1.
2. Markowitz diversification advantages? ( 3 marks)

3. What is rationale for derivative asset? ( 3 marks) (p-243)

4. Why junk bond is called a speculative bond? (3 marks) {page -166}
5. What is difference between Option and Futures? ( 5 marks ) {page -247}

6. Differentiate defensive and cyclical stock with example? ( 5 marks ) {page -25}

7. Adverse effect of credit risk to bond performance? ( 5 marks )

* If a lender can not tell whether a borrower is a good or a bad credit risk, the demand for a risk premium will be based on the average risk
* Borrowers having good credit risk will not pay higher risk premiums and would withdraw from the market
* Only bad credit risk bonds are left in the market

* The adverse effect resulting in good investments not to be undertaken, the economy will not grow as rapidly as it could.
* So there must be some way of distinguishing good firms from the bad ones.


8. The correlation coefficient between the returns of the stock and the market is 0.85. The variance of stock’s returns is 0.75 and variance of market returns is 0.22. Calculate the covariance of market and stock’s returns. (5 marks)

Solution :

Formula to calculate the covariance is σ AB = ρAB σA σB . (page no. 209)

Correlation coefficient = ρAB = 0.85

Variance of stock’s returns = σA = 0.75

Variance of market returns = σB = 0.22

σ AB = ρAB σA σB
σ AB = 0.85(0.75) (0.22) = 0.14025
