1. Suppose an investment that pays $48,000 per year for the foreseeable future. If the required return on this investment is 9 percent, how much are you willing to pay for the investment today? (Do not include the dollar sign ($), and round your answer to two decimal places.
2. Use risk-neutral valuation to calculate the probabilities that will give you the put and call prices in the following question: A stock price is $10 now. In 1 month it can go to $11 or $9. The annual interest rate is 5% with continuous compounding. Using risk-free portfolios, determine the value of the one-month European put with strike price 10 and European call with strike price 9.5.
