Answer:

Variance of the return = 0.01983

Explanation:

S^{2}= Σ(X-X)^{2}/ N - 1

Mean return = 17.88% + -5.16% + 20.39% = 11.0367%  

Variance = [(17.88% - 11.0367%)2 + (-5.16% - 11.0367%)2 + (20.39% - 11.0367%)2] /(3 - 1)

Variance = [0.004683 + 0.026233 + 0.008748]/2

Variance = 0.01983

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

22.38%

Explanation:

Raven corporation has just gone public

They received $15.90 for each 25 million shares that was sold

The first step is to calculate the net amount raised

Net amount that was raised= 15.90×25,000,000 = 397,500,000

397,500,000-860,000-330,000

= 396,310,000

Underwriter spread= 17.50-15.90

= 1.6 per shares

Total underwriter spread= per share spread× number of shares that were offered

= 1.6×25,000,000

= 40,000,000

Total direct costs= 40,000,000+860,000

=40,860,000

Indirect flotation cost= indirect cost+price appreciation

= 330,000+(19.40-17.50)×25,000,000

= 330,000+1.9×25,000,000

=330,000+47,500,000

= 47,830,000

Total flotation cost= 47,830,000+40,860,000

= 88,690,000

Therefore, the flotation cost as a percentage of funds raised can be calculated as follows

= 88,690,000/396,310,000 × 100

= 0.2238×100

= 22.38%

Hence the flotation costs as a percentage of funds raised is 22.38%

DerKrebs [107]

Solution :

13. Net income = total assets x ROA

                   = $ 1,000,000 x 12%

                  = $ 120,000

Net Income for company is $120,000.

Net Profit margin = 4.25%

Total sales = net income / net profit margin

                  = $ 120,000 / 4.25%

                  = $ 2,823,529

Total sales for company is $ 2,823,529

14. Debt ratio = 72%

   So weight of debt = 72%

   Weight of equity = 1 - 72%

                                = 28%

   Debt equity ratio  $=\frac{72 \%}{28 \%}$  

                                 =  2.57

   Debt equity ratio is 2.57

15. Debt ratio = 42.50%

So, weight of debt = 42.50%

Weight of equity = 1 - 42.50%

                             = 57.50%

Weight of equity is 57.50%.

Return on equity = 15%.

Return on assets = 57.50% × 15%

                            = 8.625%

Return on assets is 8.625%.

16.

Debt Equity ratio = 1.45

Weight of debt = 59.18%

Weight of equity = 40.82%

Return on assets = 16%

Return on equity = 16% / 40.82%

                              = 39.20%

Return on equity is 39.20%.

17.

Total Assets turnover = Sales / Total Assets

                                     = (Net Income / Total Assets) / (Net Income / Sales)

                                    = ROA / Net Profit margin

                                      = 7.50% / 15%

                                      = 0.50

Total Assets turnover is 0.50.

Explanation:

The beta of the portfolio is defined as an average of the betas (β) of each asset within the portfolio weighted by their respective invested amounts (A):

A_{P}* \beta_{P} =A_{B}* \beta_{B} +A_{D}* \beta_{D} +A_{F}* \beta_{F} \\\beta_{P} =\frac{20,000 * 1.5 + 50,000*2.0 +30,000*0.5}{100,000}\\\beta_{P} = 1.45

The beta of the portfolio is 1.45
