A fair value option is the alternative  for a business to record its financial instruments at the fair values. Liabilities are company's financial debts or obligations that arise in the course of business operations. They may be long term or short term. In this case, if the fair value of the liability decreases, the firm should respond by crediting the unrealized Holding Gain/loss in the income account.

harina [27]

The equivalent annual costs of each model are as follows:

                                                Model A       Model B

Equivalent annual costs     $2,389.26   $3,008.47

Data and Calculations:

                                              Model A       Model B

Costs of motorcycle              $8,200        $13,600

Expected years of usage      7 years        9 years

Annual maintenance costs    $760          $740

Cost of capital = 9%

Annuity factor                       5.03295        5.99524

PV of annual maintenance  $3,825.04   $4,436.48

Total NPV of costs             $12,025.04  $18,036.48

Equivalent annual costs   $2,389.26  $3,008.47

                          ($12,025.04/5.03295)  ($18,036.48/5.99524)

Thus, the equivalent annual costs of each model are the dividend of the Total NPV costs divided by the Annuity Factor.

What is Jensen's alpha of a portfolio comprised of 45 percent portfolio A and 55 percent of portfolio B? Portfolio Average Retur
inn [45]

Answer:

The Jensen's alpha of a portfolio comprised of 45 percent portfolio A and 55 percent of portfolio B = 2.04 %

Explanation:

<em>Solution</em>

Given that:

Now,

The Jensen’s alpha of a Portfolio is computed by applying  the formula  below:

Jensen's alpha = Portfolio Return − [Risk Free Rate of Return + ( Portfolio Beta * (Market Rate of Return − Risk Free Rate of Return ) ) ]

For the information given in the question we have the following,

The Risk free rate of return = 3. 1%

In order to find the Jensen’s alpha we have to first get the following from the information given in the question :

1. Portfolio Return

2. Portfolio Beta

3.Market Rate of Return

Thus,

(A)Calculation of Portfolio Return :

The formula for calculation of Portfolio Return is  given as:

E(RP) = ( RA * WA )+ ( RB * WB )

Where

E(RP) = Portfolio Return

RA = Average Return of Portfolio A ; WA = Weight of Investment in Portfolio A

RB = Average Return of Portfolio B ;  WB = Weight of Investment in Portfolio B

For the information given in the question we have the following:

RA = 18.9 %, WA = 45 % = 0.45, RB = 13.2 %,  WB = 55 % = 0.55

By applying the values in the formula we have

= ( 18.9 % * 0.45 ) + ( 13.2 % * 0.55 )

= 8.5050 % + 7.2600 % = 15.7650 %

(B). Calculation of Portfolio Beta:

Now,

The formula for calculating the Portfolio Beta is

ΒP = [ ( WA * βA ) + ( WB * βB ) ]

Where,

βP = Portfolio Beta

WA = Weight of Investment in Portfolio A = 45 % = 0.45 ; βA = Beta of Portfolio A = 1.92

WB = Weight of Investment in Portfolio B = 55 % = 0.55 ; βB = Beta of Portfolio B = 1.27

By Applying the above vales in the formula we have

= ( 0.45 * 1.92 )   + ( 0.55 * 1.27 )

= 0.8640 + 0.6985

= 1.5625

(C). Calculation of Market rate of return :

Now,

The Market Risk Premium = Market rate of return - Risk free rate

From the Information given in the Question we have

The Market Risk Premium = 6.8 %

Risk free rate = 3. 1 %

Market rate of return = To find

Then

By applying the above information in the Market Risk Premium formula we have

6.8 % = Market rate of Return - 3.1 %

Thus Market rate of return = 6.8 % + 3.1 % = 9.9 %

So,

From the following  information, we gave

Risk free rate of return = 3.1% ; Portfolio Return = 15.7650 %

The Portfolio Beta = 1.5625 ; Market Rate of Return = 9.9 %

Now

Applying the above values in the Jensen’s Alpha formula we have

The Jensen's alpha = Portfolio Return − [Risk Free Rate of Return + ( Portfolio Beta * (Market Rate of Return − Risk Free Rate of Return )) ]

= 15.7650 % - [ 3.1 % + ( 1.5625 * ( 9.9 % - 3.1 % ) ) ]

= 15.7650 % - [ 3.1 % + ( 1.5625 * 6.8 % ) ]                  

= 15.7650 % - [ 3.1 % + 10.6250 % ]

= 15.7650 % - 13.7250 %

= 2.0400 %

= 2.04 % ( when rounded off to two decimal places )

Therefore, the Jensen's alpha of a portfolio comprised of 45 percent portfolio A and 55 percent of portfolio B = 2.04 %

An investor can design a risky portfolio based on two stocks, A and B. Stock A has an expected return of 16% and a standard devi
ElenaW [278]

The proportion of the optimal risky portfolio that should be invested in stock A is 0%.

Using this formula

Stock A optimal risky portfolio=[(Wa-RFR )×SDB²]-[(Wb-RFR)×SDA×SDB×CC] ÷ [(Wa-RFR )×SDB²+(Wb-RFR)SDA²]- [(Wa-RFR +Wb-RFR )×SDA×SDB×CC]

Where:

Stock A Expected Return  (Wa) =16%

Stock A Standard Deviation (SDA)= 18.0%

Stock B Expected Return  (Wb)= 12%

Stock B Standard Deviation(SDB) = 3%  

Correlation Coefficient for Stock A and B (CC) = 0.50  

Risk Free rate of return(RFR) = 10%

Let plug in the formula

Stock A optimal risky portfolio=[(.16-.10)×.03²]-[(.12-.10)×.18×.03×0.50]÷ [(.16-.10 )×.03²+(.12-.10)×.18²]- [(.16-.10 +.12-.10 )×.18×.03×0.50]

Stock A optimal risky portfolio=(0.000054-0.000054)÷(0.000702-0.000216)

Stock A optimal risky portfolio=0÷0.000486×100%

Stock A optimal risky portfolio=0%

Inconclusion the proportion of the optimal risky portfolio that should be invested in stock A is 0%.

Describe at least two advantages a large company has over a smaller company. (1-4 sentences.
STatiana [176]

A larger company can benefit from <em>economies of scale</em>, meaning they can get discounts by purchasing and producing in bulk which a smaller company wouldn't have the ability to do. A larger store also has the potential for higher revenue because they have more goods and services to sell.
