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%

Consider a $10,000 machine that will reduce pretax operating costs by $3,000 per year over a 5-year period. Assume no changes in
ki77a [65]

Answer:

A) $83

Explanation:

First, find aftertax OCF per year

aftertax OCF = (Operating benefit - depreciation)*(1-tax) +depreciation

Depreciation per year = 10,000/5 = 2,000

Tax = 34%

aftertax OCF per year = (3,000 - 2,000)*(1-0.34) + 2,000

= 660 +2,000

= 2,660

Next, find the PV of the aftertax OCF per year. It is an annuity;

PMT = 2,660

N = 5

I/Y = 10%

FV = 0

then CPT PV = 10,083.493

Subtract the initial cost of the machine to find the Net Present Value (NPV);

NPV = -$10,000 + $10,083.493

NPV = $83.493

Halka Company is a no-growth firm. Its sales fluctuate seasonally, causing total assets to vary from $345,000 to $410,000, but f
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

$345,000

Explanation:

Since Halka Company uses a maturity matching approach, it must match its short term working capital with its short term debts, and its long term working capital with its long term debts. Halka's assets should be compensated with a corresponding debt instrument of similar maturity.

Since Halka's assets vary form $345,000 to $410,000, its long term debt plus equity should match at least $345,000.

This problem has been solved!
velikii [3]

hey there!:

1)

a) Amount of credit the company would receive against the FUTA tax for its SUTA contributions = 2896.21

(56900*3.1%*90%)+(56900*(5.4%-3.1%)) = 2896.21

b)  Amount that Peroni Company would pay to the federal government for its FUTA tax = 517.79

(56900*6%)-2896.21 = 517.79

c) Amount that the company lost because of its late payments = 176.39

=517.79-(3414-1763.9-1308.7) = 176.39

Hope that helps!

What does the Lorenz Curve illustrate about the economy?
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Lorenz curve can be understood as a graphical representation of distribution of wealth or income among the population in a given economy.

Explanation:

Lorenz Curve was proposed by Max O. Lorenz in the year 1905 to represent inequality in the distribution of income among the given population. This curve illustrates that the distribution of wealth is not equal, where one section of the population has all the wealth or income of the economy and the other section of the population is left with none. Whereas in the case of perfect equality, each section of the population should receive an equal amount of wealth of the economy. This means that N% of the society should always have N% of income and not more and not less than that. Thus, this situation is hypothetical and thus, the idea of the Lorenz Curve comes into consideration.
