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

B. Investors may invest a combined $50 million within a 12-month period.

C. Investors may invest no more than $1 million combined for the first year of the business.

Answer:

Option C. Investors may invest no more than $1 million combined for the first year of the business.

The non-accredited investors do not invest more than $1 million for first year. Furthermore, for Investor it also imposes investment in current business conditions which says that Investor can invest in its business with greater of:

1. $2000

2. Or the lesser of (If the net worth of Wendy is less than $100,000)

  • 5% of its total income for the year

There is also an option which is available if the net worth of Investor exceeds above $100,000 then he can invest up to lesser of 10% of his income or net worth, otherwise he will have to follow the above conditions.

Here, it also has an upper limit, which means that the investor can not invest more than $100,000 in the subsequent year, whatever the level of net worth or income he had for the year.

ipn [44]

We can use the PV of perpetuity formula as the dividends will be paid for the infinite period of time. But we need to do a small adjustment for floatation cost. Following formula can be applied:

Cost of preferred stock = Annual Dividend / (Price x (1- flotation cost %))

= 8.50 / ( 97.50 x (1- 0.04))

= 8.50/93.60

= 9.08%
