Assume that securitization combined with borrowing and
irrational exuberance in Hyperville have driven up the value of
existing financial securities at a geometric rate, specifically
from $2 to $4 to $8 to $16 to $32 to $64 over a six-year time
period. Over the same period, the value of the assets underlying
the securities rose at an arithmetic rate from $2 to $3 to $4 to $5
to $6 to $7.
If these patterns hold for decreases as well as for increases, by
how much would the value of the financial securities decline if the
value of the underlying asset suddenly and unexpectedly fell by
$4?
