Answer:
Expected return is: 7.37% and the Standard deviation is: 24.96%
Explanation:
Correlation between fund S&B=0,0667
Standard Deviation of Fund S=41%
Standard Deviation of Fund(B)=30%
E(R) of Stock Fund S=12%
E(R) of Stock Fund B=5%
Covariance between the funds = Standard Deviation of Fund(B) × Standard Deviation of Fund S × correlation between these funds
Cov = 0.41 × 0.30 × 0.0667 = 0.008204
Now minimum variance portfolio is found by applying:
W min(S)=(SDB)^2-Cov(B,S) / ((SDS)^2+(SDB)^2-2Cov(B,S)
W min(S) = 0.338431
W min(B) = 1-0.338431=0.661569
1) E(r)min= 0.338431 × 12% + 0.661569 × 5% = 7.37%
2) Standard Deviation:
SD Min = (Ws^2XSDs^2+Wb^2XSDb^2+2XWsWb*Cov(s,B)^1/2
SDmin=(0.338431^2 × 0.41^2 + 0.661569^2 × 0.3^2 + 2 × 0.338431 × 0.661569 × 0.008204)^1/2
SDmin=24.96%
Answer:
The boss is correct.
Explanation:
Under Sarbanes-Oxley Act, a rules-based approach to corporate governance and reporting is used. It is based on the view that companies must be
required by law (or by some other form of compulsory regulation) to comply with established principles of good corporate governance.
Except in the instances of exceptions provided in the act, company has no choice than to comply regardless of the cost implication because non-compliance is punishable under the act. Sometimes, it is called tick box approach
This is contrary to what is obtainable in a principled-based approach where allowance is given for explanation in the event of possible con-compliance.
Im gonna guess tax deduction
Answer:
$0.26
Explanation:
diluted earnings per share (EPS) = (net income - preferred dividends) / (weighted average outstanding shares + diluted shares)
net income = $330,000
preferred dividends = 2,000 x $500 x 8% = $80,000. Since the preferred stocks are convertible, they will be considered diluted shares. Therefore, no preferred dividends will be included in the calculation.
weighted average outstanding shares:
- January 1 = 700,000 x 12/12 = 700,000
- March 1 = 200,000 x 10/12 = 166,666.7
- total weighted average = 866,666.7
diluted shares = 2,000 preferred stocks x 200 = 400,000
diluted EPS = $330,000 / (866,666.7 + 400,000) = $0.260526247 ≈ $0.26
Answer: Registered Bonds
Explanation:
A registered bond is one that has the owner's name and contact information recorded by the issuer so as to ensure that interest payments depending on the bond terms are rightly given out and also to track claims to coupons.The two ways bonds can be registered and transferred
1. Physically by printing owners details at the back of the certificate and BY signing or endorsing a certificate during transfer of bonds,
2. Electronically bY recording on a system database for ownership claim and for transfer of bonds.
The opposite of a Registered bond is a Bearer bond, Here, the owner"s details and information are not recorded.
