Answer:
D) If the return is risk-free and never deviates from its mean, the variance is one.
Explanation:
In the given case, the following statements are true:
a. In the case when the variance increased so the deviation magnitude from the mean is also increased
2. The variance is the predicted square deviation from the mean
3. And, the two common measures of the risk is the variance and the standard deviation
But when the return is risk less so the variance should be zero not one
Therefore the option d is false
Believes in something, values honesty and triump
Answer:
a. Expected Return = 16.20 %
Standard Deviation = 35.70%
b. Stock A = 22.10%
Stock B = 29.75%
Stock C = 33.15%
T-bills = 15%
Explanation:
a. To calculate the expected return of the portfolio, we simply multiply the Expected return of the stock with the weight of the stock in the portfolio.
Thus, the expected return of the client's portfolio is,
- w1 * r1 + w2 * r2
- 85% * 18% + 15% * 6% = 16.20%
The standard deviation of a portfolio with a risky and risk free asset is equal to the standard deviation of the risky asset multiply by its weightage in the portfolio as the risk free asset like T-bill has zero standard deviation.
b. The investment proportions of the client is equal to his investment in T-bills and risky portfolio. If the risky portfolio investment is considered of the set proportion investment in Stock A, B & C then the 85% investment of the client will be divided in the following proportions,
- Stock A = 85% * 26% = 22.10%
- Stock B = 85% * 35% = 29.75%
- Stock C = 85% * 39% = 33.15%
- T-bills = 15%
- These all add up to make 100%
Answer:
3 years
Explanation:
The computation of the time period is shown below
Present value of annuity = Annuity × [1 - (1 + interest rate)^-time period] ÷ rate
$2,000 = $734.42 × [1 - (1.05)^-n] ÷ 0.05
$2,000 = $14,688.4 × [1-(1.05)^-n]
1-(1.05)^-n = ($2000 ÷ $14,688.4)
(1.05)^-n = 1 - ($2000 ÷ $14,688.4)
( 1 ÷ 1.05)^n = 0.86383813
Now take the log to the both sides
n × log(1 ÷ 1.05) = log0.86383813
n = log0.86383813 ÷ log (1 ÷ 1.05)
= 3 years
I belive this is Undervaluing asserts.
hope this helps!
