Answer:

Year          Stock A's Returns (rA)     Stock B's Returns (rB)

2014                   (19.80%)                          (16.10%)

2015                    28.75%                             17.80%      

2016                    14.50%                            30.60%

2017                    (3.00%)                            (8.90%)

2018                    22.75%                            19.80%

a) Calculate the average rate of return for each stock during the period 2014 through 2018.

Average rate of return of each stock will be calculated by taking an aggregate for all the returns of each stock and dividing it by 5, which is the total number of years.

a) The average rate of return for Stock A during the period 2014 through 2015 is given by ,

Average Return = ( -19.80 + 28.75 + 14.50 – 3.00 +22.75)/5 = 8.64%

The average rate of return for Stock b during the period 2014 through 2015 is given by ,

Average Return = ( -16.10 + 17.80 + 30.60 – 8.90 +19.80)/5 = 8.64%

b) Assume that someone held a portfolio consisting of 50% of Stock A and 50% of Stock B. What would the realized rate of return on the portfolio have been each year?

Since the investment in the portfolio created by stock A and stock B is 50-50, we will calculate portfolio return each year by multiplying each return with it's weight in the portfolio (50%) to find out the realized rate of return each year and then take an average to find out the average return of the portfolio during these 5 years

Realized Return for 2014:

= 0.5*(-19.80) + 0.5*(-16.10%) = -17.95%

Realized Return for 2015:

= 0.5*(28.75)+ 0.5*(17.80)= 23.27%

Realized Return for 2016:

= 0.5*(14.50) + 0.5*(30.60) = 22.55%

Realized Return for 2017:

= 0.5*(-3.0) + 0.5*(-8.90) = -5.95%

Realized Return for 2018:

= 0.5*(22.75)+ 0.5*(19.8) = 21.27%

The average return on the portfolio have been during this period is given by ,

Realized Rate of Return = ( - 17.95%  + 23.27%  + 22.55%  - 5.95% + 21.27% )/5 = 8.638%

trasher [3.6K]

Based on the information given  the gain or loss if the asset was sold on March 31, 2024 is $6,000 gain.

Depreciation per units= (Original cost - Residual value) ÷ (Estimated production units)

Depreciation per units= ($78,000 - $13,000) ÷ 20,000 units

Depreciation per units= $65,000 ÷ 20,000 units

Depreciation per units= $3.25 per units

Accumulated depreciation=(500 units × $3.25)+( 3,000 units × $3.25)+(3,500 units × $3.25)+( 1,000 units × $3.25)

Accumulated depreciation= $1,625 + $9,750 + $11,375 + $3,250

Accumulated depreciation= $26,000

Book value= Acquired value of an asset - Accumulated depreciation  

Book value= $78,000 - $26,000

Book value= $52,000

Gain or Loss= Sale value - Book value

Gain or Loss= $58,000 - $52,000

Gain or Loss= $6,000 gain

Inconclusion the gain or loss if the asset was sold on March 31, 2024 is $6,000 gain.

Assume that Juanita is indifferent between investing in a corporate bond that pays 12.00 percent interest and a stock with no gr
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

Juanita's marginal tax rate is 42.5%

Explanation:

marginal tax rate = MTR

After tax yield of dividend paying stock is 8.1% * (1-0.15) = 0.069 = 6.9%

The after tax yield of the bond will be 6.9%

Therefore,

6.9% = 12.0% * (1 - MTR)

6.9% = 12.0% - 12.0% *MTR

6.9% - 12.0% = -12.0% * MTR

-0.051 = -0.12*MTR

MTR = 0.051/0.12 = 0.425

MTR = 42.5%
