Answer:

The portfolio SD is A. 20.65%

Explanation:

The standard deviation tells the total risk (both systematic and unsystematic) associated with a stock or a portfolio. The portfolio risk or the standard deviation of portfolio can be calculated using the following formula as attached in the picture below.

Using this formula, the standard deviation of the portfolio is:

SDp = √(0.3)² * (0.2)² + (0.7)² * (0.25)² + 2 * (0.3)*(0.7) * 0.4 * (0.2)*(0.25)

Portfolio SD = 0.20645 or 20.645% rounded off to 20.65%

Farmco just paid its annual dividend of $.32 per share. The dividends are expected to grow at 25 percent annually for the next 4

vitfil [10]

Answer:

$5.73(Approx).

Explanation:

Given:

= 0.32

Growth rate = 25% = 0.25

Number of year = 4

Growth rate after 4 year = 3% = 0.03

Required rate of return = 15% = 0.15

Computation of divined in 4 year:

$Annual\ dividend\ paid(1+growth\ rate)^n\\\\0.32(1+0.25)^4\\\\0.32(1.25)^4\\\\0.32(2.44140625)\\\\0.78125$

Price of stock after year 4 = [Divined in 4 year × (1 + new growth)] /[Required rate of return - Growth rate after 4 year ]

Price of stock after year 4 = [0.78125 × (1+0.03)] / [0.15 - 0.03]

Price of stock after year 4 = [0.8046875] / [0.12]

Price of stock after year 4 = $6.70572917

Present value = Future value / $(1+r)^n$

Present value = $6.70572917 / $(1.15)^4$

Present value = $6.70572917 / $(1.16985856)$

$5.73(Approx).

yarga [219]

Answer:

0.76

Explanation:

So, in this particular question we are given that that there are two assets which are the; [1]. stock fund and [2]. a long-term government and corporate bond fund.

From the question/problem, we have that the Expected ret and the std. dev. for the Stock fund is 18% and 25% respectively. Also, the Expected ret and std. dev. for Bond fund 11% and 18% respectively.

Thus, the investment proportion in the minimum variance portfolio of the bond fund = 1 - [ ( 18%)² - 0.4 × 25% × 18%) ÷ ( 25%)² + (18%)² - 2 × 0.4 × 25% × 18%. = 1 - [0.0144 ÷ 0.0609 ] = 1 - 0.24 = 0.76.
