A pension fund manager is considering three mutual funds. The first is a stock fund, the second is a long-term government and co

rporate bond fund, and the third is a T-bill money market fund that yields a sure rate of 5.5%. The probability distributions of the risky funds are: Expected Return Standard Deviation Stock fund (S) 15 % 32 % Bond fund (B) 9 % 23 % The correlation between the fund returns is 0.15. What is the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL?

Answer:

0.296875

Explanation:

Given the following :

Probability distribution of risky funds :

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - stock fund(S) - - bond fund(B)

Expected return - - - 15% - - - - - - - - - - 9%

Std - - - - - - - - - - - - - 32% - - - - - - - - - - 23%

Correlation between funds return = 0.15

Sure rate = 5.5%

To calculate the Sharpe ratio we use the formula :

Sharpe Ratio = (Expected Return of Investment - Risk Free Rate) / Standard Deviation of excess return of investment

For the stock fund :

Expected return = 15%

Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%

Standard deviation = 32%

Sharpe ratio of stock fund :

(15% - 5.5%) / 32%

= 9.5% / 32%

= 0.296875

For Bond fund :

Expected return = 9%

Risk free rate = market sure rate = 5.5%

Standard deviation = 23%

Sharpe ratio of bond fund :

(9% - 5.5%) / 23%

= 3.5% / 23%

= 0.1521739

Therefore the Sharpe ratio of the best feasible CAL is the higher of the two ratios which is 0.296875

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]
In such a case Shawn's company cannot and should not give out a dividend.

Since the company has just raised money, is growing and profitable and it is becoming hard to keep up with demand, this is the best time for the company to reinvest its profits to:

1. Hire more people/Buy more product

2. Improve processes

3. Use the profits to invest in R&D

4. Use the profits to invest in marketing and promotion

5. Invest in providing better customer service

So no dividend should be given since it can hamper the growth of a young company. The money should be used to grow the company for now and in the future all shareholders can enjoy good dividends.

Given Data:

Adjusted basis of property=$40000

Cash received =  $15000

Additional stock received = $35000

Total received =  Cash received + Additional stock received

                        = $35000 + $15000

                        = $50000

 Gain recognized by Ben = Total received - Adjusted basis of property

                                          =$50,000  -$40,000

                                        = $10,000

Montano1993 [528]

If sales volume increases and all other factors remain constant, then the Margin of safety will increase

Explanation:

The margin for safety (MOS) is described as an overall excess of current or expected revenue, expressed either in terms of currency or in units, or as a percentage of total revenues.

One of the main ways to increase the safety margin is through increasing the gross value per unit (if business conditions are favourable) and by reducing the variable cost per unit of the good. This can be accomplished by rising selling costs.

The yield of maturity for this bond is "8.4 percent".
We can calculate this in the following way;
<span>Yield to maturity = YTM = {($1,000 x .06) + [($1,000 - 900)/5]}/[($900 + $1,000)/2]
