Based on Exhibit 1, Alvarez finds that an arbitrage opportunity is:
选项:
A.not available.
B.available based on the dominance principle.
C.available based on the value additivity principle.
解释:
B is correct.
Based on the dominance principle, an arbitrage opportunity exists. The dominance principle asserts that a financial asset with a risk-free payoff in the future must have a positive price today. Because Asset A and Asset B are both risk-free assets, they should have the same discount rate. Relative to its payoff, Asset A is priced at $500/525, or 0.95238, and Asset B is priced at $1,000/1,100, or 0.90909. Given its higher implied discount rate(10%) and lower corresponding price, Asset B is cheap relative to Asset A, which has a lower implied discount rate (5%) and higher corresponding price.
The arbitrage opportunity based on dominance is to sell two units of Asset A for $1,000 and buy one unit of Asset B. There is no cash outlay today, and in one year, the portfolio delivers a net cash inflow of $50 [= $1,100 – (2 ×$525)].
请问这道题的考点是哪个?dominance principle 跟 value additivity principle 分别是什么?在讲义上有吗?看到题目和选项的我 一头雾水。。。
