Answer: True
Explanation: A mutual fund is a collective pool of funds provided by a group of individuals to money managers for investment in various securities such as stocks and bonds.
Due to it's collective nature, every shareholder or investor benefits and loses in equal portion - and the expenses of the mutual fund are shared in the expense ratio.
Because the funds are invested into stocks, bonds and other securities, they usually have a lower risk than individual stocks or bonds.
Answer: Economic choices result in trade-offs.
Explanation:
The chart simply purports to show that when making economic decisions, you will have to accept trade-offs because resources are not infinite.
For instance, in order to expand, you will need to take on more financial risk. In that same vein, in order to serve more people, you will have to divide time between two stalls and might end up closing a stall.
Trade-offs simply have to be made.
Answer:
A.) ALPHA
Portfolio A = 8.5%
Portflio B = 13.5%
B.) Sharpe measure
Portfolio A = 0.1519
Portflio B = 0.1479
Explanation:
T- bill rate (Rf) =5%
S&P 500 index ( Rm) = 10%
Portfolio A;
Expected rate of return = 9.1%
Beta (B) = 0.7
Standard deviation (s) = 27%
Portfolio B;
Expected rate of return = 12.1%
Beta (B) = 1.7
Standard deviation = 48%
Required rate of return for both portfolios;
Rf + B × (Rm - Rf)
Portfolio A :
5% + 0.7 ×(10% - 5%) = 5% + 0.7 × (5%)
5% + 3.5% = 8.5%
Portfolio B :
5% + 1.7 ×(10% - 5%) = 5% + 1.7 × (5%)
5% + 8.5% = 13.5%
A) Alpha(A) of Portfolio A and B ;
A = Expected return - Required return
Alpha of portfolio A :
9.1% - 8.5% = 0.6%
Alpha of Portfolio B:
12.1% - 13.5% = - 1.4%
B.) Sharpe measure for portfolio A and B;
Sharpe ratio = (Expected rate of return - Rf) / s
Portfolio A = (9.1% - 5%)/27% = 0.1519
Portfolio B = (12.1% - 5%)/48% = 0.1479
I will choose Portfolio A
Answer:
