You have a choice among three options. Option 1: receive $900 immediately. Option 2: receive $1,200 one year from now. Option 3:
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Option 2

Option 3

Option 1

Explanation:

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows.

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Present value of option 1 = $900

For option 2 :

Cash flow in year 1 = $1200

I = 15%

Present value = $1,043.48

For option 3 :

Cash flow each year from year 1 to 4 = 0

Cash flow in year 5 = $2000

I = 15%

Present value =$ 994.35

From the above figures, option 2 has the highest present value, followed by option 3 and then option 1.

To find the PV using a financial calacutor:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. After inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

3. Press compute

Suppose the supply curve for wool mittens is represented​ as: Q​ = 50​ + 1/2X​ - 5Y​ - 24Z. Which one of the following statement
natali 33 [55]

Answer:

C) The variable Y could be the price of the wool used to make mittens.

D) The variable X could be consumers income.

Explanation:

quantity supplied = 50 + 1/2X - 5Y  -24Z

In this equation if X increases, then the quantity supplied increases. Therefore X can either be the product's price or consumer income.

In this equation if Y or Z increase, then the quantity supplied decreases. Therefore Y or Z are production costs, either labor or materials.

Suppose that there are many stocks in the security market and that the characteristics of stocks A and B are given as follows: S
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

0.135 or 13.5%

Explanation:

Given in the question are the following:

ERA = Expected return of Stock A = 12% = 0.12

ERB = Expected return of Stock B = 19% = 0.19

SDA = Standard deviation of Stock A = 3% = 0.03

SDB = Standard deviation of Stock B = 9% = 0.09

CAB = Correlation between A and B = -1

The correlation of -1 between Stock A and Stock B indicates that there a perfect negative correlation between the two stocks. Therefore, we can create a risk-free portfolio which its rate of return will be the risk-free rate in equilibrium.  

If we let wA denotes the proportion of investment in Stock A, and let wB denotes the proportion of investment in Stock B, the proportion of this portfolio can be obtained by setting its standard deviation equal to zero. Since there is a perfect negative correlation, the standard deviation of this portfolio (SDP) can be given as follows:

Absolute value [(wA × SDA) – (wB × SDB)] = SDP …………………………………….. (1)

Note that wB = (1 – wA) since the sum of the weight must be equal to 1.

Substituting all the relevant values into equation and set SDP = 0, we have  

[(0.03 × wA) − (0.11 × (1 - wA))] = 0

0.03wA – 0.11 + 0.11wA = 0

0.03wA + 0.11wA = 0.11

0.14wA = 0.11

wA = 0.11 ÷ 0.14 = 0.785714285714286

Since wB = 1 –wA, therefore:

wB = 1 - 0.785714285714286 = 0.214285714285714

The expected rate of return of the portfolio (ERP) can be estimated as follows:

ERP = (wA × ERA) + (wB × ERB)  ................................. (2)

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (2), we have:

ERP = (0.785714285714286 × 0.12) + (0.214285714285714 × 0.19)  

       = 0.0942857142857143 + 0.0407142857142857

ERP = 0.135 or 13.5%

Therefore, the value of the risk-free rate must be 13.5%.
