(d)What is the return on your investment in Yahoo stock (as a percent)?

%

(e)What are the weights (in decimals) of Harley-Davidson and Yahoo in the portfolio at the beginning of the year? (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

Harley-Davidson

Yahoo

(f)

A portfolio is a collection of assets. Therefore, the return of a portfolio can also be expressed in terms of the realized returns of each asset in the portfolio and the weight of each asset. Using this idea, compute the realized returns (as a decimal) of the portfolio (this is the approach used by investors and one that we will use for the remainder of the problems). (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Answer:

(a) $0 (b) 0% (c) 50% (d) -40% (e) 0.444 and 0.556 (f) -0.05

Explanation:

(a) Profit (in $) = (increase in price per share of Harley-Davidson * number of Harley-Davidson shares held) - (decrease in price per share of Yahoo * number of Yahoo shares held)

= $90 - $60 = $30 increase in Harley Davidson and $25 - $15 =$10 decrease in Yahoo

= ($30*100) - ($10*300) = $0

(b) return on portfolio = return/capital invested * 100 = $0/($60 * 100 + $25 * 300) = $0/$13500 = 0%

(c) return on investment in Harley = return/capital invested in Harley * 100 = $30*100/$60*1000 = $3000/$6000 = 50%

(d) return on investment in Yahoo = return/capital invested in Yahoo * 100 = -$10*300/$25*300 = -$3000/$7500 = - 40% (negative rate of return)

(e) Weighting at the beginning of year (in decimals)

Harley Davidson = $60 * 100 units/ total invested ($60 * 100 + $25 * 300)

                            = $6000/$13500 = 0.444

Yahoo = $25 * 300 units/ total invested

           = $7500/$13500 = 0.556

(f) realized returns (as a decimal) of the portfolio = 0.444*50% + 0.556*-40%

                                                                                 = -0.0493728

                                                                                 = - 0.05 (to decimal places)

b. Pregnancy Discrimination Act of 1.

Explanation:

The Pregnancy Discrimination Act "prohibits sex discrimination on the basis of pregnancy." According to the act, "if an employee is temporarily unable to perform her job due to pregnancy, the employer must treat her the same as any other temporarily disabled employee".

g Which one of these will increase the present value of a set amount to be received sometime in the future? A) Increase in the t
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Decrease in the interest rate

Explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

let me use an example to illustrate

the present value of $100 in year 0 discounted at 6% = $100

the present value of $100 one year from now discounted at 6% = $94.33

the present value of $100 two years from now discounted at 6% = $89

We can see that present value decreases with an increase in time

2. the present value of $100 one year from now discounted at 6% = $94.33

the present value of $90 one year from now discounted at 6% = $84.91

We can see that present value decreases with a decrease in the future value.

3.  the present value of $100 one year from now discounted at 6% = $94.33

the present value of $100 one year from now discounted at 5% = $95.24

We can see that the lower the discount rate, the higher the present value
