Question 16 a. Based on the following information, calculate the expected return and standard deviation for each of the following stocks. What are the covariance and correlation between the returns of the two stocks? Calculate the portfolio return and portfolio standard deviation if you invest equally in each asset. Returns State of Economy Prob J K Recession 0.25 -0.02 0.034 Normal 0.6 0.138 0.062 Boom 0.15 0.218 0.092 b.

Question II: Suppose the stock price is $40 and the effective annual interest rate is 8%. 1. Draw on a single graph payoff and profit diagrams for the following options: 35-strike call with a premium of $9.12. 40-strike call with a premium of $6.22. • 45-strike call with a premium of $4.08. • ● 2. Consider your payoff diagram with all three options graphed together. Intuitively, why should the option premium decrease with the strike price?

Assume that the risk-free rate and the beta remain unchanged. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to two decimal places. I. If the stock's beta is less than 1.0, then the change in required rate of return will be greater than the change in the market risk premium. II. If the stock's beta is greater than 1.0, then the change in required rate of return will be less than the change in the market risk premium. III. If the stock's beta is equal to 1.0, then the change in required rate of return will be greater than the change in the market risk premium. IV.
