Answer:
6.75%
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Beta of the stock = 1.12
Expected return = 10.8% = 0.108
Return of risk free asset = 2.7% = 0.027
Now,
Since it is equally invested in two assets
Therefore,
both will have equal weight = 
= 0.5
Thus,
Expected return on a portfolio = ∑(Weight × Return)
= [ 0.5 × 10.8% ] + [ 0.5 × 2.7% ]
= 5.4% + 1.35%
= 6.75%
Answer: normal /upward sloping
Explanation:
The yield curve is a curve that shows the relationship that exist between interest rate and time to maturity. According to the expectation theory, it is stated that the yield curve will be upward sloping when there's increase in inflationary expectations.
The slope of the yield curve helps in giving a clue to know the direction of future interest rates. It should be noted that an upward sloping curve means that there is an expectation of higher interest rates in the future.
Therefore, when investors expect inflation to increase over the next 20 years and the maturity risk premium to increase over the next 5 years, the general yield curve will be upward sloping.
So lets say we have two investment opportunities. A new convenient store in your neighborhood or a new shopping center more than 5 miles away from where you live... What would you invest in well lets look at the pros and cons of each investment. So even though the new convenient store is right around the corner from you and prices are low the new shopping center has better products, warranty and higher prices unlike the convenient store closer to you. So we have an investment budget of $1000 dollars and want to spend it wisely we need to access what has a better chance of being successful with what you put into it. So the convenient store will reach less people has a bargain price but also doesn't have security cameras. Even though the shopping center has great employees, top-of-the-line products, high security, and a great establishment but also has flaws. What are you gonna invest in, will you take risks? My personal opinion is that I would invest in the shopping center because more people would be attracted to it because of the quality of service and products. So it would have a better probability in success and good use of my money.
Answer:
8% and 4.8%
Explanation:
In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.
The NPER represents the time period.
Given that,
Present value = $1,294.54
Future value or Face value = $1,000
PMT = 1,000 × 11% = $110
NPER = 20 years
The formula is shown below:
= Rate(NPER;PMT;-PV;FV;type)
The present value come in negative
So, after solving this,
1. The pretax cost of debt is 8%
2. And, the after tax cost of debt would be
= Pretax cost of debt × ( 1 - tax rate)
= 8% × ( 1 - 0.40)
= 4.8%
The answer is 7 players.
If, the amount of red cards that received by either team make the total players of their team less than 7, the opposition team would automatically won the game (and the vicotry would be recorded as 3-0 victory for the team that still had more than 7 players)
