Explanation / Answer

(a) Expected net persentage of returns Pension Fund Return on Stock -A= (0+15)/100 =0.15 =15% Return on Stock -B= (10+10)/100 =0.20=20% Return on Stock -C= (15+0)/100 =0.15=15% (ii) Corporation Return on Stock -A= [0*(1-0.105) +$15*(1-0.45) ]/100 =0+8.25 /100 =0.0825 =8.25% Return on Stock -B= [10*(1-0.105) +$10*(1-0.45) ]/100 =8.95+5.5 /100 =0.1445 =14.45% Return on Stock -C= [15*(1-0.105) + 0*(1-0.45) ]/100 =13.43+0 /100 =0.1343 =13.43% (iii) Individual Return on Stock -A= [0*(1-0.10) +$15*(1-0.05) ]/100 =0+14.25 /100 =0.1425 =14.25% Return on Stock -B= [10*(1-0.10) +$10*(1-0.05) ]/100 =9.0+9.5   /100 =0.185 =18.5% Return on Stock -C= [15*(1-0.10) + 0*(1-0.05) ]/100 =13.50+0 /100 =0.1350 =13.50% (b) Price price - Stock A = [(0*(1-0.40) + 15*(1-0.20)] /0.10=(0+12)/0.10 =$120.00 price - Stock B = [(0*(1-0.40) + 15*(1-0.20)] /0.10=(6+8)/0.10 =$140.00 price - Stock C = [(0*(1-0.40) + 15*(1-0.20)] /0.10=(9+0)/0.10 =$90.00
