Answer:

The portfolio return is 12.6% and the portfolio SD is 15.4%. Thus, option a is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The expected return of a portfolio is the weighted average of the individual stock returns that form up the portfolio. Thus, the expected return for a two stock portfolio is,

Return of Portfolio =  wA * rA  +  wB * rB

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolio
  • r represents the return of each stock

Portfolio return = 0.7 * 0.15  +  0.3 * 0.07  =  0.126  or 12.6%

The standard deviation of a two stock portfolio containing one risky and one risk free asset is the weight of risky asset in the portfolio multiplied by the standard deviation of the risky asset. The risk free asset has zero standard deviation.

Standard deviation of such a portfolio is,

Portfolio SD = w of risky asset * SD of risky asset

Portfolio SD = 0.7 * 0.22  

Portfolio SD = 0.154 or 15.4%

Why is a subsidized student loan more advantageous than a non-subsidized loan?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
The federal government offers subsidized loans<span> based on the student’s financial need when applying for aid through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The key components of a subsidized student loan (and the biggest benefits) are:

</span><span>1. The U.S. Department of Education pays for any interest accrued while you are in school. To receive this benefit, you must be enrolled at least halftime.
<span>2. You’ll also get a six-month grace period after graduation, meaning that any interest that accrues during your college career and six months afterward, is completely paid for.

</span></span>Unsubsidized student loans<span>, on the other hand, begin accruing interest from the date of your first loan disbursement, though you’re not required to pay that interest until you finish school. When you graduate, the amount of money that accrued during your education is simply added to the principal loan amount and you begin paying off that new amount. One benefit to taking out a federal unsubsidized loan is that you are not required to demonstrate financial need so the amount you can take out is much higher than a subsidized student loan. Additionally, unsubsidized federal student loans are available for both undergraduate and graduate students.
</span>
<span>Federal subsidized and unsubsidized direct federal loans for undergraduates carry the same low, fixed interest rate, so it is generally a good idea to take out a subsidized loan before taking on additional debt with an unsubsidized loan. If you are planning on going back to school, subsidized loans can help save a lot of money in deferment since interest will not accrue.</span>

Assume that the real rate of interest is 5 percent and a lender charges a nominal interest rate of 15 percent. If a borrower exp
irakobra [83]

Answer:

Correct option is (c)

Explanation:

Nominal interest rate is the sum of real interest rate and inflation. The lender charged nominal interest rate of 15% expecting inflation to be 10% in the following year. However, inflation was 12%. So, nominal rate becomes 17% (12% + 5%).

The lender should have charged a nominal interest rate of 17% instead of 15%. Now, he has to bear the loss of 2%. Borrower on the other hand benefited as he is paying lower interest rate than what is prevailing in the market.
