Answer: A portfolio containing 30 randomly selected stocks will have the smallest standard deviation.
Explanation:
A portfolio containing 30 randomly selected stocks tend to have a lesser covariance between the security returns. Also, there will be increased diversification. This increased diversification lowers the risk of portfolio thereby resulting in a lower standard deviation.
Other options are not correct. A portfolio consisting of 30 energy stocks will have a higher level of covariance between the security returns. Therefore, the standard deviation is lower.
A coefficient of variance greater than one will have a high level of variance while a coefficient variance less than 1 has a lower level of variance. A lesser covariance will result to a lower standard deviation and vice-versa.
Answer:
The quoted price of the bond is $1,748.41
Explanation:
The quoted price of the bond can be computed using the pv formula in excel which is given below:
=-pv(rate,nper,pmt,fv)
The rate is semiannual yield to maturity since the bond pay interest semiannually,which is 6.9%/2=3.45%
nper is the number of coupon interests the bond would pay over its entire bond life which is 24 years multiplied 2 i.e 48
pmt is the coupon interest payable semiannually which is $2000*5.82%/2=$58.20
The fv is the face value of the bond at $2000
=-pv(3.45%,48,58.20,2000)=$ 1,748.41
The bond quoted price is currently $ 1,748.41
Answer:
E. $41.69
Explanation:
We know,
Value of stock (
) = 
[In case of constant growth model]
= Next year or expected dividend
= required rate of return
g = growth rate = 5.50%
However, as there is no information regarding expected dividend, we will use the alternative formula to calculate the stock's expected price 3 years from today.
= × 
Here, current stock price, = $35.50
Therefore, = $35.50 × 
= $35.50 × 1.1742
Stock's expected price 3 years from now = $41.69 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, option E is the answer.
