Answer:

40%

Explanation:

Here, We have two perfectly negatively correlated risky securities.

So, the minimum variance portfolio will be the portfolio with zero variance.

so, x(A)=σ(B)/(σA)+σ(B)) and x(B)=σ(A)/(σ(A)+σ(B))

therefore, x(B)=20/(20+30)

x(B)=20/50

x(B)=2/5 = 40%

Beginning balance of loan payment         350,000

Annual interest rate                                          4%

Interest expenses                                         14,000

Annual payment                                      96,590

Principal Payment                                  82,590

Hence, the principal payment =$82,590

A coupon bond that pays semiannual interest is reported in the Wall Street Journal as having an ask price of 116% of its $1,000
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

$1,174.75

Explanation:

The computation of the invoice price of the bond is shown below:

As we know that

Invoice Price of Bond = Ask Price of Bond + Accrued interest

where,

Ask Price is

= $1,000 × 116%

= $1,160

Interest accrued for 3 months is

= $1,000 × 5.90% × 3 months ÷ 12 months

= $14.75

So,

Invoice Price of Bond is

= $1,160.00 + $14.75

= $1,174.75
