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%

Souza Inc, which produces and sells a single product, has provided its contribution format income statement for October.
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

d. $300

Explanation:

Calculation for what its net operating income should be closest to

Using this formula

First step is to calculate the contribution margin per unit using this formula

Contribution margin per unit= Contribution margin ÷ Number of units

Let plug in the formula

Contribution margin per unit= $48,000 ÷ 4,000 units

Contribution margin per unit= $12

Second step is to calculate the contribution margin

Contribution margin = 3,500 units × $12

Contribution margin = $42,000

Now let calculate the net operating income using this formula

Net operating income = Sales - Variable cost - Fixed expenses

Let plug in the formula

Net operating income= $42,000 - $41,700

Net operating income= $300

Therefore its net operating income should be closest to $300

Bank reserves are $200, the public holds $1000 in currency, and the reserve-deposit ratio is 20%. What is the Value of Bank Depo
Alja [10]

Answer:

What is the Value of Bank Deposits?

bank deposits = bank reserves / required reserve ratio = $200 / 20% = $1,000

What is the Money Supply?

money supply = bank deposits + currency held by the public = $1,000 + $1,00 = $2,000

Suppose that the Fed sells $50 worth of bonds in an "open market sale." Assuming that the public does not wish to change the amount of currency it holds, what is the new money supply after this open market purchase?

if the FED sells $50 worth of bonds, money supply will decrease by $50 x (1 / 20%) = $50 x 5 = $250

total money supply = $2,000 - $250 = $1,750

madam [21]

Answer:

Total contribution margin= $59,800

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Unitary selling price= 155,400 / 4,200= $37

Unitary variable cost= 100,800 / 4,200= $24

<u>To calculate the total contribution margin, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Total contribution margin= units sold*(selling price - unitary variable cost)

Total contribution margin= 4,600*(37 - 24)

Total contribution margin= $59,800
