Your portfolio consists of $50,000 invested in Stock X and $50,000 invested in Stock Y. Both stocks have an expected return of 1

5%, betas of 1.6, and standard deviations of 30%. The returns of the two stocks are independent, so the correlation coefficient between them, rXY, is zero. Which of the following statements best describes the characteristics of your 2-stock portfolio?
a. Your portfolio has a beta greater than 1.6, and its expected return is greater than 15%.b. Your portfolio has a beta equal to 1.6, and its expected return is 15%.c.

Answer:

b. Your portfolio has a beta equal to 1.6, and its expected return is 15%

Explanation:

when a portfolio is given, there exist the posibility to agregate the different calculations made, this is possible using the weights of the different assets whose are part of the portfolio, so in this specifinx example the beta portfolios is calculated as  1.6*50%+1.6*50%=1.6 and the expected return is calculated using the same logic 15%*50%+15%*50%. it does not apply for deviation of the portfolio, at this point is important to see that as there is not correlation coeficient, so there will no be calculated the covariance, so at the end the standar deviation aggregated is 0%

Your Godmother left you an inheritance of ​$100,000​, payable to you when you turn 26 years old. You are now 21.​ Currently, the
KIM [24]

Answer:

The offer should be accepted

Explanation:

It is known that the amount $100,000 will be paid to someone when he turns 26 years. The current age is 21 years.

the 5-years bond is given 3.1 percent of interest rate.

another option for the person is offered $103,021.02 right away which is the present value.

The present value of the $100,000 that is going to be received after 5 years is calculated as follows;

Present value =  Amount to be received /(1+interest rate/100)^t

                        = 100,000/(1+ 3.1/100)⁵

                         = 100,000/ 1.031⁵

                         = $85,843.35

Therefore, the present value is $85,843.35 for the amount $100,000 to be receive after five years.

Since the amount  $103,012.02 he was offered is greater than the present value of his inheritance after 5-years, the person should accept the offer  and forget about the inheritance of $100,000.

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:$19500

Explanation:

The provision for doubtful debts accounts is an account that shows the amount of estimated debts that are expected to go bad at the end of the year. The estimated amount at the end of a year is debited to income account, credited to debtors account and left as a credit balance on the provision for doubtful debts accounts.

If at the end of a new year a new estimate is made which differs from the current estimated figure, then the account is adjusted to show the entire new estimate and that is why the answer to the question is 3% of $650,000 = $19,500.
