Based on current dividend yields and expected capital gains, the expected rates of return on portfolios A and B are 9.1% and 12.

1%, respectively. The beta of A is .7, while that of B is 1.7. The T-bill rate is currently 5%, while the expected rate of return of the S&P 500 index is 10%. The standard deviation of portfolio A is 27% annually, while that of B is 48%, and that of the index is 37%. a. If you currently hold a market index portfolio, what would be the alpha for Portfolios A and B? (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 1 decimal place.) Portfolio A % Portfolio B % b-1. If instead you could invest only in bills and one of these portfolios, calculate the sharpe measure for Portfolios A and B. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Sharpe Measure Portfolio A Portfolio B b-2. Which portfolio would you choose? Portfolio A Portfolio B

Answer:

A.) ALPHA

Portfolio A = 8.5%

Portflio B = 13.5%

B.) Sharpe measure

Portfolio A = 0.1519

Portflio B = 0.1479

Explanation:

T- bill rate (Rf) =5%

S&P 500 index ( Rm) = 10%

Portfolio A;

Expected rate of return = 9.1%

Beta (B) = 0.7

Standard deviation (s) = 27%

Portfolio B;

Expected rate of return = 12.1%

Beta (B) = 1.7

Standard deviation = 48%

Required rate of return for both portfolios;

Rf + B × (Rm - Rf)

Portfolio A :

5% + 0.7 ×(10% - 5%) = 5% + 0.7 × (5%)

5% + 3.5% = 8.5%

Portfolio B :

5% + 1.7 ×(10% - 5%) = 5% + 1.7 × (5%)

5% + 8.5% = 13.5%

A) Alpha(A) of Portfolio A and B ;

A = Expected return - Required return

Alpha of portfolio A :

9.1% - 8.5% = 0.6%

Alpha of Portfolio B:

12.1% - 13.5% = - 1.4%

B.) Sharpe measure for portfolio A and B;

Sharpe ratio = (Expected rate of return - Rf) / s

Portfolio A = (9.1% - 5%)/27% = 0.1519

Portfolio B = (12.1% - 5%)/48% = 0.1479

I will choose Portfolio A

Even though most corporate bonds in the United States make coupon payments semiannually, bonds issued elsewhere often have annua
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Bond price=$888.35

Explanation:

<em>The value of the bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash receipts expected from the bond. The value is equal to present values of interest payment plus the redemption value (RV) discounted at the yield rate</em>

<em>Value of Bond = PV of interest + PV of RV</em>

The value of bond for Local School District can be worked out as follows:

Step 1

PV of interest payments

PV = A × (1+r)^(-n)/r

A-annul interest payment:

= 7.5% × 1,000× = 75

r-Annual yield = 8.6%

n-Maturity period = 25  

PV of interest payment:

=75× (1- (1+0.086)^(-25)/0.086)

= 761.22

Step 2

<em>PV of Redemption Value</em>

= 1000 × (1.017)^(-25)

= $127.131

Step 3

<em>Price of bond</em>

=761.222 + 127.13

=$888.35

Most goods in the economy are _____.(A) a natural monopolies. (B) public goods.(C) common resources. (D) private goods.
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

(D) private goods.

Explanation:

Goods is a material that, in economic theory, satisfies people's wishes and provides usefulness. Goods and services are different. In economic theory all goods are considered material, but in reality such goods as information (or information) are non-material goods. For example, although Apple is a tangible asset among other commodities, news is related to non-material class goods and can only be perceived through tools such as Computer and Printing. Material goods such as apples differ from non-material goods as information in terms of the impossibility of a person to keep the other physically, while the former occupies a certain physical area. Intangible goods differ from services in the sense that they are transferable or sold. Price elasticity also differentiates the types of goods. Elastic goods are commodities where there are major changes in quantities due to small changes in the price and, therefore, relate to the family of substitute goods; For example, consumers will prefer to buy pencils, such as pencil shields. Intangible goods are few and no substitutes, such as racing tickets, artist's original work, and medical supplies such as insulin. Complementary goods are more elastic than substitutes. It depends on which commodity is substituting or complementary to other goods.

Private goods are both excludable and rival in consumption. Most goods in the economy are private goods. A private commodity or goods is a product to be purchased for consumption and prevents the consumption of another by one person. In other words, when there is competition between people for the sake of good, good is something special or private, and consuming good prevents one from consuming it.
