Answer:
Expected return is: 7.37% and the Standard deviation is: 24.96%
Explanation:
Correlation between fund S&B=0,0667
Standard Deviation of Fund S=41%
Standard Deviation of Fund(B)=30%
E(R) of Stock Fund S=12%
E(R) of Stock Fund B=5%
Covariance between the funds = Standard Deviation of Fund(B) × Standard Deviation of Fund S × correlation between these funds
Cov = 0.41 × 0.30 × 0.0667 = 0.008204
Now minimum variance portfolio is found by applying:
W min(S)=(SDB)^2-Cov(B,S) / ((SDS)^2+(SDB)^2-2Cov(B,S)
W min(S) = 0.338431
W min(B) = 1-0.338431=0.661569
1) E(r)min= 0.338431 × 12% + 0.661569 × 5% = 7.37%
2) Standard Deviation:
SD Min = (Ws^2XSDs^2+Wb^2XSDb^2+2XWsWb*Cov(s,B)^1/2
SDmin=(0.338431^2 × 0.41^2 + 0.661569^2 × 0.3^2 + 2 × 0.338431 × 0.661569 × 0.008204)^1/2
SDmin=24.96%

Answer:
Yield to maturity is 3.94%
Explanation:
Yield to maturity is the annual rate of return that an investor receives if a bond bond is held until the maturity.
Face value = F = $1,000
Coupon payment = $1,000 x 9% = $90/2 = $45 semiannually
Selling price = P = $1080
Number of payment = n = 10 years x 2 = 20
Yield to maturity = [ C + ( F - P ) / n ] / [ (F + P ) / 2 ]
Yield to maturity = [ $45 + ( 1000 - 1080 ) / 20 ] / [ (1,000 + 1080 ) / 2 ]
Yield to maturity = [ $45 - 4 ] / 1040 = $41 /1040 = 0.394 = 3.94%
Answer:
The answer is: The option to buy shares of stock if its price is expected to increase.
Explanation:
A <em>"real option"</em> in management is: a choice managers can take concerning business investment opportunities. <em>Real options</em> usually involve tangible assets (machinery, buildings, inventory, land, etc.) but not financial instruments or stocks.
So the buying or selling of stocks aren´t considered <em>real options</em> in business management.
<span>Credit card has slightly lower interest rate.
Let's take a look at both interest rates for 1 year and see what costs more. First, the credit card at 17% apr compounded monthly.
Each month, 17%/12 interest will be taken. The total interest over the year will be
(1 + 0.17/12)^12 = 1.183891728 times the original debt.
Now let's look at the loan from the parents. Over 1 year, you'll be accumulating 2 interest payments. The formula for the year will be
(1 + 0.09)^2 = 1.1881
Comparing the overall rate between the credit card and the parents, the credit card is slightly lower than the parents.</span>
