Shorter Problems

1.Refer to the following table to answer this question.

Listing of LePlastrier Options (symbol: LLB)

(Prices listed are closing prices.)

February 27, 2009

Answer the following questions:

(a) For the call options, what happens to the option prices as the exercise price increases?

The puts?

(b) What is the price of a February LLB 110 put?

(c) What is the option price of a January LLB 107 call?

(d) What is the tangible value of an April LLB 113 put?

(e) What is the tangible value of a February LLB 110 call?

(f) In what state is the January LLB 113 call?

(g) In what state is the April LLB 110 put?

Answer:

(a) For call options, we notice that as the exercise price increases, the price of the

call decreases. For the put options, we notice that as the exercise price increases,

the price of the put increases.

(b) February LLB 110 put: = $5.875

(c) January LLB 107 call:= $3.375

(d) The April LLB 113 put is in the money.

Tangible value = $113.00 – $109.875 = $3.125

15-16

15-17

(e) The February LLB 110 call is out of the money, so its tangible value is zero. (f) January LLB 113 call: Strike price > Stock price, so this option is out of the money. (g) April LLB 110 put: Strike price > Stock price, so this option is in the money.

2. Is it possible to insure against downside price risk? If so, describe how you would achieve this. Answer: Yes it is. Buy a share of stock and a put option. Such an approach is called a protective

put strategy.

3. The stock of LaDolce Vita Ltd, currently lists for $350.00 a share, while one-year European call

options on this stock with an exercise price of $150 sell for $280 and European put options with the same expiration date and exercise price sell for $69.53. (a) Infer the yield on a one-year zero-coupon U.S. government bond sold today. (b) If the yield is actually at 8%, construct a profitable trade to exploit the potential for

arbitrage.

Answer: Use the put-call parity relation. (a) S + P =

E

(1 + r ) + C

350 + 69.53 = 150

1 + r

+ 280

r 7.5%

(b) Yield is actually 8%. A potential trade to exploit the potential for arbitrage is as follows:

350 + 69.53 = E/1.08 + 280 E = 150.69

So the bonds are underpriced by approximately 69 cents.

We might want to acquire a long position in bonds, which consists of long positions in one share and one put and writing one call. This will earn an immediate revenue. = $350 + 69.53 – 280 = $139.53

If we use this revenue to purchase a portion of the one-year bond, at expiration the bond pays off $150.69, while the portfolio you sold requires payment of $150.

4.Consider a stock of Capote Ltd. This stock can take only one of two values a year from now, either

$220 or $70. Also consider a call option on Capote stock with an exercise price of $150 expiring in a year. At expiration, the call will pay either $70 if the stock price is $220 or it will pay nothing if the stock price is $70. What is the option’s hedge ratio?

Answer:

Hedge ratio = range of option values/range of stock values

= 70/150

= 0.47

The hedge ratio for this call option is 0.47.

5.Consider a stock of Santana Inc. This stock can take only one of two values a year from now, either

$220 or $70. Also, consider a put option on Santana stock with an exercise price of $150 expiring in a year. At expiration, the put will pay either $80 if the stock price is $70 or it will pay nothing if the stock price is $220. What is the option’s hedge ratio?

Answer:

Hedge ratio = range of option values/range of stock values

= 80/150

= 0.53

The hedge ratio for this call option is 0.53.

CHAPTER 12 CHOOSING AN INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO Objectives ?To understand the process of personal investing in theory and in practice. ?To build a quantitative model of the tradeoff between risk and reward. Outline 12.1 The Process of Personal Portfolio Selection 12.2 The Trade-off between Expected Return and Risk 12.3 Efficient Diversification with Many Risky Assets Summary ?There is no single portfolio selection strategy that is best for all people. ?Stage in the life cycle is an imp ortant determinant of the optimal composition of a person’s optimal portfolio of assets and liabilities. ?Time horizons are important in portfolio selection. We distinguish among three time horizons: the planning horizon, the decision horizon, and the trading horizon. ?In making portfolio selection decisions, people can in general achieve a higher expected rate of return only by exposing themselves to greater risk. ?One can sometimes reduce risk without lowering expected return by diversifying more completely either within a given asset class or across asset classes. ?The power of diversification to reduce the riskiness of an investor’s portfolio depends on the correlations among the assets that make up the portfolio. In practice, the vast majority of assets are positively correlated with each other because they are all affected by common economic factors. Consequently, one’s ability to reduce risk through diversification among risky assets without lowering expected return is limited. ?Although in principle people have thousands of assets to choose from, in practice they make their choices from a menu of a few final products offered by financial intermediaries such as bank accounts, stock and bond mutual funds, and real estate. In designing and producing the menu of assets to offer to their customers these intermediaries make use of the latest advances in financial technology.

博迪《金融学》第2版课后习题及详解(金融学)【圣才出品】

博迪《金融学》第2版课后习题及详解 第1章金融学 一、概念题 1.金融学(finance) 答:金融学是一项针对人们怎样跨期配置稀缺资源的研究。其主要研究货币领域的理论及货币资本资源的配置与选择、货币与经济的关系及货币对经济的影响、现代银行体系的理论和经营活动的经济学科,是当代经济学的一个相对独立而又极为重要的分支。金融学所涵盖的内容极为丰富,诸如货币原理、货币信用与利息原理、金融市场与银行体系、储蓄与投资、保险、信托、证券交易、货币理论、货币政策、汇率及国际金融等。 2.金融体系(financial system) 答:金融体系是金融市场以及其他金融机构的集合,这些集合被用于金融合同的订立以及资产和风险的交换。金融体系是由连接资金盈余者和资金短缺者的一系列金融中介机构和金融市场共同构成的一个有机体,包括股票、债券和其他金融工具的市场、金融中介(如银行和保险公司)、金融服务公司(如金融咨询公司)以及监控管理所有这些单位的管理机构等。研究金融体系如何发展演变是金融学科的重要方面。 3.资产(assets) 答:资产是指个人、公司或者组织拥有的具有商业或交换价值的任何物品,它能在未来产生经济利益,资产有三个非常重要的特征:①能在未来产生经济利益;②由实体控制;③由过去发生的事项或交易产生。

在国民账户体系中,资产是指经济资产,即所有者能对其行使所有权,并在持有或使用期间可以从中获得经济利益的资源或实体。资产可分为金融资产和非金融资产两大类。金融资产是指以价值形态或以金融工具形式存在的资产,它包括金融债权以及货币黄金和特别提款权。非金融资产是指非金融性的资产,它包括生产资产和非生产资产。 在企业财务会计中,资产是指由过去的交易和事项所形成的,并由企业拥有或控制,预期会给企业带来经济利益的资源。按流动性可分为流动资产和非流动资产两大类。流动资产是指企业可以在一年或超过一年的一个营业周期内变现或者耗用的资产。非流动资产是指不能在一年或者超过一年的一个营业周期内变现或耗用的资产。 4.资产配置(asset allocation) 答:资产分配是指将投资在各种资产(如股票、债券、不动产和现金等)中进行分配的过程。根据某人或者某机构特定情况和目标进行资产分配,可使投资的风险—收益组合最优化。资产配置是财务规划和资金管理中的一个重要概念。 5.负债(liability) 答:负债是指一个经济主体对另一个经济主体应尽的偿还义务,即应偿付的债务。常用的负债概念有金融负债和企业负债。金融负债指金融交易中的负债,它与金融债权相对应。金融债权和金融债务产生于一个经济主体向另一个经济主体提供资金时所缔结的契约关系,是同时对应存在的。企业负债指过去的交易、事项形成的现时义务,履行该义务预期会导致经济利益流出企业。企业负债按流动性分为流动负债和长期负债。流动负债指应在一年或者在超过一年的一个营业周期内偿还的债务;长期负债指偿还期在一年以上或者在超过一年的一个营业周期以上的负债。

金融学(第二版)答案 博迪默顿 第一章课后习题答案 一 . 我的生活目标: ●完成学业 ●找到一份自己喜欢且收入不菲的工作 ●结婚和生养子女 ●拥有我自己的房子 ●供养我的家庭生活 ●供养孩子上学 ●退休 在我实现目标的过程中,金融所扮演的角色: 答案样例:1,金融现在可以为我提供大学本科及研究生教育的学费并帮我完成学业,帮我决定投资于上学是否是一个好的投资决定 2,高等教育可以帮助提高我赚钱的能力以及获得一个我喜欢的工作的能力 3,当我结婚并且有了孩子以后,我就有了额外的金融责任(以具体情况

负债包括:学生贷款 信用卡结余的差额 各种租用金的协定(不包括转租) 应付车款 在计算净值时学生会特别地排除了他们一生潜在的赚钱能力的价值 三.一个单身汉之需要养活他自己,所以他可以独立自主的作出金融决策。如果他不想购买健康保险(而愿意承担由这个决定而带来的金融风险)那么除了这个单身汉自身,没谁会受这个决定的影响。另外,他不需要在家庭成员之间分配收入这件事上做任何决定。单身汉是很灵活自由的,可以选择住在几乎任何地方。他主要是在今天的消费(开支)和为明天储蓄之间做出权衡决策。既然他只需要养活他自己,那么他储蓄的重要性就比对一家之主的重要性小。 有许多孩子的一家之长必须在这些家庭成员中分配资源[或者说是收入].他们必须随时准备着处理各种风险,比如说潜在财政危机的突然发生[诸如家庭成员经历的严重健康问题,或者

因为火灾和其他疏忽导致的保险问题].因为在一般一个家庭里人会比较多,有些人生病或受伤的风险就会更大.并且因为家庭中有许多依赖性的个体,所以薪水收入者得认真地考虑生活和残疾保险.还有,家庭并不像个体那样富有机动性,这是因为有了适龄儿童的缘故,这个家庭会想离所谓好的学校近一点,同时良好的教育会对孩子将来的生活和财政状况有所裨益.因此一家之主的资源配置会更加的复杂:要有更多的钱于目前的消费(这也是他或她需要来抚养成员的),但是同时又需要更多的钱储蓄起来以支付未来的费用,诸如教育和房屋购置,还有风险投资,比如生活和残障保险. 四.在双收入家庭中,家庭失去全部经济收入的风险比单收入家庭要小,同时,单收入家庭比双收入家庭更愿意购买残疾保险,人身保险.然而,如果单收入家庭需要有人照顾放学后回家的孩子,他们还要再支付照看小孩的额外费用. 五.学生们结合他们具体的经历和看法会给出不同的答案。很多的人很可能会说应该是在完成学业,并获得一份可观收入的工作之后实现经济上的独立。

CHAPTER 10 AN OVERVIEW OF RISK MANAGEMENT Objectives ?To explore how risk affects financial decision-making. ?To provide a conceptual framework for the management of risk. ?To explain how the financial system facilitates the efficient allocation of risk-bearing. Outline 10.1 What Is Risk? 10.2 Risk and Economic Decisions 10.3 The Risk Management Process 10.4 The Three Dimensions of Risk Transfer 10.5 Risk Transfer and Economic Efficiency 10.6 Institutions for Risk Management 10.7 Portfolio Theory: Quantitative Analysis for Optimal Risk Management 10.8 Probability Distributions of Returns Summary ?Risk is defined as uncertainty that matters to people. Risk management is the process of formulating the benefit-cost trade-offs of risk-reduction and deciding on a course of action to take. Portfolio theory is the quantitative analysis of those trade-offs to find an optimal course of action. ?All risks are ultimately borne by people in their capacity as consumers, stakeholders of firms and other economic organizations, or taxpayers. ?The riskiness of an asset or a transaction cannot be assessed in isolation or in the abstract; it depends on the specific frame of reference. In one context, the purchase or sale of a particular asset may add to one’s risk exposure; in another, the same transaction may be risk-reducing. ?Speculators are investors who take positions that increase their exposure to certain risks in the hope of increasing their wealth. In contrast, hedgers take positions to reduce their exposures. The same person can be a speculator on some exposures and a hedger on others. ?Many resource-allocation decisions, such as saving, investment, and financing decisions, are significantly influenced by the presence of risk and therefore are partly risk-management decisions. ?We distinguish among five major categories of risk exposures for households: sickness, disability, and death; job loss; consumer-durable asset risk; liability risk; and financial asset risk. ?Firms face several categories of risks: production risk, price risk of outputs, and price risk of inputs. ?There are five steps in the risk-management process: risk identification, risk assessment, selection of risk-management techniques, implementation, review. ?There are four techniques of risk management: r isk avoidance, loss prevention and control, risk retention, risk transfer. ?There are three dimensions of risk transfer: hedging, insuring, and diversifying. ?Diversification improves welfare by spreading risks among many people, so that the existing uncertainty matters less. ?From society’s perspective risk-management institutions contribute to economic efficiency in two important ways. First, they shift risk away from those who are least willing or able to bear it to those who are most willing to bear it. Second, they cause a reallocation of resources to production and consumption in accordance with the new distribution of risk-bearing. By allowing people to reduce their exposure to the risk of undertaking certain business ventures, they may encourage entrepreneurial behavior that can have a benefit to society. ?Over the centuries, various economic organizations and contractual arrangements have evolved to facilitate a more efficient allocation of risk-bearing by expanding the scope of diversification and the types of risk that are shifted. ?Among the factors limiting the efficient allocation of risks are transactions costs and problems of adverse selection and moral hazard.
