Homework Answers
Answer:
Let the state prices be p1,p2 and p3
For asset A
10p1+5p2=5(1+r)
For asset B
5p2+10(1-p1-p2)=4.6(1+r)
5.4-4.6r=10p1+5p2
5.4-4.6r=5(1+r)
r=1/24
For asset C
7p1+4p2+4(1-p1-p2)=4.59(1+r)
4-3p1=4.59(25/24)=4.78125
p1=0.78125/3=0.2642
p2=25/24-2(0.2642)=0.5133
p3=0.2223
Risk free rate is 100/24%
Price of asset D
=(5*0.2642+5*0.2223)*24/25
=2.3342

The outcome can be either good or bad. The probability that
the good outcome realizes is 50%. The cash flow is shown in the
above table. Given the riskiness of the business, investors require
a 15% risk premium over the risk-free rate of 5%. To answer this,
make appropriate assumptions. In answering the following questions,
show detailed steps and discuss your results.

There are three assets, A, B and C, where A is the market portfolio and C is the risk-free asset. The return on the market has a mean of 12% and a standard deviation of 20%. The risk-free asset yields a return of 4%. Asset B is a risky asset whose return has a standard deviation of 40% and a market beta of 1. Assume that the CAPM holds. Compute the expected return of asset B and its covariances with...

7. Suppose that an insurance company classifies people into one of three classes: good risks, average risks, and bad risks. The company's records indicate that the probabilities that good-, average-, and bad-risk persons will be involved in an accident over a 1-year span are, respectively, .05, .15, and .30. If 20 percent of the population is a good risk, 50 percent an average risk, and 30 percent & bad risk, determine the following: (a) the probability that a randomly selected...

Consider a market model with three assets: two risky assets (#1 and #2) and one risk-free asset (#3). The risk-free rate of interest is r = 3%. The parameters of the risky returns are as follows: 02 = 15%, Mi = 6%, H2 = 9%, 01 = 10%, P12 = -10%. 1. Let u(x) and g(x) with xe (-0,00) denote, respectively, the expected return and volatility of my portfolio if I allocate 100x% of...
