Answer:
a. $880.74
b. 13 years
Explanation:
a. Conversion ratio = Current Value of bond / Conversion price = 1,000 / 93.4 = 10.71
Conversion price of bond = 10.71 × 28.60 = $306.31
Coupon = Par value of bond * Coupon rate = $1,000 * 6.4% = $64
Present value of straight debt is calculated below:
Present Value = $64 × [1-(1+7.4%)^-30 / 7.4%] + [$1,000 / (1+7.4%)^30]
= $64*11.93 + $117.46
= $763.28 + $117.46
= $880.74
.
Therefore, the minimum value of bond is $880.74
b. Conversion ratio = 10.71
Current stock price = $28.6
Suppose number of year the stock will take to reach above $1,140 is t.
Conversion value = Current stock price * Conversion ratio*(1+10.8%)^t
$1,140 = $28.6 * 10.71 * (1.108)^t
(1.108)^t = 3.7218
t = 12.8145 year.
t = 13 years
Answer:
a) The expected return of equally weighed portfolio is 14.23%
b) The expected return of equally weighed portfolio is 16.45%, hence Variance = 1.596457%
Explanation:
See workings of a and b attached in a form of spreadsheet.
Answer: Step 1) Find share of market in the Portfolio
(11.5-3.5)x+3.5=6.5
8x=3
x=3/8
x=0.375
=37.5%
SD of market portfolio= 0.375x+0=9.5
x=9.5/0.375
=25.33%
correl = cov / (std 1 * std2)
0.4=COV/0.2533*0.545
COV= 0.2533*0.545*0.4=0.05
cov of 2 assets = b1 * b2 * variance of market
0.05=B1*1*0.2533^2
B of security=0.0032
Capm Model
3.5+0.0032(11.5-3.5)=3.5256% expected return
Explanation:
Step 1) Find the share of market in the portfolio in order to find market SD
Step 2) Find Covariance betweens security and market by using both SDS and correlation
Step 3) Find Beta of Security using Co variance
Step 4) Use the Beta in CAPM model in order to find expected return
Answer:
President Richard NIxon
Explanation:
The President Nixon administration came up with the idea to decentralize power as well as some programs to the state governments of the USA to reduce the pressure on the Federal government in the wake of the continued unrest from the Vietnam war alongside unemployment, etc.
In decentralizing power and programs, the giving of block grants and aids to states ensured the reduction in the dependence of the economy on the federal government and as such states began to take care of problems within it.
Cheers.
Answer:
Agent Armstrong needs to be licensed and appointed in every state in which beneficiaries to whom he markets ABC MA plans are located.
Explanation:
In the given scenario XYZ Agency maintains a website marketing the MA plans with which it has contracts. So they are not in one location.
Clients from multiple states can subscribe to their services via website.
Agent Armstrong follows up with individuals who request more information about ABC MA plans via the website and tries to persuade them to enroll in ABC plans.
Since clients enroll in different locations there is a need for Armstrong to be licensed and appointed in every state in which beneficiaries to whom he markets ABC MA plans are located.
This will satisfy the varying compliance rules that each state of operation may have. Thereby providing seamless service delivery to customers of XYZ agency.
