity. If there is, find an arbitrage portfolio. Verify the portfolio you construct is an arbitrage portfolio.
Data: S0 = 102; X = 115; 1 + r = 1.1. The two possibilities for ST are 146 and 84.
Required:
The range of S is 62 while that of P is 31 across the two states. What is the hedge ratio of the put?
Form a portfolio of one share of stock and two puts. What is the (nonrandom) payoff to this portfolio?
What is the present value of the portfolio?
Given that the stock currently is selling at 102, calculate the put value.
