Answer:

16.0996% rounded off to 16.1%

Explanation:

We can calculate the standard deviation of a portfolio, that is the total risk of a portfolio, using the following formula,

S.D = √ (w1)² (S.D1)² + (w2)² (S.D2)² + 2 (w1) (w2) (correlation) (S..D1) (S.D2)

Where,

  • w1 is the weigh-age of investment in stock/bond 1
  • S.D1 is standard deviation of returns of stock/bond 1
  • w2 is the weight-age of stock/bond 2
  • S.D2 is the standard deviation of returns of stock/bond 2
  • correlation is the correlation between the returns of stock/bond 1 and 2

We calculate the S.D of given portfolio,

S.D = √ (0.5)² (0.24)² + (0.5)² (0.12)² + 2 (0.5) (0.5) (0.55) (0.24) (0.12)

S.D = 0.160996 or 16.0996 %

The following present value factors are provided for use in this problem.
Sati [7]

Answer:

$7,213.40

Explanation:

The computation of the net present value is shown below:

= Present value of all yearly cash inflows after applying discount factor - initial investment

where,  

Initial investment is $50,000

And, the present value till 3 year would be

= Annual cash flows × PVIFA factor for 3 years at 12%

= $18,000 × 2.4018

= $42,232.40

And, the present value for fourth year would be

= Annual cash flows × present value factor

= $22,000 × 0.6355

= $13,981

So, the total present value would be

= $43,232.40 + $13,981

= $57,213.40

Since the annual cash flows are same for the three years so we use the PVIFA table

Refer to the PVIFA table

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the value would be equal to

= $57,213.40 - $50,000

= $7,213.40

Real per capita GDP in Singapore in 1960 was about $450, but it doubled to about $900.00 by 1977. a. What was the average annual
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

4.16%

Explanation:

to calculate Singapore's economic growth rate we can use the future value formula (we could also use the rule of 72 but it is not very exact):

future value = present value x (1 + r) ⁿ

  • future value = 900
  • present value = 450
  • n = 17
  • r = ?

900 = 450 (1 + r)¹⁷

(1 + r)¹⁷ = 900 / 450 = 2

1 + r = ¹⁷√2 = 1.0416

r = 1.0416 - 1 = 0.0416 or 4.16%
