In early April, an insurance company portfolio manager has a stock portfolio of $200 million with a portfolio beta of 1.15. The portfolio manager plans on selling the stocks in the portfolio in June to be able to pay out funds to policyholders for annuities, and is worried about a fall in the stock market. In April, the CME Group S&P 500 Futures contract index is 2340.40 for a June futures contract ($250 multiplier for the contract).

a.What type of futures position should be taken to hedge against the stock market going down and how many future contracts are needed for this hedge?

[Hint: # contracts = [Amount Hedged / Futures Index Price x Multiplier] x Beta Portfolio

Type of Position _____________

Explain why ________________________________________

# of Contracts_____________

b. Suppose in June the stock market (S&P500 index) falls by 10% and the S&P500 futures index falls by 10% as well, what is the portfolio manager’s opportunity loss (gain) on his portfolio, and his futures gain (loss) and the net hedging result?

Spot Gain or Loss ____________ Futures Gain or Loss ___________

Net Hedging Result _____________

A well-diversified stock portfolio has $40m value, and a beta 1.22 relative to S&P 500 index. The portfolio manager anticipates a bearish horizon. Instead of liquidating, he or she sells N contracts of S&P 500 stock index futures. Suppose one futures contract = $500 futures price in points or notional value. Suppose the S&P 500 futures price is now 1500 points. Suppose the rate of change of the S&P 500 index is the same as the rate of change of the futures index. What is N if the manager wants to hedge perfectly?

Index futures are often used to hedge portfolios that are not exactly the index. This is called cross-hedging. Suppose that we have a portfolio that is not the S&P 500, and we wish to shift the portfolio into T-bills. Assume that the portfolio and the S&P 500 are perfectly correlated. Suppose that we own $200 million of stocks with a beta relative to the S&P 500 of 1.2. Assume that the S&P 500 is 1200 with a zero dividend yield and the effective annual rate of 10%.

(a) Find the future price

(b) You believe that the S&P 500 index price will drop in the future and you decide to hedge your portfolio. You need to short some quantity of the S&P 500. How many S&P 500 index futures can you short?

Suppose today is July 1 and that you own the S&P 500 and the current price is 370. You have achieved large gains over the past six months which you would like to lock in through the end of the year. Suppose the dividend yield on the S&P 500 is 3.3%, the volatility is 15% and the interest rate is 7%.
a. What is the cost of putting a 340 floor value of your portfolio

b. Find a call which when added to the 340 floor gives you a zero cost collar

Suppose the output per effective worker is production function is y=10k^1/2, where k equals the amount of capital per effective worker and the capital lasts an average of 10 years. Assume that the saving rate is 32 percent, the rate of growth of population is 4 percent and the rate of technological growth is 2 percent.

a) Solve for the steady state levels of capital per effective worker, output per effective worker, investment per effective worker and consumption per effective worker.

b) Calculate the growth rate of total capital income and the growth rate of total labor income at the steady state.(Hint: Capital and labor each earn a constant share of the economy's income ).

c) Prove, at the steady state, (i) the capital-output ratio is constant;(ii) the real wage grows at the rate of 2 percent.

d) Calculate all of the following at their Golden Rule levels: Capital per effective worker, output per effective worker, saving and investment per effective worker, and the consumption per effective worker.

e) Whether the saving rate is too high or too low?

Suppose that the country of Xanadu saves 20% of its income and has a capital-output ratio of 4.

a) Using the Harrod-Domar model,calculate the rate of total GDP in Xanadu.

b) If population growth were 3% per year and Xanadu wanted to achieve a growth rate of per capita GDP of 4% per year, what would its savings rate have to be to get to this growth rate?

c) Now return to the case where the savings rate is 20% and the capital-output ratio is 4. Imagine ,now, that the economy of Xanadu suffers violent labour strikes every year , a quarter of it goes unused because of these labour disputes. if population growth is 2% per year, calculate the rate of per capita income growth in Xanadu under the new scenario?

Calculate the work done to push the block up the  ramp. (d) What  does it have? (e) Draw a sketch of the ramp and determine the Mechanical Advantage of the ramp.
