A portfolio consists of the following two funds. Fund A Fund B $ Invested $ 12,000 $ 8,000 Weight 60 % 40 % Exp Return 15 % 12 %
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Sharpen Ratio   =            <u>    Rp  - Rf</u>

                         standard deviation of portfolio

                        =    <u>13.8%  - 3.6%</u>

                                     173.11%

                              =   0.05892

                              = 0.059

workings

Return of portfolio   =   Ra*wa  +  Rb*Wb

                            =  15%*0.6  +  12%*0.4  

                           =   9%  +  4.8%  =  13.8%

Standard deviation of portfolio =  square root of variance

= √ stdA²wa² + stadB²wb² + 2wawbcorrAB

= √(24%*0.6)² +(14%*0.4)²  + 2*0.6*0.4*1.27

=  √207.36% + 31.36% + 0.6096

=  √2.9968

= 1.73

=  173.11%

Answer:

NPV =  $20,040.35  

Explanation

The net present value NPV) of a project is the present value of cash inflow less the present value of cash outflow of the project.

NPV = PV of cash inflow - PV of cash outflow

We can set out the cash flows of the project using the table below:

Annual net cash inflow = Savings - Technician cost = 61,427- 20,000

                                       = $41,427

PV of Cash flow= $41,427  × (1-(1.12^(-5))/0.12=  149,335.06  

PV of salvage value = 1.12^(-5)×$6,641 =  3768.281749

NPV = 149,335.06  + 3,768.281  -133,063= 20,040.35
