Answer:

Portfolio B has a higher return but more volatile stocks. However it depends on how the individual can tolerate risks.

Explanation:

Expected return= free return + Beta (Expected rate of return – risk free rate)

Portfolio A

6%+ +.8*6%

= 6%+4.8%= 10.8%

Portfolio B

6%+1.5(6%)

6%+9%= 15%

It depends on different factors. Portfolio B has a higher return but more volatile stocks. However it depends on how the individual can tolerate risks.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

X=97.24

Explanation:

PV = Present Value = X+2000 by the 16th years

PMT = Payments = $100

FV = Future Value = 2000 at the end of 16 years

n= number of years

Applying the equation of future value for annuity

FV = pmt* ​((1+r)ⁿ - 1   )/r

Inputting the values;

2000=100*((1+r)¹⁶-1)/r

Solving for r, gives r = 2.9%

Therefore using the formula for PV for annuity;

PV=PMT*(1-(1/1+r)/r)

X=100*(1-(1/1.029)/0.029

X=100*((1-0.9718)/0.029)

X=100*(0.0282/0.029)

X=97.24
