问题如下:
Basing your answers only upon the data presented in the table above and using the international capital asset pricing model—in particular, the Singer–Terhaar approach—estimate the expected risk premium for the following:
i. Swiss Health Care Industry
ii. Swiss Watch Industry
iii. Swiss Consumer Products Industry
选项:
解释:
Using the formula
we can solve for each expected industry risk premium. Te term in brackets is the Sharpe ratio for the GIM, computed as 3.5/8.5 = 0.412
i. RPHealthcare = (12)(0.7)(0.412) = 3.46%
ii. RPWatch = (6)(0.8)(0.412) = 1.98%
iii. RPConsumer Products = (7.5)(0.8)(0.412) = 2.47%
解析:
注意到本题假设市场完全整合,所以我们无需再按权重求解市场整合程度。并且该题不涉及对于资产流动性的补偿。因此我们直接套用公式RPiG=ρi,GM σi(RPGM/σGM),其中Sharpe ratio =3.5/8.5 =0.412. 。
那么,
i. RPHealth Care = (12)(0.7)(0.412) = 3.46%
ii. RPWatch = (6)(0.8)(0.412) = 1.98%
iii. RPConsumer Products = (7.5)(0.8)(0.412) = 2.47%
这道题的Sharpe ratio =3.5/8.5 =0.4118,我在计算过程中保留两位小数,取值0.41,最终算出来第一个premium是0.12*0.7*0.41=3.44%,但是答案中算Sharpe ratio时保留了三位小数也就是0.412,算出来第一个premium是0.12*0.7*0.412=3.46%。由于现在考试已经取消了计算编辑器,在看不到计算过程的情况下,计算中间值保留的小数位数直接决定了最终答案的对错。请问一般应该保留几位小数合适?
