Answer:

Advisor A

Explanation:

t bill rate = 0.05

market rate = 0.13

the beta of the market is always 1

the rate of return= 0.05 + (0.13 - 0.05) x 1

= 0.13

which is 13%

<u>this</u><u> </u><u>is</u><u> </u><u>fo</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>adviso</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>A</u><u>.</u><u> </u>

with a return of 20% and 1.5 beta

0.05 + ( 0.20 - 0.05) x 1.5

= 27.5% <u>for</u><u> </u><u>adviso</u><u>r</u><u> </u><u>b</u>

when the return is 15% and beta is 1.2

0.05 + (0.15 - 0.05) x 1.2

= 17%

<u>Therefore advisor a is better</u>

geniusboy [140]

Answer:

NPV = -$78,318

Explanation:

cash flow 0 = -$310,000 - $190,000 = -$500,000

cash flow 1 = $125,000

cash flow 2 = $125,000

cash flow 3 = $125,000 - $58,000 = $67,000

cash flow 4 = $125,000 + $83,000 + $190,000 = $398,000

NPV = -$500,000 + $125,000/1.2 + $125,000/1.2² + $67,000/1.2³ + $398,000/1.2⁴ = -$78,318

One year ago, Alpha Supply issued 15-year bonds at par. The bonds have a coupon rate of 6.5 percent, paid semiannually, and a fa
Masja [62]

Answer:

option (C) - 6.11%

Explanation:

Data provided :

Coupon rate one year ago = 6.5% = 0.065

Semiannual coupon rate = \frac{0.065}{2} = 0.0325

Face value = $1,000

Present market yield = 7.2% = 0.072

Semiannual Present market yield, r = \frac{0.072}{2} = 0.036

Now,

With semiannual coupon rate bond price one year ago, C

= 0.0325 × $1,000

= $32.5

Total period in 15 years = 15 year - 1 year = 14 year

or

n = 14 × 2 = 28 semiannual periods

Therefore,

The present value = C\times[\frac{(1-(1+r)^{-n})}{r}]+FV(1+r)^{-n}

= \$32.5\times[\frac{(1-(1+0.036)^{-28})}{0.036}]+\$1,000\times(1+0.036)^{-28}

or

= $32.5 × 17.4591 + $1,000 × 0.37147

= $567.42 + $371.47

= $938.89

Hence,

The percent change in bond price = \frac{\textup{Final price - Initial price}}{\textup{Initial price}}\times100\%

= \frac{\textup{938.89-1,000}}{\textup{1,000}}

= - 6.11%

therefore,

the correct answer is option (C) - 6.11%
