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.
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%
Answer:
All answers are correct except Money Supply
Explanation:
Fiscal policy affects aggregate demand through government spending and taxes. Government may increase taxes to increase revenue or discourage the consumption of a product. On the flipside, they may reduce taxes to stimulate spending, redistribute income, increase aggregate demand among other objectives.
Money supply is a monetary policy and it is used by the central bank to achieve certain objectives (reduce inflation, stimulate growth, increase demand, etc.)
Government spending is a fiscal policy that government uses to achieve a set of objectives (i.e. to supply goods and services that are not provided by the market or private sector – construct bridges, provide health facilities, social programmes for the poor among others).
Taxes – Tax is a fiscal policy tool used by the government to generate revenue, encourage or discourage the consumption of certain products or affect aggregate demand through income redistribution.
Trade policy could be in the form taxes (i.e. tariffs, import duties, custom duties among others). Trade policy is a fiscal policy as government can use it to control aggregate demand by placing embargo on the importation of certain products to reduce the demand of such products in the local economy.
Answer:
A. D1 = 1.50*1.06 = 1.59
D2 = 1.59*1.06 = 1.69
D3 = 1.69*1.06 = 1.79
B. PV of D1=(1.50*1.06)/1.13^1=1.41
PV of D2=(1.50*1.06^2)/1.13^2=1.32
PV of D3=(1.50*1.06^3)/1.13^3=1.24
PV of all dividend = (1.50*1.06)/1.13^1 + (1.5*1.06^2)/1.13^2 + (1.5*1.06^3)/1.13^3
PV of all dividend = 1.59/1.13 + 1.6854/1.2769 + 1.786524/1.442897
PV of all dividend = 1.407079646 + 1.319915 + 1.238150748
PV of all dividend = 3.965145814288893
PV of all dividend = 3.97
C. PV = 27.05/(1+13%)^3
PV = 27.05/(1.13)^3
PV = 27.05/1.442897
PV = 18.74701
PV = 18.75
D. The most you should pay for it
:
= (1.50*1.06)/1.13^1+(1.5*1.06^2)/1.13^2+(1.5*1.06^3)/1.13^3+27.05/1.13^3
=22.71
E. Value = (1.50*1.06)/(13%-6%)
Value = 1.59 / 7%
Value = 1.59 / 0.07
Value = 22.714286
Value =22.71
F. No, the value is not dependent on the holding period, you can see from above that the value of infinite time period estimated in E equals to the value calculated when there was 3 years holding period.
Answer:
Products Selling price Unit variable cost
$ $
Junior 50 15
Adult 75 25
Expert <u>110 </u> <u> 60</u>
Total <u> 235 </u> <u> 100</u>
The sales price per composite unit = $235
The contribution margin per composite unit
= Composite selling price - Composite unit variable cost
= $235 - $100
= $135
Break-even point in units
= <u>Fixed cost</u>
Contribution per unit
= <u>$114,750</u>
$135
= 850 units
Break-even point in dollars
= Break-even point in units x Composite selling price
= 850 units x $235
= $199,750
Income Statement
$
Total contribution ($135 x 850 units) 114,750
Less: Fixed cost <u>114,750</u>
Net profit <u> 0</u>
Explanation:
Sales price per composite unit is the aggregate of all the selling prices.
Contribution margin per composite unit equals composite selling price minus composite unit variable cost.
Break-even point in units is fixed cost divided per composite contribution margin per unit.
Break-even point in dollars equal break-even point in units multiplied by selling price.
Income statement is prepared by deducting the total fixed cost from the total contribution.
