Suppose that a portfolio has a beta of 1.15. Over the period of one year, the portfolio had a return of 12.4% with a standard de

Darina [25.2K]

Answer and Explanation:

Given:

Weighted average β = 1.15

Average return (r) = 12.4%

Risk free return (Rf) = 1.2%

Market return (Rm) = 10.2%

Standard deviation (SD) = 16.2%

Computation of Jensen's α :

Jensen's α = r - [Rf + β(Rm - Rf)]

Jensen's α = 12.4% - [1.2% + 1.15(10.2% - 1.2%)]

Jensen's α = 12.4% - [1.2% + 10.35%]

Jensen's α = 12.4% - 11.55%

Jensen's α = 0.85%

Computation of Treynor's index :

Treynor's index (Ratio) = (r - Rf) / β

Treynor's index (Ratio) = (12.4% - 1.2%) / 1.15

Treynor's index (Ratio) = 11.2% / 1.15

Treynor's index (Ratio) = 9.73913043%

Treynor's index (Ratio) = 9.74% (Approx)

Computation of Sharpe's index :

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = (r - Rf) / SD

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = (12.4% - 1.2%) / 16.2%

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = 11.2% / 16.2%

Sharpe's index (Ratio) = 0.69 13%

The Nelson Company has $1,312,500 in current assets and $525,000 in current liabilities. Its initial inventory level is $380,000

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

company can value of $190909.1

Explanation:

Given data:

current assets = $1,312,500

current liabilities = $525,000

initial inventory level is $380,000

current ratio = 2.2

current liabilities is calculated as $= \frac{Current/ Assets}{current/ ratio}$

plugging all value in above relation

current liabilities $= \frac{1312500}{2.2}$

current liabilities = $ 596590.90

and we know current liabilities is $525,000. Thus company can value of $190909.1

A production facility employs 10 workers on the day shift, 8 workers on the swing shift, and 6 workers on the graveyard shift. A

prisoha [69]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

A What is the probability that all 4 selected workers will be the day shift?

B What is the probability that all 4 selected workers will be the same shift?

C What is the probability that at least two different shifts will be represented among the selected workers.

The total number of workers = 10 + 8 + 6 = 24

The probability that all 4 selected workers will be the day shift is given as:

$P_a=\frac{C(10,4)}{C(24,4)}= \frac{210}{10626}=0.0198$

$C(n,r)=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}$

B) The probability that all 4 selected workers will be the same shift ( $P_B$ ) = probability that all 4 selected workers will be the day shift + probability that all 4 selected workers will be the swing shift + probability that all 4 selected workers will be the graveyard shift.

Hence:

$P_B=\frac{C(10,4)}{C(24,4)}+\frac{C(8,4)}{C(24,4)}+\frac{C(6,4)}{C(24,4)}=0.0198+0.0066+0.0014=0.0278$

C) The probability that at least two different shifts will be represented among the selected workers ( $P_C$ )= 1 - the probability that all 4 selected workers will be the same shift( $P_B$ )

$P_C=1-P_B\\\\P_C=1-0.0278\\\\P_C=0.972$

<u>Relationship selling</u>

The technique emphasizes upon the quality of interaction between the seller and the buyer which shall serve as a basis for develoment of a future relationship between the company and the customer.

This technique is prominent in case of those companies that rely on repetitive purchases on part of the buyer like private instructors. Good relationships may lead to customer loyalty which prompt repetitive purchases at their end.
