Suppose that a portfolio has a beta of 1.15. Over the period of one year, the portfolio had a return of 12.4% with a standard de

Darina [25.2K]

Answer and Explanation:

Given:

Weighted average β = 1.15

Average return (r) = 12.4%

Risk free return (Rf) = 1.2%

Market return (Rm) = 10.2%

Standard deviation (SD) = 16.2%

Computation of Jensen's α :

Jensen's α = r - [Rf + β(Rm - Rf)]

Jensen's α = 12.4% - [1.2% + 1.15(10.2% - 1.2%)]

Jensen's α = 12.4% - [1.2% + 10.35%]

Jensen's α = 12.4% - 11.55%

Jensen's α = 0.85%

Computation of Treynor's index :

Treynor's index (Ratio) = (r - Rf) / β

Treynor's index (Ratio) = (12.4% - 1.2%) / 1.15

Treynor's index (Ratio) = 11.2% / 1.15

Treynor's index (Ratio) = 9.73913043%

Treynor's index (Ratio) = 9.74% (Approx)

Computation of Sharpe's index :

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = (r - Rf) / SD

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = (12.4% - 1.2%) / 16.2%

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = 11.2% / 16.2%

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = 0.69 13%

On January 1, Greene Inc. issued $5,000,000, 9% bonds for $4,685,000. The market rate of interest for these bonds is 10%. Intere

skad [1K]

Answer:

b.$296,500.

Explanation:

Calculation to determine what Greene should report as unamortized bond discount

First step is to calculate the discount amount

Discount Amount= ($5,000,000 × .09) - ($4,685,000 × .10)

Discount Amount= $18,500

Now let determine the unamortized bond discount

Unamortized bond discount=$315,000 - $18,500 Unamortized bond discount= $296,500

Therefore Greene should report unamortized bond discount of $296,500

As long as a market is contestable, then even if it has only a few sellers, the Group of answer choices threat of new entrants w

Irina18 [472]

Answer: threat of new entrants will prevent the prices from rising above the competitive level.

Explanation:

A contestable market has competition such that sellers cannot unilaterally decide to sell at a certain price. They have to sell at a competitive price that is set by the market to ensure that goods are allocated efficiently.

If the prices attempt to rise above this competitive level, new sellers will enter the market so as to make a profit which would have the effect of driving the price back down to where it was and even lower if even more sellers come in. The price is therefore maintained to ensure that this does not happen.

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The answer is: full disclosure principle

Explanation:

Full disclosure principle in accounting refers to the requirement that businesses are supposed to provide all material information pertaining to their operations to the stakeholders of the business so as to facilitate better decision-making frameworks when evaluating the business.

The going concern principle is based on the assumption that the business will not cease operating in the foreseeable future. The matching principle requires that the expenses incurred in carrying out an economic activity are recorded in the same period as the revenues earned from that activity. The historical cost principle requires assets or liabilities to be recorded at their acquisition value.

Seventy new jobs are opening up at an automobile manufacturing plant, and 1000 applicants show up for the 70 positions. To selec

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

As explained below, given that the score of the person is among the 0.03125 fraction of the best applicants, he can count on getting one of the jobs.

Explanation:

The hint is to use Chebyshev’s Theorem.

Chebyshev’s Theorem applies to any data set, even if it is not bell-shaped.

Chebyshev’s Theorem states that at least 1−1/k² of the data lie within k standard deviations of the mean.

For this sample you have:

mean: 60
standard deviation: 6
score: 84

The number of standard deviations that 84 is from the mean is:

k = (score - mean) / standar deviation
k = (84 - 60) / 6 = 24 / 6 = 4

Thus, the score of the person is 4 standard deviations above the mean.

How good is that?

Chebyshev’s Theorem states that at least 1−1/k² of the data lie within k standard deviations of the mean. For k = 4, that is:

1 - 1/4² = 1 - 1/16 = 0.9375

That means that half of 1 - 0.9375 are above k = 4: 0.03125

Then, 1 - 0.03125 are below k = 4: 0.96875

Since there are 70 positions and 1,000 aplicants, 70/1,000 = 0.07. The compnay should select the best 0.07 of the applicants.

Given that the score of the person is among the 0.03125 upper fraction of the applicants, this person can count of geting one of the jobs.
