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

Mila [183]

Answer:

Inventory turnover

Explanation:

From the question we are informed Mayree who is the owner of Spines Books, a small eclectic-style bookstore in a bustling college town. Mayree prides herself in selecting hard-to-find books and magazines that her clientele enjoy. Recently, Mayree is experiencing a cash flow shortage, and she is concerned that she may be purchasing too many copies of each title. Having recently completed a business class, I can suggest to Mayree that she calculate the Inventory turnover ratio for her store, and then compare it to other stores in her industry. Inventory turnover can be regarded as rate at which particular company make sales of it's stock of goods and make replacement of its stock of goods during a particular period.

The inventory turnover ratio can be regarded as formula which is cost of goods that is been sold divided by average inventory within the same period.

Mathematically,

inventory turnover=[Net sales/ Average inventory at particular selling price]
