Answer:
25.94%
Explanation:
Assume, Face value of bond =$1000
Purchase price of twenty year zero coupon bond = 1000/((1+i)^N)
. Where, yield = 5% =0.05
, N= number of years to maturity =20
==> Purchase Price = 1000/(1.05^20)
Purchase Price = 1000/2.65329770514
Purchase Price = $376.89
Selling Price after one year: 1000/(1+I)^19. Where i=yield=4%=0.04, N=19
Selling Price=1000/(1.04^19)
Selling Price = 1000/2.10684917599
Selling Price = $474.64
Rate of Return = (474.64/376.89) - 1
Rate of Return = 1.25935949481281 - 1
Rate of Return = 0.2594
Rate of Return = 25.94%
Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
Mean daily demand, M = 20 calculators per day
Standard deviation, SD = 4 calculators per day
Lead time for this calculator, L = 9 days
z-critical value (for 95% in-stock probability) = 1.65 (From z tables)
Normal consumption during lead-time:
= Mean daily demand × Lead time
= 20 × 9
= 180 units of calculator
Safety Stock = z value × SD × L^(0.5)
= 1.65 × 4 × (9)^(0.5)
= 1.65 × 4 × 3
= 19.8 units
Reorder Point = Normal consumption during lead-time + Safety Stock
= 180 units + 19.8 units
= 199.8 or 200 units (Approx)
Answer:
31.47%
Explanation:
Total investment = 4000 + 3000 +9000 = $16,000
% of investment in A = 4000/16000 = 25%
% of investment in B = 3000/16000 = 18.75%
% of investment in Asset beta and risk-free asset = 100% - 25% -18.75% = 56.25%
Let the % of investment in asset with beta of 1.74 is A, % of investment in risk free asset is B.
We have the following simultaneous equations:
0.9 = (0.25 x 1.47) + (0.1875 x 0.54) + (A x 1.74) + (B x 0)
A+B = 56.25%
From the first equation, we get A = 24.78%
--> B = 56.25% - 24.78% = 31.47%
*** Note: Portfolio beta is the weighted sum of individual asset betas, according to the proportions of the investments in the portfolio
*** Note: Beta of risk free asset is 0
