Consider the following data on a one-factor economy. All portfolios are well-diversified. Portfolio A has a beta of 1.0 and an expected return of 11%, while another portfolio B has a beta of 0.75 and an expected return of 8%. The risk-free rate is 2%. In this scenario, an arbitrage opportunity exists and a strategy to take advantage of it would be:

To short B and use 3/4 of the proceeds to invest in A and borrow the other ¼ at the risk-free rate.

To borrow at the risk-free rate and use the proceeds to invest in A.

To short 3/4 of A and borrow 1/4 at the risk-free rate, and use the proceeds to invest in B.

To short B and use 3/4 of the proceeds to invest in A and lend the other ¼ at the risk-free rate.

To short B and use the proceeds to invest in A.

1.An investor buys a 9-year, 6.9% annual coupon bond at par ($100). After the purchase and before the first coupon is received, interest rates increase to 8.9% (assume a flat spot rate curve). The investor sells the bond after 7 years (right after receiving the 7th coupon payment). What is this investor's realized annual return in these 7 years?

Assume annual compounding, and that interest rates remain at 8.9% over the entire holding period.

2.An investor with an investment horizon of 1.0 year purchases a 8% coupon bond with 2 years to maturity and a face value of $100? The bond is trading at a yield of 5%. Coupons are paid semi-annually. What is this investor's duration gap?

Assume semi-annual compounding. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

To supplement your planned retirement in exactly 42 years, you estimate that you need to accumulate $1.0 million by the end of 42 years from today. You plan to make equal annual year-end deposits into your management retirement account, which has historically yielded a 4% annual return.

1) How large must the annual deposits be in order for you to retire with your goal by the end of 42 years?

2) If you can only afford to deposit $5,000 per year in the retirement account, how much will you have accumulated for retirement at the end of 42 years?

3) If you can only afford to deposit $5,000 per year in retirement, how long will it take for your to accumulate your original retirement goal ?

1. XYZ Corp is expected to exist for two years. It is trying to decide whether to take action A, B, or C. The finance team produced the following characteristics of the firm’s annual cash flows under the three options:

             Assume the annual risk-free return is 2 percent and the annual market risk-premium is five percent. The firm’s objective is to maximize its value. For each pair of options, what are key tradeoffs? That is, identify the advantages and disadvantages of A vs. B. Do the same for B vs. C and A vs. C. Are there options that you would rule out? Briefly explain.

The number of days required for two suppliers to deliver orders is as follows.

(A) Which supplier provides more consistent and homogenous delivery times A or B? ...

Average Number of Days for Supplier A =   days, and Standard Deviation =   day.

Coefficient of Variation for Supplier A =

Average Number of Days for Supplier B =   days, and Standard Deviation =   day.

Coefficient of Variation for Supplier A =
