is 6%. Your client chooses to invest 85% of a portfolio in your fund and 15% in a T-bill money market fund.
a. What is the expected return and standard deviation of your client's portfolio? (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

1a)16.2% 1b)35.7% 2a.            2b.              2c

Explanation:

1a)Expected Return=Prop in risky*exp return+Prop in t-bill*return in t-bill

=(0.85*0.18)+(0.15*0.6)

=0.162/16.2%

1b) prop in Rsky *standard deviation of risky

    = 0.85*0.42

    =0.357/35.7%

2a. The prop invested in risky is 85% so

=0.85*0.26=0.221/21.2%

=0.85*0.35=0.2975/29.75%

=0.85*0.39=0.3315/33.15%

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%

nalin [4]

Answer:

the contract is a. void.

Explanation:

this is because Huck has been declared as mentally incompetent by the court and that can only be changed by the court as well. so, when he agrees to sell and create a contract, it becomes void, no matter the value is or how closely it relates to the market value.

if it was Inez who came into the contract, then the contract would have been legally binding.

Caroline has been paying her mortgage steadily for fifteen years. She has just received a notice from her lender that the loan d
shtirl [24]

Answer: A ballon note

Explanation: A balloon payment mortgage is a mortgage which does not fully amortize over the term of the note, thus leaving a balance due at maturity. The final payment is called a balloon payment because of its large size. Balloon payment mortgages are more common in commercial real estate than in residential real estate.A balloon loan is a loan that you pay off with a single, final payment. Instead of a fixed monthly payment that gradually eliminates your debt, you typically make relatively small monthly payments. But those payments are not sufficient to pay off the loan before it comes due. As a result, you need to make a final “balloon” payment to pay off the remaining loan balance, and that payment may be significant.

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

$111,000

Explanation:

net income for Skysong during 2022:

total revenues       $748,000

<u>- total expenses   ($637,000)</u>

net income              $111,000

Net income is not affected by new common stocks being issued, since no interests is paid.

It affects dividends because without net income dividends cannot be distributed, but dividends do not affect net income,

Retained earnings are increased by net income after taxes (= $111,000 x 79% = $87,690) - distributed dividends $36,000 = $51,690
