Answer:

Amount investment in Sock Y = - $126,000

Beta of portfolio = 1.636

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Total amount to be invested = $140,000

Stock                          X       Y

Expected return       14%     10%

Beta                          1.42     1.18

Expected return of portfolio = 17.6%

Now,

let the weight invested n stock X be W

therefore,

Weight of Stock Y = 1 - W

thus,

( W × 14% ) + (1 - w) × 10% = 17.6 %

or

14W + 10% - 10W = 17.6%

or

4W = 7.6

or

W = 1.9

Therefore,

weight of Y = 1 - 1.9 = -0.9

Thus,

Amount investment in Sock Y = Total amount to be invested × Weight

= 140,000 × ( - 0.9 )

= - $126,000 i.e short Y

Beta of portfolio = ∑ (Beta × Weight)

= [ 1.42 × 1.9 ] + [ 1.18 × (-0.9) ]

= 2.698 - 1.062

= 1.636

Margin 6.50%

ROI 11.70%

New South Wale Division Margin

Margin 3.50%

ROI 15.75%

2. New South wale Division

Explanation:

1. Computation for each division's margin, turnover, and return on investment (ROI)

QUUEN LAND DIVISION MARGIN

Using this formula

Margin =Net operating income/Total Sales

Let plug in the formula

Margin =$70,200/ $ 1,080,000

Margin=6.50%

QUUEN LAND DIVISION ROI

First step is to determine the Turnover using this formula

Turnover=Total sales/Average Asset

Let plug in the formula

Turnover= $ 1,080,000 /$600,000

Turnover =1.8 times

Now let determine the ROI using this formula

ROI =Margin * Turnover

Let plug in the formula

ROI=6.50%*1.8

ROI=11.70%

NEW SOUTH WALE DIVISION MARGIN

Margin =$ 83,475 / $ 2,385,000

Margin=3.5%

NEW SOUTH WALE DIVISION ROI

First step is to determine the Turnover using this formula

Turnover=Total sales/Average Asset

Let plug in the formula

Turnover= $ 2,385,000 /$530,000

Turnover =4.5 times

Now let determine the ROI using this formula

ROI =Margin * Turnover

Let plug in the formula

ROI=3.5%*4.5

RO1=15.75%

2. Based on the above calculation the divisional manager that seems to be doing the better job

Is NEW SOUTH WALE DIVISION because the ROI is greater.

A 30-year maturity bond making annual coupon payments with a coupon rate of 8.5% has duration of 12.88 years and convexity of 23
marin [14]

Answer:

a. Predicted Price = $1815.52

b. Predicted Price = $1,834.64

c. Predicted Price = $1425.4

Explanation:

The actual price of the bond as a function of yield to maturity is:

Yield to maturity --- Price

7% $1,620.45

8% $1,450.31

9% $1,308.21

a.

Using the Duration Rule, assuming yield to maturity falls to 6%:

Predicted price change = (-D/(1 + y)) * ∆y * Po

Where D = Duration = 12.88 years

y = YTM = 7%

∆y = 6% - 7% = -1%

Po = $1,620.45

So, Predicted Change = (-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * -0.01 * 1,620.45

Predicted Change = 195.0597757009345

Predicted Change = $195.06 ----- Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 + $195.06

= $1815.52

b.

Using Duration-with-Convexity Rule, assuming yield to maturity falls to 6%

Predicted price change

= [(-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * (-0.01) + (½ * 235.95 * (-0.01²))] * 1,620.45

= 214.1770345759345

= $214.18 ------ Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 + $214.18

= $1,834.64

c.

Using the Duration Rule, assuming yield to maturity rise to 8%:

Predicted price change = (-D/(1 + y)) * ∆y * Po

Where D = Duration = 12.88 years

y = YTM = 7%

∆y = 8% - 7% = 1%

Po = $1,620.45

So, Predicted Change = (-12.88/(1 + 0.07)) * 0.01 * 1,620.45

Predicted Change = -195.0597757009345

Predicted Change = -$195.06 ----- Approximated

Therefore the new Predicted Price

= $1,620.46 - $195.06

= $1425.4

A company had $5,000,000 in total revenues for its fiscal year. Its expenses for the year were $3,500,000. Its total assets were
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

ROA = 0.12

so correct option is d

Explanation:

Given data:

total revenue = $5,000,000

Expenses = $3,500,000

Total assets = $12,500,000

Rate on assets (ROA) is calculated as

ROA = \frac{Net\ income}{Total\ assets}

Net income = total revenue - expenses

Net income = $5,000,000 - 3,500,000

So,ROA = \frac{1500000}{12500000}

ROA = 0.12

so correct option is d
