1. Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 20% and a standard deviation of 25%. The T-bill r

ate is 7%. Suppose that you have a client that prefers to invest in your risky portfolio a proportion (y) of his total investment budget so that his overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 15%. (1) What is the investment proportion, y? (2.) What is the standard deviation of the rate of return on your client’s portfolio? 2. The expected rates of return for stocks A and B are 28% and 22% respectively. The T-bill rate is 12% and the expected rate of return on S&P 500 index is 24%. The standard deviation of stock A is 22% while that of B is 20%. If you could invest only in T-bills plus one of these stocks, which stock would you choose?

Answer:

The computations are shown below:

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Overall portfolio Expected rate of return = Risky portfolio expected rate of return × investment proportion + t- bill rate × 1 - investment proportion

0.15 = 0.20(y) + 0.07(1 - y)

0.15 = 0.20y + 0.07 - 0.07y

So,

y = 61.54%

2.  Now Standard Deviation is

= investment proportion × standard deviation

= (0.6154) × (0.25)

So,

Standard Deviation = 15.38%

2. We Use Sharpe Ratio to choose out the right stock which is shown below:

Sharpe Ratio = (Expected rate of return - Risk free rate of return) ÷ Standard deviation

For Stock A, it is

= (22% - 12%) ÷ 20%

= 0.5

For Stock B, it is  

= (28% - 12%) ÷22%

= 0.73

Since the Sharpe ratio has highest in Stock B and the same is to be choose

Lena invested her savings in two investment funds. The $6000 that she invested in Fund A returned a 6% profit. The amount that s
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The amount that Lena will invest in fund B would be $4000.

Explanation:

Given information -

Amount invested in fund A - $6000

Return earned on fund A - 6%

Let us assume amount invested in fund B be x

Return earned on fund B - 1%

Return on both funds together - 4%

Let us assume the total amount of fund invested be ($6000 + x)

Now using simple equation , we will take out the value of x which is the amount invested in fund B -

$6000 X 6% + x X 1% = 4% ( $6000 + x )

= $360 + .01 x = $240 + .04 x

= $360 - $240 = .04 x - .01 x

$120 = .03 x

x = $120 / .03

= $4000.

wist Corp. has a current accounts receivable balance of $330,800. Credit sales for the year just ended were $3,804,200. a. What
Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

Receivables turnover = 11.50 times

Days' sales in receivables = 31.74 days

Average collection period = 31.74 days

Explanation:

<u>Receivables Turnover Ratio</u>

Receivables turnover = Credit Sales / Receivables

                                    = $3,804,200 / $330,800

                                     = 11.50 times

Receivables turnover ratio measures how many times a company's receivables are converted to cash in a period. A high receivables turnover ratio can indicate that a company’s collection of accounts receivable is efficient and that the company has a high proportion of quality customers that pay their debts quickly.

<u>Days' sales in Receivables/ Average Collection Period</u>

Days' sales in receivables = 365 days / Receivables turnover

                                            = 365 / 11.50

                                            = 31.74 days

On average, credit customers took 31.74 days to pay off their accounts.

The days' sales in receivable ratio which is also known as the average collection period tells you the number of days it took on average to collect the company's accounts receivable during the past year.
