4 4. (4 points) Circle each of the following which will always generate a positive profit if the price of the underlying asset goes to zero: Short Call Bull Spread Short Put Purchased Collar 5.

(8 points) You are given the following spot yield rate curve: Time Spot Yield Rate 1 2.6% 2 3.4% 3 3.9% Kevin purchases a 3 year interest rate swap which allows him to swap a floating rate interest rate for a fixed interest rate on a loan. The swap provides that Kevin can swap interest rates on 1 million the first year, 2 million the second year, and 3 million the third year. Calculate the fixed interest rate as a result of the swap. Time Spot Yield Rate Forward 1 2.6% % 2 (1.034) % 3 (1.039) (1.034) R Q P f i i i QP i i (1) (0.026) (2) (0.042) (3) (0.049) (1) (2) (3) %

After one week, the futures price has decreased to Determine the additional amount that Anji will need to contribute to the margin account at the end of the first week. Notional Value: (4)(250)(1,500) = 1,500,000 Margin: Notional Value (0.16) = (1,500,000)(0.16) = 240,000 Maintenance Margin: (240,000)(0.75) = 180,000 After 1 Week Margin with interest: (0.078) 1 e , , Margin after futures price decreases: 240, (1,500 1,425)(4)(250) = 165, Margin Call: Maintenance margin current margin 180, , = 14,639.73

Calculate the payoff and profit if the spot price of Wang stock is 77 in 6 months. Put Premium: C P S K 1 i P 68 (1.1025) P 3.24 P *Note: Buy 68 K Put Buy Stock Total Payoff FV Cost Profit Payoff FV Cost Profit Payoff Profit Max(0,68-S t) (3.2619)(1.05) Spot at Exp 68(1.05)
9 11. (2 points) Circle the graph of a Bull Spread.
10 12. (4 point) List the five ways that Futures Contracts vary from Forward Contracts. 1) Futures are liquid. 2) Futures are marked to market daily.

Determine the range of spot prices at expiration for which Kevin would have a positive profit. Purchase a collar: Buy a put and a sell call with a higher strike price. Put premium with 190 Strike price: P 200 P Call premium with 210 Strike price: Payoff and Profit Tables: Buy 190 Strike Put Spot at Exp Payoff FV Cost Profit Max(0, 190-S t) 1 2 (7.31)(1.057) Payoff FV Cost S t < S t S t S t > Sell 210 Strike Call Spot at Exp Payoff FV Cost Profit -Max(0, S t-210) 1 (12.25)(1.057) 2 Payoff FV Cost S t < S t >210 -S t S t
12 Total Spot at Exp Payoff Profit S t < S t 190-S t = s t = =5.08 S t >210 -S t s t =-s t The spot prices at expiration for which Kevin would have a profit are in the range (0, ).
13 14. (1 point) The payoff on a zero coupon bond is always zero. True or False The profit on a zero coupon bond is always zero not the payoff. 15. (1 point) If the spot price of the stock at expiration is greater than the spot price of the stock at time zero, the purchase and subsequent sale of a stock will always generate a positive profit.

14 16. (8 points) Leavitt Oil LTD (LOL) enters into a 3 year swap on crude oil. The swap allows LOL to purchased 50,000 barrels of oil at the end of each year for the next three years. The swap price for the oil is 101 per barrel. You are given the following forward oil prices and spot interest rates: Time Oil Forward Price Spot Interest Rates 1 F 4.00% % % Determine F.

The one year forward price on the stock of Kang Bank is 129. Assume there are no transaction costs. State explicitly what actions you would take at time zero to take advantage of the arbitrage that exists in this situation. Theoretical Forward: 123(1.063)= Arbitrage Opportunity: Buy Low and sell high. We will buy the real forward and sell the synthetic forward. Buy one year forward with price $129. Sell stock for $123 and lend the $123 received from the sale.
