The following is part of the computer output from a regression of monthly returns on Waterworks stock against the S&P 500 index. A hedge fund manager believes that Waterworks is underpriced, with an alpha of 2% over the coming month.

Beta = 0.75

R-square = 0.65

Standard Deviation of Residuals = 0.06 (i.e., 6% monthly)

Assuming that monthly returns are approximately normally distributed, what is theprobability that this market-neutral strategy will lose money over the next month?

Assume the risk-free rate is .5% per month.

Answer:

0.33853

Explanation:

Given that, the expected rate of return of the market-neutral position is equal to the risk-free rate plus the alpha:

0.5%+ 2.0% = 2.5%

Hence, since we assume that monthly returns are approximately normally distributed.

The z-value for a rate of return of zero is

−2.5%/6.0% = −0.4167

Therefore, the probability of a negative return is N(−0.4167) = 0.33853

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

The income before tax is $370450, the income tax is $111135 and the net income is $259315.

Explanation:

As the data table is not visible,online a similar question is found for which the data is attached here with.

From the given data

Service Revenue=$943,000

Interest Revenue=$127,1000

Total Revenue=Service Revenue+Interest Revenue=$1070100

Now The expenses are given as

Supplies Expense=$349,200

Repairs and Maintenance Expense =$258,300

Depreciation Expense=$60,350

Rent Expense=$ 31,800

Total Expense=Supplies Expense+Repairs and Maintenance Expense+Depreciation Expense+Rent Expense=$699650

So the income before tax is given as

Income=Total Revenue-Total Expense

Income=$1070100-$699650

Income=$370450

So the income before tax is $370450.

Now the tax is estimated at 30% as given tax rate as

Tax=Rate*Income

Tax=30%*$370450

Tax=$111135

So the income tax is $111135.

Now the Net income is given as

Net Income=Income-Tax

Net Income=$370450-$111135

Net Income=$259315

So the Net Income is $259315.

Two incinerators are being considered by a waste management company. Design A has an initial cost of $2,500,000, has annual oper
IrinaK [193]

Answer: please refer to the explanation section

Explanation:

Design A

Initial cost $2500 000

operating and maintenance cost = $800 000

Overhauls = $1250000 in 5 years

R = 5%

PV= overhaul cost/(1+r)^n + maintenance cost(1 -(1+r)^-5)/r

PV = 1250000/(1 + 0.05)^5  + 800000(1 - (1 + 0.05)^-5)/0.05

PV = 979407.71 + 3463581.34 = 4442989.05

costs to be capitalized = present value of overhaul costs = 979407. 71

Design A will be valued at = 2500000 +  979407. 71 = 347907.71

Total cost of Choosing Design A = 979407.71 + 3463581.34 + 2500000

Total cost of Choosing Design A = 6942989.05

Design B

initial cost = $5750000

Operating and Maintenance = $600000

Overhauls = $3000000 in 10 years

PV= overhaul cost/(1+r)^n + maintenance cost(1 -(1+r)^-5)/r

PV = 3000000/(1 + 0.05)^10  + 600000(1 - (1 + 0.05)^-10)/0.05

PV = 1841739.76 + 4633040.96 = 6474780.72

Cost to be capitalized = overhaul cost = 1841739.76

Design B will be value at = 1841739.76 + 5750000 = 7591739.76

Total cost of costs Design B = 1841739.76 + 5750000 + 4633040.96

Total cost of costs Design B = 12224780.72

Design B involves more costs than Design A. Present value for total cost for choosing Design B is Higher than the present value for Total costs of choosing Design A

Choose Design A

allsm [11]

Answer:

$6,663,453

Explanation:

Cash and marketable securities = $1,235,455

Inventory = $7,134,300

Accounts Receivables = $3,454,000

Other current assets = $121,455

Total Current Assets:

= Cash and marketable securities + Inventory + Accounts Receivables + Other current assets

= $1,235,455  + $7,134,300  +  $3,454,000 + $121,455

= $11,945,210

Accounts payable = $4,159,357

Short term notes payable = $1,122,400

Total Current Liabilities:

= Accounts payable + Short term notes payable

= $4,159,357 + $1,122,400

= $5,281,757

Net Working Capital = Total Current Assets - Total Current Liabilities

                                  = $11,945,210 - $5,281,757

                                  = $6,663,453
