You have $106,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expect

ed return of 16 percent. Stock X has an expected return of 13 percent and a beta of 1.14, and Stock Y has an expected return of 9.0 percent and a beta of .84.
How much money will you invest in stock Y? (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Answer:  ER(P) = ERX(WX) + ERY(WY)

                   16 = 13(1-WY)  + 9(WY)

                    16 = 13 - 13WY + 9WY

                    16 = 13 - 4WY

                   4WY = 13-16

                   4WY = -3

                     WY = -3/4

                     WY = -0.75

                     WX = 1 - WY

                     WX = 1 - (-0.75)

                     WX = 1 + 0.75

                     WX = 1.75

 The amount to be invested in stock Y = -0.75 x $106,000

                                                                    = -$79,500

The Beta of the portfolio could be calculated using the formula:

                     BP = BX(WX) + BY(WY)

                     BP = 1.14(1.75) + 0.84(-0.75)

                     BP = 1.995 - 0.63

                     BP = 1.365

Explanation: The expected return of the portfolio is equal to expected return of stock X multiplied by the weight of stock X plus the expected return of stock Y multiplied by weight of security Y. The weight of security Y is -0.75. The weight of security X is equal to 1 - weight of security Y. Thus, the weight of security X is 1.75 since the weight of security Y is negative. The amount to be invested in security Y is -0.75 x $106,000, which is equal to -$79,500

The Beta of the portfolio equals Beta of stock X multiplied by weight of stock X plus the Beta of stock Y multiplied by weight of stock Y. The weights of the two stocks have been obtained earlier. Therefore, the Beta of the portfolio is 1.365.

Consider the following data: currency (held outside banks) = $354 billion, checkable deposits = $250 billion, traveler's checks
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

a). M1=$808 billion

b). M2=1,068 billion

Explanation:

M1 is the money supply that is the most liquid and is or can be easily converted into cash. The formula for calculating M1 is;

M1=C+D+T+S

where;

M1=money supply

C=currency held outside banks

D=checkable deposits

T=traveler's checks

S=small-denomination time deposits

In our case;

M1=unknown

C=$354 billion

D=$250 billion

T=$4 billion

S=$200 billion

replacing;

M1=(354+250+4+200)=$808 billion

M1=$808 billion

M2 includes elements of M1 and additional  money supply that are near liquid. The formula is;

M2=M1+savings deposit+mutual funds

where;

M1=$808 billion

savings=$100 billion

retail money market mutual funds=$160

replacing;

M2=(808+100+160)=1,068 billion

M2=1,068 billion

Why does a taxminusdeferred retirement account accumulate more money than a taxable​ account, assuming the same amount is contri
skad [1K]

Answer:

Simply because tax-deferred accounts are taxed only when the investor receives or withdraws money from them. For example, a 401 (K)'s interest and capital gains are not taxed until the beneficiary retires and starts to receive payments, and that may take a long time.

It is not the same to be taxed immediately, because that reduces the amount invested. For example, you invest have $100 to invest and your income tax rate is 22%.

  • a tax-deferred account that earns 5% per year will earn $5, and then the principal will increase to $105 for the next, and keep earning more money.
  • a taxable account will only have a $78 after taxes are paid, and if it earns 5%, then it will only earn $3.90 at the end of the year, and the principal will increase to $81.90.
