Answer:
A.) ALPHA
Portfolio A = 8.5%
Portflio B = 13.5%
B.) Sharpe measure
Portfolio A = 0.1519
Portflio B = 0.1479
Explanation:
T- bill rate (Rf) =5%
S&P 500 index ( Rm) = 10%
Portfolio A;
Expected rate of return = 9.1%
Beta (B) = 0.7
Standard deviation (s) = 27%
Portfolio B;
Expected rate of return = 12.1%
Beta (B) = 1.7
Standard deviation = 48%
Required rate of return for both portfolios;
Rf + B × (Rm - Rf)
Portfolio A :
5% + 0.7 ×(10% - 5%) = 5% + 0.7 × (5%)
5% + 3.5% = 8.5%
Portfolio B :
5% + 1.7 ×(10% - 5%) = 5% + 1.7 × (5%)
5% + 8.5% = 13.5%
A) Alpha(A) of Portfolio A and B ;
A = Expected return - Required return
Alpha of portfolio A :
9.1% - 8.5% = 0.6%
Alpha of Portfolio B:
12.1% - 13.5% = - 1.4%
B.) Sharpe measure for portfolio A and B;
Sharpe ratio = (Expected rate of return - Rf) / s
Portfolio A = (9.1% - 5%)/27% = 0.1519
Portfolio B = (12.1% - 5%)/48% = 0.1479
I will choose Portfolio A
Answer:
5.79 times
Explanation:
The times interest earned ratio tells us the number of times the company's made earnings in multiple of its debt interest obligation.
The formula for times earned interest ratio is the income before interest and taxes divided by the interest expense.
income before tax is $302,634
income before interest and taxes= $302,634+$63,228=$365,862.00
times interest earned ratio=$365,862.00/
$63,228= 5.79 times
Answer:

b. In his opinion the soldiers fought for freedom, equality and human rights.
Explanation:
The Gettysburg address was a short speech made by Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863 at the official dedication ceremony in Pennsylvania at the site of the battle field after the civil war. It was a declaration of freedom and independence and further cemented the soldiers sacrifice for equality and human rights.
He honored the battles by reiterating that the sacrifice made by the soldiers will not be in vain. This he does by saying that the soldiers themselves whether alive or dead have already consecrated the ground of battle and no further addition or detraction is needed. This meant that the battles itself was proof enough that the nation was ready for independence and justice.
Additionally, he also stated that the soldiers fought for freedom and the government for the people, by the people and of the people. This in other words means that the soldiers fought for democracy, where everyone is equal under the law. That equality and justice is the foundation upon which this newly independent nation has been built.
