dusya [7]

Answer: B. The capital gains yield is positive.

Explanation:

The Capital Gains Yield is a percentage figure that tells how much an investment has increased in price from it's acquisition.

It works by taking the new value and dividing it by the original value.

Using Stacy as an example, the Stock increased by $4 so assuming she bought the stock for even $0.1 then her Capital Yield is,

= 4/0.1

= 40 * 100%

= 4000% which is positive

As long as the stock was sold for more than it was bought, Capital Yield Gain is positive.

inna [77]

Answer:

SO expected return on Mkt Portfolio Rm = 10.75%

Explanation:

market degree of risk aversion A = 3

Var = 0.0225 = SD^2

Rf = 4%

What is expected return on Mkt Portfolio ie Rm??

According to CAPM, Rm-Rf = A*SD^2

where SD is Std Dev (Recall SD^2 = Variance)

A is market degree of risk aversion

So we have Rm-4% = 3*0.0225

ie Rm = 4% + 3*0.0225 = 10.75%

SO expected return on Mkt Portfolio Rm = 10.75%

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The Annual investment that you will to make will be $1,069.01

Explanation:

In order to calculate the uniform annual investment that will you have to make on the child's 8th through 17th birthdays to meet this goal, we have to make the following calculations:

First we need to calculate the Amount you have at the end of child's 8th year = 600*(1+0.05)^4 + 600*(1+0.05)^3 + 600*(1+0.05)^2 + 600*(1+0.05)^1 = $2,715.38

Therefore, Value of this amount at the end of 17th year = $2715.38 * (1+0.05)^9 = $4,212.45

So, Amount required to be saved = $16,000 - $4,212.45 = $11,787.55

Therefore, to calculate the annual investment we would have to use the following formula:

FV of annuity = P*[((1+r)^n - 1)/r]

P - Periodic payment =?

r - rate per period = 0.05

n - number of periods = 17-8 = 9

$11787.55 = P*(((1+0.05)^9 - 1)/0.05)

P = $11,787.55/11.03 = $1,069.01

The Annual investment that you will to make will be $1,069.01

An index model regression applied to past monthly returns in Ford’s stock price produces the following estimates, which are beli
Neko [114]

Answer:

(1.32%)

Explanation:

The computation of the abnormal change in Ford’s stock price is shown below:

Given that

rF = 0.1% + 1.1rM

If the market index rises by 10.2%

So, now the equation is

= 0.1% + 1.1 × 10.2%

= 0.1% + 11.22%

= 11.32%

And, the stock price rises by 10%

So, now the abnormal change in Ford stock price is

= 10% - 11.32%

= (1.32%)

The Diamond Outlet has current earnings per share of $1.96 and an expected earnings growth rate of 2.2 percent. The required ret
hjlf

Answer:

the current market value of this stock is $15.96

Explanation:

given

current earnings = $1.96 per share

growth rate = 2.2 percent

return on the stock = 13 percent

current book value = $12.70 per share

solution

first we get here return on equity that is

return on equity = [ current earning per share × ( 1 + growth ) ] ÷ book value per share     ....................1

return on equity = \frac{1.96 + (1+0.022)}{12.70}  

return on equity =15.77 %

and

now we get here payout ration that is

growth rate = retention ration × ROE      ....................2

put here value

2.2% = (1 - payout ratio ) × 15.77

payout ratio  = 86.05 %

and

now we get here current dividend per share that is

current dividend per share = current earning per share × payout ratio  ...........3

put here value

current dividend per share = 1.96 × 86.05 %

current dividend per share = $1.6865

and

now we get here current market value  

current market value  =  [ current dividend per share × ( 1 + growth ) ] ÷ [ required return - growth rate]     ....................1

current market value  = [Text]\frac{1.6865 \times (1+0.022)}{0.13-0.022}[text]

current market value  = \frac{1.6865 \times (1+0.022)}{0.13-0.022}

current market value = $15.96
