Answer:
Yes, you can be confident that the portfolio will not lose more than 30% of its value next year
Explanation:
In this question , the average return of portfolio is 12.5% and the standard deviation is 19.5%. It is estimated that there will be 30% loss next year. The confidence interval is 95%.
Range = Average return ± 2 x Standard deviation Low aid = 12.5% - (2 x19.5%) =12.5% -39% = -26.5%
High end = 12.5% +(2 x19.5%) =12.5%+39% = 51.5%
Thus, the low end is
26.5%
The range of return at 95% confidence interval is -26.5% to 51.5%
The amount of cost of goods sold using FIFO method is $110,000.

Answer:
$36,602.5
Explanation:
Your profit each year of saving $7,300 at 8.5% return each year is $620.5
In that case you earn $7,920.5 each. Multiply by 5 years which is the fifth year you made the last deposit, and you will arrive at $36,602.5
Answer:
Expected return on equity is 11.33%
Explanation:
Using Weighted Average Cost Capital without tax formula, overall rate of return is given by the formula:
WACC=(Ke*E/V)+(Kd*D/V)
Kd is the cost of debt at 6%
Ke is the cost of equity at 12%
D/E=1/2 which means debt is 1 and equity is 2
D/V=debt/debt+equity=1/1+2=1/3
E/V=equity/debt+equity=2/1+2=2/3
WACC=(12%*2/3)+(6%*1/3)
WACC=10%
If the firm reduces debt-equity ratio to 1/3,1 is for debt 3 is for equity
D/V=debt/debt+equity=1/1+3=1/4
E/V=equity/debt+equity=3/1+3=3/4
WACC=10%
10%=(Ke*3/4)+(6%*1/4)
10%=(Ke*3/4)+1.5%
10%-1.5%=Ke*3/4
8.5%=Ke*3/4
8.5%=3Ke/4
8.5%*4=3 Ke
34%=3 Ke
Ke=34%/3
Ke=11.33%
