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

Since your first​ birthday, your grandparents have been depositing $ 1 comma 000 into a savings account on every one of your bir
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

The amount of money in my savings account will be closest​ to $29,213

Explanation:

A fix Payment for a specified period of time is called annuity. The Compounding of these payment on a specified rate is known as Future value of annuity. In this question $1,000 per year payment for 18 years at 6% interest rate is also an annuity.

We can calculate the amount of saving by calculating the future value of the given annuity.

Formula for Future value of annuity  is as follow

Future value of annuity = FV = P x ( [ 1 + r ]^n - 1 ) / r

Where

P = Annual payment = $1,000

r = rate of return = 6%

n = number of years = 18 years

Placing Value in the formula

As on the 18th payment no compounding interest income is accrued yet because grandparent made it now.

Future value of annuity = FV = $1,000 + 1,000 x ( [ 1 + 6% ]^18-1 - 1 ) / 6%

Future value of annuity = FV = $1,000 + 1,000 x ( [ 1 + 0.06 ]^17 - 1 ) / 0.06

Future value of annuity = FV = $29,213

When a project has a positive total slack, some activities can be ________ without jeopardizing completion of the project by its
Art [367]

Answer:

Delayed, accelerated

Explanation:

Total or aggregate slack, is the term which is defined for the activity, is the time that this activity could delayed without impacting on the final date of the project.

It can be computed as the:

Smaller value of Late finish - Early finish field

and

Late start - Early start field

So, when project has positive total slack, few activities delayed the completion of project and when the project has negative total slack, then few activities accelerated to finish the project.

Accounting professors earn more than English professors at most universities. Explain this with a supply and demand graph.
GenaCL600 [577]
I will assume here (since I don't have more information) that each school needs one English and one Accounting professor, but that more people are ready to teach English than accounting (this assumption might be wrong, but it's what  think)

therefore the supply is bigger for the English professors than for the Accounting professors -this means that the accounting professors can ask for bigger salary (the bigger the supply, the smaller the prize)
