Answer:

Average rate of return is 7.8% , and total amount is $4,680

If Kunal wanted to rebalance his portfolio to its original position, he needs to transfer $672 (= $25,872 - $25,200) from stock account to bond account  and $816 ( = $12,936 - $12,120) from stock account to cash.

Explanation:

Total return for year = 14% * (40% of $60,000) + 5% * (40% of $60,000+ 1% *(20% of $60,000) = $4,680

Average rate of return = $4,680/ $60,000 = 7.8%

At beginning, the amount in per diversified portfolio is as below:

  • Amount invested in stock = 40% * $60,000 = $24,000
  • Amount invested in bond = 40% * $60,000 = $24,000
  • Amount in cash = 20% *$60,000 = $12,000

After receiving return, the amount in per diversified portfolio is as below:

Amount invested in stock = $24,000 *(1+14%) = $27,360

  • Amount invested in bond = $24,000 *(1+5%) = $25,200
  • Amount in cash = $12,000 * (1 + 1%) = $12,120

And amount in Kunal’s investment fund  = $27,360 + $25,200 + $12,120 = $64,680

 

If Kunal wanted to rebalance his portfolio to its original position, the amount in per diversified portfolio is as below:

Amount invested in stock = 40% * $64,680 = $25,872

  • Amount invested in bond = 40% * $64,680 = $25,872
  • Amount in cash = 20% *  $64,680 = $12,936

⇒ Kunal needs to transfer $672 (= $25,872 - $25,200) from stock account to bond account  and $816 ( = $12,936 - $12,120) from stock account to cash.

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

sell 1.714

Explanation:

The computation of the number of contract buy or sold to hedge the position is shown below:

As we know that

Number of contracts = Hedge Ratio    

Hedge Ratio = Change in Portfolio Value ÷ Profit on one future contract

where,

Change in the value of the portfolio is

For that we need to do following calculations

Expected Drop in Index is

= (1200 - 1400) ÷ 1400    

= -14.29%    

And, Expected Loss on the portfolio is

= Beta × Expected index drop

= 0.60 × (-14.29%)    

= -8.57%    

So, the change is

= 1000000 × (-8.57%)

= -$85,700  

And, the profit is

= 200 × 250 multiplier

= 50,000

So, the hedging position is

= -$85,700 ÷ 50,000      

= -1.714  

This reflects the selling position

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) has a significant effect on the unemployment rate since a large part of the labor force earns the minimum wage.

Explanation:

The minimum wage law ensures that all employees have a minimum income to live with dignity. Although there is a big debate among economists, the liberal current suggests that the minimum wage law has a major impact on the unemployment rate, especially among the poorest. According to these economists, the minimum wage is instituted above the productivity level of most people, which causes companies to lose efficiency. If wages were fluctuating, according to market law, more workers would probably be hired for wages tied to their productivity. Therefore, among the options, the first seems to be the most correct.
