Answer:

9.75%

4.2%

Explanation:

Given:

Stock index portfolio = 70% = 70/100 = 0.70

Risk free asset = 30% = 30/100 = 0.30

Return on the risk-free asset = 4.5% = 4.5/100 = 0.045

Return on the stock index = 12% = 12/100 = 0.12

Standard deviation (Return on the stock index) = 6% = 6/100 = 0.06

Computation of expected return on the portfolio:

Expected return = [Risk free asset × Return on the risk-free asset ] + [Stock index portfolio × Return on the stock index ]

= [0.3 × 4.5] + [0.7 × 12]

= [1.35 + 8.4]

= 9.75%

Computation of expected standard deviation of the portfolio:

Expected standard deviation = [Stock index portfolio × Standard deviation (Return on the stock index)]

= 0.7× 6

= 4.2%

An investor must decide between putting $2,000 into a regular retirement plan or putting $1,440 into a Roth retirement plan. If
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

They both produced the same cash amount

Explanation:

The regular retirement would have its deducted after withdrawal from the plan while Roth retirement plan's tax would have been deducted prior to investing funds in the plan

The future value of the $2000 is computed thus:

FV=PV*(1+r)^n

PV is the amount saved in the plan which is $2000

r is the growth rate of the funds in the plan which is 12%

n is the number of years the amount would be left in the plan

FV=$2000*(1+12%)^20=$ 19,292.59  

After tax amount=$ 19,292.59*(1-28%)=$ 13,890.66  

The future value of the $1,440 is computed thus:

FV=$1,440*(1+12%)^20=$ 13,890.66  

The Roth plan has not tax implication thereafter as tax was paid before savings.
