Question (in proper order)

If the simple CAPM is valid and all portfolios are priced correctly, which of the situations below is possible? Consider each situation independently, and assume the risk-free rate is 5%.

Portfolio Expected Return Beta

A 11 % 1.1

Market 11 % 1.0

Portfolio Expected Return Standard Deviation

A 14 % 11 %

Market 9 % 19 %

Portfolio Expected Return Beta

A 14 % 1.1

Market 9 % 1.0

Portfolio Expected Return Beta

A 17.6 % 2.1

Market 11 % 1.0

Option A

Option B

Option C

Option D

Answer and Explanation:

A) As Per CAPM

Expected Return = Risk free rate + Beta × (Market Return - Risk free Rate)

= 5% + 1.1 × (11% - 5%)

= 11.60%

(Portfolio is not correctly Priced)

B) Standard Deviation alone cannot determine expected return using CAPM

C) As Per CAPM

Expected Return = Risk free rate + Beta × (Market Return - Risk free Rate)

= 5% + 1.1 × (9% - 5%) = 9.40%

(Portfolio is not correctly Priced)

D) As Per CAPM

Expected Return = Risk free rate + Beta × (Market Return - Risk free Rate)

= 5% + 2.1 × (11% - 5%) = 17.60%

Required Rate and Expected Return of Portfolio are Same

(Portfolio is correctly Priced)

Option D is correct option

Handy Man, Inc., has zero coupon bonds outstanding that mature in eight years. The bonds have a face value of $1,000 and a curre

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

5.657%

Explanation:

Data provided:

Face value = $1,000

Current market price = $640

Time of maturity, t = 8 year

Now,

the compounding formula is given as:

Face value = Current amount × $(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}$

where,

r is the rate i.e pretax rate of debt

n is the number of times the interest is compounded i.e for semiannual n = 2

thus, on substituting the values, we get

$ 1,000= $ 640 × $(1+\frac{r}{2})^{2\times8}$

1.5625 = $(1+\frac{r}{2})^{16}$

$(1+\frac{r}{2})$ = 1.0282

r = 0.05657

pretax cost of debt = 0.05657 × 100% = 5.657%

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

how much did Pat invest at 10 percent and how much at 8 percent?

2200 10%

800 8%

Explanation:

I=C*%I*T

I=C1*0,08*1+C2*0,10*1

3000=C1+C2

C1=3000-C2

256=(3000-C2)*0,08+C2*0,10

256=240-0,08C2+O,10C2

16=0,02C2

C2=800

C1=2200

I=2200*0,1= 176

I=800*0,08=80

Your accounting manager has decided that a behavioral interview to select accountants will solve many hiring problems. What can

Rashid [163]

Explanation:

A behavioral interview would have been more suitable than an interview even though the applicants use a benchmark from previous experiences. A situational interview is more about the possible actions of the individual in a situation. This might predict what the claimant is going to do in the future in a current situation.

The interviewing line will be focused on the applicant's experience of an past event involving the applicant. As the conversation begins, the line of question will naturally change. Studies have found that execute interviews better determine work performance. This is a useful tool to assess which candidate is best suited for the job.
