Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": I, II, and III.

Explanation:

Portfolios are pools of assets that allow small investors to access to diversified investment vehicles managed by professionals. Adding new securities to a portfolio requires knowledge of the asset:

  • Expected return:<em> returns expected from an investment given the investment's historical returns. </em>
  • Standard deviation:<em> measure applied to the annual rate of return of the investment to measure the volatility of the investment. </em>
  • Correlation:<em> statistical measurement of how two securities move in relation to each other.</em>

Nitella [24]

Answer:

$23,500

Explanation:

The average accounting rate of return is the rate of return on the investment in the project considering the average annual net income and the average amount of investment made in the project.

In other words, it is the average annual net income expressed as a percentage of the average investment as shown below

average accounting rate of return =average annual net income / average investment.  

average investment=(initial capital outlay+book value of the project at end of useful life)/2

initial capital outlay=$47,000

book value of the project at end of useful life=$0

average investment=($47,000+$0)/2

average investment=$23,500

Banks sometimes quote interest rates in the form of "add-on interest." In this case, if a 1-year loan is quoted with a 20% inter
Bess [88]

Answer:

Calculate the true APR:

It is given that the compounding period is 12 as the payment is done monthly. The total loan amount is $1,000 with $100 monthly installments at an interest rate of 20%. Annuity is a stream of cash flows that continues for a given number of years. The interest rate is calculated by following method. Use the following formula to calculate the present value:

Present value of annuity = c[\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{r(1+r)^{t} }]  

Where,

c —) Monthly payment

r —> Interest rate

t —> Compounding period

Now,

1000 = 100[\frac{1}{r}-\frac{1}{r(1+r)^{12} }]

We cannot determine the exact value of interest of annuity. Using the trial and error method we can determine the interest rate. We can use the TVM (time value of money) keys in the financial calculator to calculate the value of 'r' as below:

Enter

N = 12

PV = -1000

PMT =100

FV = 0

Now press i and we should find that the monthly rate for this annuity(r) is 2.923% per month.

Effective interest rate is the annualized interest rate using compound interest. Multiply the monthly rate by 12 to obtain APR as below:

APR = Monthly rate x 12

Substitute the values in the formula:

APR = 2.923% x 12

APR = 35.076%

Hence, the APR is 35.076%.

Determine the effective annual rate (EAR):

It is the net annual return received. The monthly rate should be used to calculate the effective annual rate with the help of the formula below:

1+ effective annual rate = (1 + monthly rate)^{12}

1+ effective annual rate = (1 + monthly rate)^{12} -1

1+ effective annual rate = (1 + 0.2923)^{12} -1

Effective annual rate = 0.41302 or 41.302 %

Hence, the effective annual rate is 41.302%.

Finally we may conclude that the true rate would be 20%, if $1,000 was borrowed today and $1,200 was paid back one year from today. It should be noted that the true rate must be greater than 20% because the twelve annual payment of $100 should be made before the end of the year.
