Consider an asset that costs $120 today. You are going to hold it for 1 year and then sell it. Suppose that there is a 25 percen

t chance that it will be worth $100 in a year, a 25 percent chance that it will be worth $115 in a year, and a 50 percent chance that it will be worth $140 in a year. What is its average expected rate of return?
At what price would the asset have a zero rate of return?

Answer:

  1. the average expected rate of return = 3.13%
  2. the current price at which the asset would have a zero rate of return is $123.75

Explanation:

To determine the expected rate of return we must first calculate the expected future value of the asset:

$100 x 25% = $25.00

$115 x 25% = $28.75

$140 x 50% = $70.00

the expected future value = $25.00 + $28.75 + $70.00 = $123.75

the average expected return = $123.75 - $120 = $3.75

the average expected rate of return = ($3.75 / $120) x 100 = 3.13%

the current price at which the asset would have a zero rate of return is $123.75, since the average expected return = $123.75 - $123.75 = 0

Answer:

Average expected rate of return is 3.13%

The asset have a zero rate of return if at price of $120

Explanation:

Rate of return RR = \frac{Future\:Value - Initial\:Value}{Initial\:Value} \times 100

Rate of return of the first possibility:  (100-120)/120 * 100 = -16.67%

Rate of return of the second possibility:  (115-120)/120 * 100 = -4.16%

Rate of return of the third possibility:  (140-120)/120 * 100 = 16.67%

Average expected rate of return = \sum{weight_{i}RR_{i}}

= 0.25*(-16.67%) + 0.25*(-4.16%) + 0.5*16.67% = 3.13%

RR = 0 => Future Value - Initial Value = 0

The asset have a zero rate of return when future price is the same as current price ($120)

1. If money is deposited in a bank that pay's simple interest of 4.5 %, bow much will have to be deposited to earn $90 of intere
TiliK225 [7]

The amount of 3000 will have to be deposited to earn $90 of interest for 8 months, if money is deposited in a bank that pay's simple interest of 4.5%.

Explanation:

The given is,

                       Simple interest of 4.5 %

                       Earn $90 of interest for 8 months​

Step:1

            Formula to calculate the simple interest method,

                                            F=P(1+iN)...................................(1)

           Where,

                           F - Future amount

                           P - Initial investment

                            i - Rate of interest

                           N - Number of years

            From given,

                          i - 4.5%

          Let, X - Initial investment, P = X

                                                      F = P + Interest amount

                                                      F = X + 90

         From the equation (1),

                                           (X+90)=X(1+(0.045)(0.667))

                               (∵ N = 8 months = \frac{8}{12} = 0.667 year )

                                            (X+90)=X(1+(0.03))

                                             (X+90)=X(10.03)

                                             (X+90)=1.03 X

                                                        90=1.03X-X

                                                        90=0.03X

                                                             = \frac{90}{0.03}

                                                             = 3000

                                                  P = X = $ 3000

          From the X value.

                                                   F = P + 90

                                                      = 3000 + 90

                                                  F = $ 3090

Result:

The amount of 3000 will have to be deposited to earn $90 of interest for 8 months, if money is deposited in a bank that pay's simple interest of 4.5%.
