This question will compare two different arbitrage situations. Recall that arbitrage should equalize rates of return. We want to explore what this implies about equalizing prices. In the first situation, two assets, A and B, will each make a single guaranteed payment of $100 in 1 year. But asset A has a current price of $80 while asset B has a current price of $90.a. Which asset has the higher expected rate of return at current prices? Given their rates of return, which asset should investors be buying and which asset should they be selling?b. Assume that arbitrage continues until A and B have the same expected rate of return. When arbitrage ceases, will A and B have the same price?Next, consider another pair of assets, C and D. Asset C will make a single payment of $150 in one year while D will make a single payment of $200 in one year. Assume that the current price of C is $120 and that the current price of D is $180.c. Which asset has the higher expected rate of return at current…
Suppose that we can describe the world using two states and that two assets are available, asset K an asset L. We assume the asset’s future prices have the following distribution
State
Future Price Asset K
Future Price Asset L
1
$55
$60
2
$45
$30
The current price of asset K is $50, and the current price of asset L is $50.
1. What are the values of the unit claims (C1 and C2 )?

- This is part a) question and it's answer in order to answer part b) question Question: You hold a consol that pays a coupon C in perpetuity. The current interest rate is i, and the average expectation in the market is that this will remain unchanged. What will be the price of the consol today? answer : According to the question we need to calculate the current price of the perpetual consol. Perpetual consoles are priced differently because their expected income is spread through an indefinite period. So, perpetual consoles are priced using the current yield. The current yield is calculated as:- coupon amountMarket price×100coupon amountMarket price×100 After calculating the current yield price is calculated by the above formula where, i = Current interest rate y = yield so, the price of this consol will be Price = i/y I please need the solutions for part b) question b) In the next period however, the interest rate changes unexpectedly to i .

- Assume a finite state economy with three assets whose payoff matrix is given by 30 20 50 D = 20 15 35 (a) Suppose that the asset prices are $28, $18, and $47, respectively. Is there an arbitrage opportunity in the market? (b) If the price of the third asset reduces to $46, is there an arbitrage oppor- tunity in the market?arrow_forwardIn a few sentences, answer the following question as completely as you can. The notion that money has time value is based on the existence of a non–zero opportunity rate (i.e., a rate of return at which it is possible to invest). Why is the opportunity rate so important? Construct an example that shows, with an opportunity rate of 0%, that the value of $1 received today will be $1 in the future.arrow_forwardYou are an investor in the world where short-selling assets is prohibited.

If so, state specifically what financial transaction? b) Now, assume the price for a futures contract with delivery in period 1 is K190. Can you make an arbitrage profit when this is the price? If so, state specifically what financial transaction you would make in 0 and period 1 to realize a profit. If not, explain?arrow_forward

- Q. A friend of yours tells you she holds an American call option that is very deep-in-the-money. She tells you she’s going to exercise it now and cash in on her winnings. Is this a wise move to make? - The answer to this question is given below but I don't understand the explanation, please clearly explain in simple terms. No, she should sell it. Sell now you get intrinsic value PLUS time value, rather than exercise now which leads to just S-X.arrow_forwardD6) Cap-rates and yields are often used as short-cut methods to estimate the value of a real estate asset.
