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
Answer:
The correct answer is 10.72% ( Approx.).
Explanation:
According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:
Debt ratio = 46.5%
Capital intensity ratio = 2.51 times
Profit margins = 21%
Dividend payout = 38%
Formula to calculate sustainable growth rate ae as follows:
Sustainable growth rate = (Earnings retention rate × Return on equity ) / ( 1 - (ROE × RR)
where, Retention rate =(1 - dividend payout rate)
= (1-0.38) = 0.62
ROE = Profit margin × Total asset turonver × Equity multipler
= Profit margin × 1/capital intensity ratio × 1/(1-debt ratio)
= .21 × (1/2.51) × 1/(1-.465)
= .21 × 0.398 × 1.869
= 0.1562
=15.62%
So, Sustainable growth rate = (0.1562*0.62) / 1 - (0.1562*0.62)
= 0.096844 / 0.903156
= 0.1072
= 10.72% (approx.)
Hence, the correct answer is 10.72% (approx.).
Answer:
2016 2015 2014 2013
gross profit% 26.29% 22.58% 22.45% 22.41%
Inventory turnover 6.58 7.64 7.6 7.94
cost of material % 59.89% 51.76% 89.82% 51.10
b. gross% has increased this may be due to a high demand, and intense marketing.
inventory turnover has decreased this may be due to new competition, or introduced product(new product)
cost of material purchased % it has increased in 2016, this may be due to increased production and effective use of material.
Explanation:
gross profit % =gross profit/ sales
gross profit = sales less cost of sales
inventory turnover = cost of sales / average inventory
average inventory = (opening inventory + closing inventory )/2
cost of material purchased/ cost of finished goods
finished goods = cost of sales + closing - opening goods
