What is the var of a 10 million portfolio with normally distributed returns at the 5% VaR? Assume the expected return is 13% and
Kitty [74]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. VaR = Expected return - z × Standard deviation  

= 13% - 1.645 × 20%

= -19.90%

Therefore the option a is the correct answer.

2) Now the correlation coefficient is

Variance of the portfolio  = (weight of A × Standard deviation 1)^2 + (weight of B × Standard deviation 2)^2 + (2 × weight of A × weight of B × Standard deviation 1 × Standard deviation 2 × correlation 1 and 2)

3.80% = (60% × 24%)^2 + (40% × 18%)^2 + (2 × 60% × 40% × 24% × 18% × correlation 1 and 2)

So the correlation is 0.583

a and b are the same with the same amount of capital transferred from one partner to another partner, it is just a matter of derecognizing Benson and recognize North or Schmidt.

c) Partner Benson is paid cash her capital,

d) decrease in meir's Capital = 214,000-138,000 = 76,000*3/8= $28,500

   Decrease in Lau's Capital Account = $76,000 5/8 = 47,500

Excess funds are taken from capitals or income summary account of the partnership which will affect the capitals of the remaining partners

e)  Meir's Capital = $138,000 -(70,000-23,000+30,000)

                            = $138,000-77,000

                           = $61,000*3/8 =$22,875

Lau = $61,000*5/8 =38,125

The Capital Accounts of the remaining partners will increase because of the gain made on buying out the leaving partner.

Leto [7]

Answer:

The answer is:

Asset will be overstated

Net income will be overstated

Explanation:

Because of the incorrect capitalization(the process of converting or adding to a firm's asset):

1. Assets are overstated. Assets that shouldn't are added to the entire assets are added. So it's increasing the company's asset whereas it's not.

2. Net income are overstated. Because depreciation too will have to be charged for the asset that wasn't there, therefore, net asset will be overstated.
