Explanation:
To find the liquidity transaction cost and spread risk factor, we must first determine the mid-price and the proportional bid-ask spread:
Mid-Price ():
P = \frac{\text{Ask} + \text{Bid}}{2} = \frac{32.90 + 32.45}{2} = \`32.675ss = \frac{\text{Ask} - \text{Bid}}{P} = \frac{32.90 - 32.45}{32.675} = \frac{0.45}{32.675} = 0.013772$3. Spread Risk Factor (SRF) at 99% confidence level:
The normal deviate for 99% confidence is $2.33\text{SRF} = 0.5 \times (\text{Mean Proportional Spread} + 2.33 \times \text{Standard Deviation of Spread})\text{SRF} = 0.5 \times (0.013772 + 2.33 \times 0.004)\text{SRF} = 0.5 \times (0.013772 + 0.00932) = 0.5 \times 0.023092 = 0.0115460.01`15$)
Transactions Cost per share ():
LC = P \times \text{SRF} = \`32.675 \times 0.011546 = \
Thus, the Transactions Cost is \`0.3772$ and the Spread Risk Factor is .

Q.49 Bob Woolmer is a fund manager at Fortune Investment. He is analyzing shares of Bell Aviation which currently have a bid price of $32.45 and an ask price of $32.90. The sample standard deviation of this bid-ask spread is 0.004. Given this information, determine the 99% transactions cost and 99% spread risk factor for a transaction involving Bell Aviation.
A
Transactions Cost: $0.3772; Spread Risk Factor: 0.007028
B
Transactions Cost: $0.759; Spread Risk Factor: 0.0139
C
Transactions Cost: $0.00689; Spread Risk Factor: 0.00819
D
Transactions Cost: $0.3772; Spread Risk Factor: 0.0115
