Assets | High Growth | Medium Growth | Low Growth |
A | 30 | 60 | 80 |
B | 60 | 50 | 40 |
C | 30 | 60 | 60 |
D | 50 | 25 | 0 |
The prices of the assets A,B and C are 56.60, 47.90 and 49.80 respectively.
(a) The state price of the three states are as follows,
High Growth State = 1698 + 2874 + 1494 + 0 = 6066
Medium Growth State = 3396 + 2395 + 2988 + 0 = 8779
Low Growth State = 4528 + 1916 + 2988 + 0 = 9432
(b) The risk free rate = ( 154.3 / 24277 ) x 100% ~ 0.64%

#6. A car insurance company has high-risk, medium-risk, and low-risk clients, who have, respectively, probabilities.04,.02, and.01 of filing claims within a given year. The proportions of the numbers of clients in the three categories are .15, .25, and.60, respectively (a) What is the probability that a random client doesn't file a claim? (b) What proportion of the claims filed each year come from high-risk clients? (c) What is the probability that a random client who didn't file a claim is...
There are three equally likely states of nature (High, Medium, and Low demand). If the large factory will post profits of $50,000, $25,000, and - $10,000 under these states of nature, respectively, what is the EMV of the factory?
Assume that the economy could experience three possible "states," next year: High Growth, Normal Growth, and Recession; and that this table shows the probablilities of each state happening and the returns to the stock market if they happen: State of the Economy Probability Return High Growth 0.2 +30% Normal Growth 0.7 +12% Recession 0.1 -15% Do EACH of the following calculations: What is the expected payoff of a $1000 investment over the following year? What is the Expected Return to...
The following table lists the anticipated profits of four operations under three scenarios. Low Medium High Options Demand Demand Demand Plan A 110 160 180 Plan B 100 130 160 Plan C 145 110 185 Plan D 140 120 155 For the situation given in the table above (same data as question #22), assume that the probabilities of the outcomes are known to be a 60% chance of low demand, 20% chance of medium demand, and 20% chance of high...

Imperial Mining is a coal company that produces three grades of coal-High, Medium, and Low-in fixed proportions. The joint costs of mining total $1,770,000. In a typical month, the company will mine 20,480 tons of High-Grade, 30,720 tons of Medium-Grade, and 10,240 tons of Low-Grade coal. Market prices have been relatively stable at $60 per ton for High-Grade, $40 per ton for Medium- Grade, and $10 per ton for Low-Grade. There are no costs to refine the individual grades of...

An insurance company offers four different deductible levels-none, low, medium, and high-for its homeowner's policyholders and three different levels-low, medium, and high -for its automobile policyholders. The accompanying table gives proportions for the various categories of policyholders who have both types of insurance. For example, the proportion of individuals with both low homeowner's deductible and low auto deductible is 0.07 (7% of all such individuals). Auto 0.05 0.20 0.15 Suppose an individual having both types of policies is randomly selected....
Problem 9: Which of the following statements about the role of institutions in economic growth is TRUE and which of the following statements is FALSE? Explain. (a) Higher expropriation risk due to low-quality governance and poor insti- tutions might account for low levels of human and public capital in poor nations (b) The quality of institutions in countries colonized by Europeans is corre- lated with whether climate/disease allowed European settlers to live in those areas (c) Low-quality institutions make it...
