Assume that you manage a $10.00 million mutual fund that has a beta of 1.05 and a 9.50% required return. The risk-free rate is 4

.20%. You now receive another $5.00 million, which you invest in stocks with an average beta of 0.65. What is the required rate of return on the new portfolio? (Hint: You must first find the market risk premium, then find the new portfolio beta.)

Answer:

The required rate of return of Portfolio is 8.83%

Explanation:

First we need to find the risk Premium of Existing Portfolio using the CAPM model.

Required rate of return = RF + ( Rm - RF ) x Beta

9.50% = 4.20% + ( Rm - RF ) x 1.05

9.50% - 4.20% = ( Rm - RF ) x 1.05

5.30% = (Rm - RF) x 1.05

(Rm - RF) = 5.30%/1.05

(Rm - Rf) = 5.05%

Second we need to find the New Portfolio Beta Using the Following step

Portfolio Beta = ( Existing Portfolio / Total Investment ) x Beta + ( New stock / Total Investment ) x Beta

Portfolio Beta = (10M / 15M) x 1.05 + (5M/15M) x 0.65 = 0.9167

Third Step we will use the CAPM model again to get Required Rate of Return of New Portfolio.

Required rate of return = RF + ( Rm - RF ) x Beta

Required rate of return = 4.20% + 5.05% x 0.9167

Required Rate of Return = 8.83%

You hold bonds issued by the city of Sacramento, California. The interest you earn each year on these bonds a. is not subject to
Anna35 [415]

Answer: a. is not subject to federal income tax and so these bonds pay a lower interest rate than otherwise comparable bonds issued by the U.S. government

Explanation:

Federal income taxes are the taxes that are used in the provision of national programs like settling national debt, infrastructural development, national defense, law enforcement etc.

If an individual owns bonds that are issued by the city of Sacramento, California, it should be noted that the interest that is earned each year on these bonds is not subject to federal income tax and so these bonds pay a lower interest rate than otherwise comparable bonds issued by the U.S. government. Comparable bonds that are being issued by the United States government pay an higher interest.

Using Examples from developing countries explain the term unemployment and discuss five ways of addressing unemployment problem
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Unemployment is measured by the unemployment rate, which is the number of people who are unemployed as a percentage of the labour force (the total number of people employed added to those unemployed).[4]

Unemployment can have many sources, such as the following:

new technologies and inventions

the status of the economy, which can be influenced by a recession

competition caused by globalization and international trade

policies of the government

regulation and market

Unemployment and the status of the economy can be influenced by a country through, for example, fiscal policy. Furthermore, the monetary authority of a country, such as the central bank, can influence the availability and cost for money through its monetary policy.

In addition to theories of unemployment, a few categorisations of unemployment are used for more precisely modelling the effects of unemployment within the economic system. Some of the main types of unemployment include structural unemployment, frictional unemployment, cyclical unemployment, involuntary unemployment and classical unemployment. Structural unemployment focuses on foundational problems in the economy and inefficiencies inherent in labor markets, including a mismatch between the supply and demand of laborers with necessary skill sets. Structural arguments emphasize causes and solutions related to disruptive technologies and globalization. Discussions of frictional unemployment focus on voluntary decisions to work based on individuals' valuation of their own work and how that compares to current wage rates added to the time and effort required to find a job. Causes and solutions for frictional unemployment often address job entry threshold and wage rates.
