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)

Mr. Ballard retired in 2018 at age 69 and made his first withdrawal of $35,000 from his traditional IRA. At year-end, the IRA ba
serg [7]

Answer:

a)

Contributions amounting to $320,000 were non deductible.

<u>First year of withdrawal:</u>

Taxfree withdrawal % = Uncovered Investments / Current year value x 100

Taxfree withdrawal % = [$320,000 / ($441,000 + $35,000)] x 100

Taxfree withdrawal % = [$320 / $476,000] x 100

Taxfree withdrawal % = 67.23%

Amount of taxfree withdrawal = 67.23% x $35,000

Amount of taxfree withdrawal = $23,530.5

Taxable amount = Total Withdrawal - Tax free withdrawal

Taxable amount = $35,000 - $23,530.5

Taxable amount = $11,469.5

<u>Second year of withdrawal:</u>

Taxfree withdrawal % = [($320,000 - $23,530.5) / ($407,000 + $60,000)] x 100

Taxfree withdrawal % = [$296, 469.5 / $467,000] x 100

Taxfree withdrawal % = 63.48%

Amount of taxfree withdrawal = 63.48% x $60,000

Amount of taxfree withdrawal = $38,088

Taxable amount = $60,000 - $38,088

Taxable amount = $21,912

b)

$35,000 would be included in taxable income in first year and $60,000 would be included in taxable income in second year.

A large hospital has an annual demand for 70.000 booklets on healthy eating. It cost ​$.75 to store one booklet for a​ year, and
Goryan [66]

Answer:

It will order 3,865 booklets

Explanation:

We need to use the formula for Economic Optimal Quantity

Q_{opt} = \sqrt{\frac{2DS}{H}}

Where:

D = annual demand

S= supply cost = ordering cost

H= Holding Cost

Q_{opt} = \sqrt{\frac{2*70,000*80}{.75}}

Q_{opt} =3,864.37

It will order 3,865 booklets

<u>How to Remember:</u>

Demand per year and order cost goes in the dividend.

Holding cost goes in the divisor.

The price of the stock at the beginning of 2018 was $56.81 and you sold the stock at $68.14 at the end of the year. What is the
Airida [17]

Question Completion:

The total dividends paid is $1,743,400 and the outstanding shares are 1,300,000.

Answer:

a. The dividend per share = $1.34

b. The dividend yield = 1.97%

c. The capital gain = $11.33

d. The total percentage return = 22.3%.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Dividends paid = $1,743,400

Outstanding shares = 1,300,000

Dividends per share = $1.34 ($1,743,400/1,300,000)

Dividend yield = Dividend per share/Stock price

= $1.34/$68.14 = 1.97%

Capital gain = $11.33 ($68.14 - $56.81)

Total return = $12.67 ($11.33 + $1.34)

Total percentage return = Total return/Beginning Stock Price * 100

= $12.67/$56.81 * 100

= 22.3%
