When an economist says that a currency has become stronger he or she means that?

2 answers:

6 0

A strong currency occurs when the value of a country's currency has risen to a level against another currency that is near historically high exchange rates. This means that a currency is worth more relative to other currencies. Because most currencies are floating, their values vary according to market trends. When one unit of currency trades for more units of another, it is said to be a strong currency. The advantage of this is, travelers are able to go abroad while spending less of their money, also it makes exports more expensive in other countries.

Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 18% and a standard deviation of 42%. The T-bill rate

amm1812

Answer:

a. Expected Return = 16.20 %

Standard Deviation = 35.70%

b. Stock A = 22.10%

Stock B = 29.75%

Stock C = 33.15%

T-bills = 15%

Explanation:

a. To calculate the expected return of the portfolio, we simply multiply the Expected return of the stock with the weight of the stock in the portfolio.

Thus, the expected return of the client's portfolio is,

w1 * r1 + w2 * r2
85% * 18% + 15% * 6% = 16.20%

The standard deviation of a portfolio with a risky and risk free asset is equal to the standard deviation of the risky asset multiply by its weightage in the portfolio as the risk free asset like T-bill has zero standard deviation.

85% * 42% = 35.70%

b. The investment proportions of the client is equal to his investment in T-bills and risky portfolio. If the risky portfolio investment is considered of the set proportion investment in Stock A, B & C then the 85% investment of the client will be divided in the following proportions,

Stock A = 85% * 26% = 22.10%
Stock B = 85% * 35% = 29.75%
Stock C = 85% * 39% = 33.15%
T-bills = 15%
These all add up to make 100%

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

The future value of annual savings is $1,370.30

Explanation:

The amount of annual savings =(Shaan's premium +Anita's premium)*10%

Shann's premium is $790

Anita's premium is $645

Annual savings =($790+$645)*10%

=$143.5

The future value formula is given below:

=-fv(rate,nper,pmt,-pv)

rate is 5% annual interest rate

nper is the 8 years that is the duration of investment

pmt is the annual savings of $143.5

pv is the total amount invested now which is zero

=-fv(5%,8,143.5,0)

fv=$ 1,370.30
