Answer: Option B  

                       

Explanation: In simple words, diversification refers to the process of allocating capital in different investments to reduce the overall risk of the investment portfolio.

Therefore, analyst tries to make portfolio in such a way that securities will be negatively correlated. If two securities are negatively correlated then the decrease of one will lead to proportionate increase of others.

This ensures that the investors money will not be depreciated but at the same time the potential for abnormal returns also decreases.

(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

(a) The deposit should be <u>$168.06 </u>quarterly.

(a) The deposit should be <u>$145.32 </u>quarterly.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

An investor needs $11,000 in 19 years.

(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough money in the fund?

(b) Find the investors quarterly deposit if the money is deposited at 9.4% compounded quarterly.

The explanations to the answers are now given as follows:

(a) What amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter at 7% compounded quarterly so that there will be enough money in the fund?

Since the amount should be deposited in a fund at the end of each quarter, the formula for calculating the Future Value (FV) of an Ordinary Annuity is used as follows:

FV = M * {[(1 + r)^n - 1] / r} ................................. (1)

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount needed in 19 years = $11,000

M = Quarterly deposit = ?

r = Quarterly interest rate = 7% / 4 = 0.07 / 4 = 0.0175

n = number of quarters the deposits will be made = 11 * 4 = 44

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

11,000 = M * {[(1 + 0.0175)^44 - 1] / 0.0175}

11,000 = M * 65.4531536741798

M = 11,000 / 65.4531536741798

M = $168.06

(b) Find the investors quarterly deposit if the money is deposited at 9.4% compounded quarterly.

We make use of equation (1) in part (a) as follows:

Where,

FV = Future value of the amount needed in 19 years = $11,000

M = Quarterly deposit = ?

r = Quarterly interest rate = 9.4% / 4 = 0.094 / 4 = 0.0235

n = number of quarters the deposits will be made = 11 * 4 = 44

Substituting the values into equation (1) and solve for M, we have:

11,000 = M * {[(1 + 0.0235)^44 - 1] / 0.0235}

11,000 = M * 75.6957891651599

M = 11,000 / 75.6957891651599

M = $145.32
