Yes, I think that is right answer. It is Black approximation. Answer should be B)
may u remind me more about this question?
I don't remember... was B the answer that the option should be excercise before the ex-dividend? I am not sure if I marked B or C...

You're given information about american call option. You have certain dividend, probably it was 4$. And you're asked to determine whether it is optimal to exercise this american dividend paying stock. Generally american dividend paying option is only optimal to exercise if D > K * (1 - r ^ (T-t)) condition met. Even you didn't need to calculate as long as you knew the equation for this.
really I dont remeber well this question or my answer.
really I feel disapointed from my performance in the exam despite I prepaired well
may be I will turn to study PRM or change the field and go for CMA or PMP or stop studying any thing

It is same for me . I don't know why I got so anxious during exam. Actually I began with great energy. But when I asked for time they told me that it is 11 am. I got shock. They didn't informed me that yes it is 11 but you began exam at 36 minutes later, so you are not going to finish at 12 but rather at 12.36. As a result I tried to randomly guess. I could see now how many questions I've skipped. That is the lesson I learned. I'll take watch at any time that I go to the exam.

Was it the leftmost point or the rightmost. Sorry i forgot what the choices were. Thanks.
my answer was portfolio C and it was not on the efficient fronter, it was to the left of efficient fronter

Shouldnt the answer be the one that lies within the new efficient frontier combining the three funds. I recall now, the closest to the three drawn efficient frontiers is either portfolio b or d. I.e., when i drew a curve encompassing the previously drawn curves i ended up with b but the curve i drew tend to intersect the curve combining fund 1 and 2. When i readjusted, i was able to hit d. Now im wondering where c was... If it was the leftmost point, then it couldnt be included in the new efficient frontier. The fourth point i think lies below the three drawn curves so it cant be the answer either.

My drawing is TERRIBLE but if I remember correctly C was within the frontier and B was outside to the left a bit. The new frontier with all 3 assets should move to the left a bit so B in the attached (you have to forgive the shodiness of the graph) should be the answer (IMO).
I remember the drowing different:
All the files were to the left of C.
One file was a little bit higher above C (same vol, higher return), which in my opinion excluded C ( I think it was Portfolio B).
To me, I looked at the return of each portfolio, compared to it's Vol, and then compered to the other portfolio. I choose the portfolios that gave the highest return vs. vol. I chose Portfolio D, which had the highest return vs. risk.
Hope that I'm correct...

I think we did not have the same graph as given. There were three points to the left of the curve connecting mid a and mid c. Portfolio d was also on the left of said curve. it was situated in between but a bit below a and b.
