Answer: 0.3

Explanation:

The Sharpe ratio is simply used by organizations and investors in order to compare the return on an investment to its risk.

From the question, we are informed that a portfolio has a 30% standard deviation generated a return of 15% last year when T-bills were paying 6.0%.

The Sharpe ratio will be:

= (15% - 6.0%)/30%

= 9%/30%

= 0.09/0.3

= 0.3

Domestic Market for Steel, Beta

Qs P Qd

80 5 20

70 4 30

60 3 40

50 2 50

40 1 60

Answer:

Assuming that Alpha and Beta are the only two nations in the world, at the equilibrium world price:

Beta will export steel and Alpha will import steel.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Domestic and World Market for Steel

Alpha                   Beta           World Market

Qs    P      Qd       Qs    P      Qd       Qs    P       Qd  

60    5        10       80    5       20      140    5       30

40    4       20       70    4       30       110     4       50

30    3       30       60    3       40       90     3       70

25   2.50  35       55    2.50  45       80    2.50  80

20   2       40       50    2       50        70    2       90

10   1       50        40    1        60       50     1       110

b) In the world market, equilibrium will occur at a price of $2.50, when the quantity supplied and demanded will be 80.  At this equilibrium price of $2.50, Alpha will supply 25 units, and Beta will supply 55 units.  Alpha will demand 35 units, and Beta will demand 45 units.  This implies that Beta will supply more than its demand for steel, while Alpha will supply less.  Therefore, Beta will export steel and Alpha will import steel.

The callable bond should be trade at the less price so it would generate the high return as compared with the non-callable bond. Whenever it is low it generated the high return but it could not increase over and above to the call value at the time when the yield is less. Also prior to the call date the investors expected that the issuer would follow and the price of the bond represent the given strategy

but the yield to maturity should not be measured at the time when the bond can be called
