- D3) Finance IS THIS TRUE OR FALSE? with proof if you can. "An investor is drawing the graph of implied volatility as a function of moneyness (wheremoneyness is measured as strike price divided by today’s stock price) for options on theexchange rate SEK/USD, using 3 months options with various strikes. According to theBlack-Scholes-Merton model the graph should, if markets are free of arbitrage, look like asmile with at-the-money options having low implied volatility and out-of the money andin-the-money options having high implied volatility" Is this statement true or false?arrow_forwardA4 5a Consider the following information on three stocks in four possible future states of the economy: Rate of return if state occurs State of economy Probability of state of economy Stock A Stock B Stock C Boom 0.3 0.35 0.45 0.38 Good 0.3 0.15 0.20 0.12 Poor 0.3 0.05 –0.10 –0.05 Bust 0.1 0.00 –0.30 –0.10 a.

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.arrow_forward
