Answer:

CoV = 1.671875 rounded off to 1.67

Explanation:

The coefficient of variation (CoV) is a measure of volatility of an investment. It tells the volatility in comparison with the expected return from the investment. We can say that the CoV tells us the risk per unit of return as CoV is calculated by dividing standard deviation, which is a measure of risk, by the expected return of the investment.

CoV = SD / r

Where,

  • SD is the standard deviation
  • r is the expected return

CoV = 0.107 / 0.064

CoV = 1.671875 rounded off to 1.67

If the company were to issue an annual zero-coupon bond with a maturity of 2 years and par value of $1,000, what would be the ar
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Note: <em>The complete question is attached as picture below</em>

1a. The one year spot rate can be calculated using the one year zero bond.

PV * (1 + S1) = FV

1 + S1 = 1000 / 900

S1 = 1.1111 - 1

S1 = 0.1111  

S1 = 11.11%

1b. PV of the 2 year bond = $950

Annual coupon = 1000 * 5% = $50

950 = 50 / (1 + S1) + (50 + 1000) / (1 + S2)^2

950 = 50 / 1.1111 + 1,050 / (1 + S2)^2

1,050/ (1 + S2)^2 = 950 - 45 = 905

(1 + S2)^2 = 1050 / 905

1 + S2 = 1.160221/2

S2 = 7.714%

1c. Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / (1 + 0.07714)^2

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 1,000 / 1.1602

Price of the 2 year zero bond = 861.9203586

Price of the 2 year zero bond = $861.92

<h3>What Is a Green-Field Investment?</h3>

A green-field (also "greenfield") investment is a type of foreign direct investment (FDI) in which a parent company creates a subsidiary in a different country, building its operations from the ground up. The strategy involves building everything the company needs from the ground (or green field) up. This can include all facets of the business, from plant construction to marketing and distribution channels.

Assume that the short-run cost and demand data given in the tables below confront a monopolistic competitor selling a given prod
REY [17]

Profit is maximized when Q = 4 and P = $40, with maximum profit = $90.

<u>Explanation:</u>

(a)  (i) Marginal cost (MC) = Change in Total cost (TC) by Change in output (Q)

(ii) Total revenue (TR) = Price (P) into Q

(iii) Marginal revenue (MR) = Change in TR by Change in Q

(iv) Profit = TR - TC

Therefore:

Q  TC  MC  P  TR  MR  PROFIT

0  25   60  0   -25

1  40  15  55  55  55  15

2  45  5  50  100  45  55

3  55  10  45  135  35  80

4  70  15  40  160  25  90

5  90  20  35  175  15  85

6  115  25  30  180  5  65

7  145  30  25  175  -5  30

8  180  35  20  160  -15  -20

9  220 40  15  135  -25  -85

10  265 45  10  100  -35  -165

When Q = 4, MR = $25 and MC = $15, so MR > MC. When Q = 5, MR = $15 and MC = $20, so MR < MC. Therefore,  

Profit is maximized when Q = 4 and P = $40, with maximum profit = $90.

(b)  In the long run, new firms will enter the market by being attracted by positive short run profit. Therefore in long run, demand for individual firm will decrease, price for individual firm will decrease and profit will decrease until each existing firm earns zero economic profit.
