Answer: 2.77
Explanation:
Portfolio Beta is the Weighted Average Beta of all the individual stocks in a portfolio.
Seeing as the other betas and proportions are given, we can plug this into a formula to find out the beta of stock B.
In case you do not see a beta for the U.S. Treasury bills that's fine because beta is a measure of risk and U.S. Treasury bills have NONE so that means that their better is 0.
And if you are wondering what the beta of stock A is, the answer is 1 because that is the beta of the overall market by definition.
Creating a formula therefore we have,
1.75 = 0.17(0) + 0.31(1) + 0.52x
0.52x = 1.75 - 0.31
0.52x = 1.44
x = 2.76923076923
x = 2.77 (2dp)
2.77 is the beta of Stock B.
Answer:
$77,217
$11,289
Explanation:
Fist we will calculate the present value of $10,000 payment
A fix Payment for a specified period of time is called annuity. The discounting of these payment on a specified rate is known as present value of annuity. The value of the annuity is also determined by the present value of annuity payment.
Formula for Present value of annuity is as follow
PV of annuity = P x [ ( 1- ( 1+ r )^-n ) / r ]
Where
P = Annual payment = $10,000
r = rate of return = 10% / 2 = 5%
n = number of period = 5 years x 2 semiannual payments per year = 10 payments
PV of annuity = $10,000 x [ ( 1- ( 1+ 0.05 )^-10 ) / 0.05 ]
PV of Annuity = $77,217
Now we will use the discounting method to calculate the present value of lump sum payment of $20,000
Present value = Future value x Present value factor
PV = FV x ( 1 + r )^-n
PV = $20,000 x ( 1 + 0.1 )^-6
PV = $11,289
Answer:
goals of monetary policy
financial market stability
economic growth
high employment
price stability
Not goals of monetary policy
increasing the size of the financial market
high inflation
improving banks' profits
Dual mandate : high employment
price stability
Explanation:
Monetary policy are policies taken by the central bank of a country to increase or reduce aggregate demand.
There are two types of monetary policy :
Expansionary monetary policy : these are polices taken in order to increase money supply. When money supply increases, aggregate demand increases. reducing interest rate and open market purchase are ways of carrying out expansionary monetary policy
Contractionary monetary policy : these are policies taken to reduce money supply. When money supply decreases, aggregate demand falls. Increasing interest rate and open market sales are ways of carrying out contractionary monetary policy
Goals of monetary policy include
- financial market stability
- economic growth
- high employment
- price stability
The dual mandate of the Federal Reserve was birthed as a result of the stagflation of the 1970s. Stagflation is a period of high unemployment and high inflation levels
The dual mandate are : high employment, stable prices and moderate long-term interest rates.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given that:
a)
1$ = Can $1.12
It takes a value of 1 U.S dollar to have 1.12 Canadian dollars. This signifies that the U.S dollar is worth more than Canadian dollars.
b)
Assuming that the absolute Purchasing Power Parity PPP holds,
Since 1$ = Can $1.12, the cost in the United States of an Elkhead beer, if the price in Canada is Can$2.85 can be determined to be:
= 
= $2.545
c)
Yes, the U.S. dollar is selling at a premium relative to the Canadian dollar.
This is because we are being told that the spot exchange rate for the Canadian dollar is Can $1.12 & in six (6) months time the forward rate will be Can $1.14.
d)
The U.S dollar is expected to appreciate in value because it is trading at a premium in the forward market.
e)
Canada has higher interest rates. This determined by using the formula:
= 
where; n= numbers of years = 6 month/12 month = 0.5 year
Then;
= 0.0356
= 3.56%
Answer:
Profit of $8,500
Explanation:
Strike Price = $90,000
Premium = $1,500
Break even point = Strike price - Premium
Break even point = $90,000 - $150
Break even point = $88500
Profit = Break even point - Share price
Profit = $88,500 - $80,000
Profit = $8,500
