g100num [7]

Complete question:

Assume that your uncle holds just one stock, East Coast Bank (ECB), which he thinks has very little risk. You agree that the stock is relatively safe, but you want to demonstrate that his risk would be even lower if he were more diversified. You obtain the following returns data for West Coast Bank (WCB). Both banks have had less variability than most other stocks over the past 5 years.

Year ECB WCB

2004 40.00% 40.00%

2005 -10.00% 15.00%

2006 35.00% -5.00%

2007 -5.00% -10.00%

2008 15.00% 35.00%

a. What is the expected return and risk of each stock?

b. Measured by the standard deviation of returns, by how much would your uncle's risk have been reduced if he had held a portfolio consisting of 60% in ECB and the remainder in WCB? In other words, what is the difference between portfolio's standard deviation and weighted average of components' standard deviations? (Hint: check the example on page 11-12 on my note).

Solution:

The estimated return of the stock is the average profit.

So the average of ECB is (40-10+35-5+15)/5

= $\frac{75 percent}{5}$

= 15% expected return

WCB expected return = 40+15-5-10+35

= $\frac{75 percent}{5}$

= 15%

They've had the same planned return.

This is generally defined in the Greek letter Mu, (U) A weighted average may also be used to calculate portfolio volatility.

Standard deviation of ECB is $\sqrt{{ sum [(x-U)^2]/5}}$

so for ECB:

$(40-15)^2$ = $25^2$ =6.25%

$(-10-15)^2$ = $-35^2$ = 0.1225

$(35-15)^2$ = $20^2$ = 0.04

$(-5-15)^2$ = $-20^2$ = 0.04

$(15-15)^2$ =0

now 0.0625+0.1225+0.04+0.04+0=0.265

stdev= $\sqrt{(0.265/5)}$ = 0.23

So WCB is the same except in a different order to make things quick I'm only going to add the median again WCB=0.23

Then the 60/40 portfolio will be the "weighted average" of the returns.

portfolio returns

2004: (60%*40%)+(40%*40%) = 40%

2005: (60%*-10%)+(40%*15%) = 0%

2006: (60%*35%)+(40%*-5%) = 19%

2007: (60%*-5%)+(40%*-10%) = -7%

2008:(60%*15%)+(40%*35%) = 23%

we have an average return of (40+19-7+23)/5 = 75/5 =15%

The estimated return of all combined stocks is a better way to do so.

we knew they both had expected returns of 15% so we can say

(60%*15%)+(40%*15%)=15% so the portfolio has an expected return of 15%

Now we do the standard deviation for the whole portfolio and get

$(40-15)^2$ = $25^2$ =6.25%

$(0-15)^2$ = - $25^2$ =6.25%

$(19-15)^2$ = $4^2$ = 0.16%

$(-7-15)^2$ = $-22^2$ = -4.84%

$(23-15)^2$ = $8^2$ = 0.64%

now add them up and get 9.78%

$\sqrt{(9.78%/5)}$ = 13.98%

Therefore, the normal portfolio variance is 13.98 per cent and the predicted portfolio return is 15 per cent.

Every stock has a standard deviation of 23 per cent and an average return of 15 per cent, meaning that the fund has the same estimated return but with less standard deviation. This ensures that the same gain is less costly. It's stronger than any of these products.

You are purchasing an equipment for $ 200,000 for your new store. Assume the store has no other expenses or revenues other than

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

Negative cash balance of $210,000.

Explanation:

Given that,

cost of equipment = $200,000

Inventory purchased = $12,500

Cash balance = $2,000

Accounts payable = $4,500

Net cash flow at time zero:

= (cost of equipment) + (Increase in working capital)

= ($200,000) + (Inventory purchased + cash balance - Accounts payable)

= ($200,000) + ($12,500 + $2,000 - $4,500)

= ($200,000) + ($10,000)

= ($210,000)

Note: Negative values are in the parenthesis.

Bambi is buying a property on an installment sales contract. Due to her financial interest in the property, she retains equitabl

Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Legal title

Explanation:

A contract can be defined as an agreement between two or more parties (group of people) which gives rise to a mutual legal obligation or enforceable by law.

There are different types of contract in business and these includes: fixed-price contract, cost-plus contract, bilateral contract, implies contract, unilateral contract, adhesion contract, unconscionable contract, option contract, express contract, etc.

Mutual assent is a legal term which represents an agreement by both parties to a contract. When two parties to a contract both have an understanding of the parameters, terms and conditions surrounding a contract, it ultimately implies that they are in agreement and this is generally referred to as mutual assent

In this scenario, Bambi purchased a property using an installment sales contract.

An equitable title can be defined as the right of an individual to use and enjoy an asset (property) due to his or her financial interest in the asset.

On the other hand, a legal title can be defined as the actual (absolute) ownership of a property that is recognized and enforceable in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Hence, Bambi would retain an equitable title from the purchase of the property due to her financial interest in this property while the owner of the property (seller) retains a legal title.

Alchen [17]

Answer:

Future value= $151,018.51

Explanation:

Future value of money measures how much a present amount of money will be in the future at a given interest rate.

The interest gained on money shows the time value of money. One dollar today is less than one dollar in one year's time

The formula for future value is

Future value = Present value * (1 + rate)^time

As we have two periods in this case (10 years and 20 years)

Future value = Present value * {(1 + rate1)^time1} * {(1 + rate2)^time2}

Future value = 12,500 * {(1 + 0.07)^10} * {(1 + 0.095)^20}

Future value= $151,018.51
