Answer:

The invisible hand is the metaphor used by the moral philosopher and economist Adam Smith of the social mechanism he theorized that, in the free market, the pursuit of individual self-interest serves the common good, that is, people act as if guided by an "invisible hand".

The invisible hand mechanism requires a few criteria: price, efficiency, market and greed. An individual does high quality work efficiently, resulting in a good and cheap product. He may sell it on the market at a price acceptable to all parties. The buyer receives the commodity they need and the seller / producer receives compensation for their work. In the store, everyone gets what they want.

Before the Enlightenment, pursuing one's own self-interest was considered contrary to the common good. According to Adam Smith, "it is the self-interest of individuals that enables the division of labor to function." In addition, Smith stated that people's aspirations to promote their own economic interests in the best possible way have positive consequences for society as a whole. To this phenomenon, Smith invented the name invisible hand.

klasskru [66]

Answer: 62.5%

Explanation:

Equivalent units = Units completed and transferred out + percentage completed of ending inventory

14,800 = (1,100 + 14,000 - 800) + Percentage

14,800 = 14,300 + Percentage amount completed

Percentage amount completed = 14,800 - 14,300

Percentage amount completed = 500 units

Percentage = Ending equivalent units / ending inventory

= (500/800) * 100

= 62.5%

Suppose you are currently invested 100% in U.S. stocks and you CANNOT short: a.Find the portfolio that maximizes expected return

Volgvan

Answer:

Part a: The portfolio which maximizes the expected return is in the attached file.

Part b:The portfolio's expected rate of return is 11.20% and the weight is 100% for US only.

Explanation:

As the question is incomplete and the data is not available, thus the complete question is found as attached with the solution.

The Sharpe rate is given as

$S_a=\frac{E_a-E_r}{\sigma}$

Where

E_a is the estimated rate of return for a value
E_r is the risk free rate of return
σ is the standard deviation of the investment.

The portfolio variance is given as

$\sigma^2_{portfolio}=\sum_{i}^{n}{\sigma_i^2w_i^2}+\sum_{i}^{n(n-1)/2}{cv_i}$

Where

σ is the standard deviation of the investment.
w is the weighted value of the investment
cv is the covariance term

Portfolio standard deviation is given as

$\sigma_{portfolio}=\sqrt{\sigma^2_{portfolio}}$

Expected rate is given as

$E_{rate of return}=\sum_{i=1}^{n}{E_a_i\times w_i}$

Now the Sharp value is calculated as above.

Now the values as given in the excel sheet are added in the attached excel sheet, following formulas are used to calculate various values

Sharpe ratio is calculated using =(B6-J3)/C6

Portfolio variance is calculated using (=B13^2*C6^2+B14^2*C7^2+B15^2*C8^2+B16^2*C9^2+2*B13*B14*C6*C7*D7+2*B13*B15*C6*C8*D8+2*B13*B16*C6*C9*D9+2*B14*B15*C7*C8*E8+2*B14*B16*C7*C9*E9+2*B15*B16*C8*C9*F9)

Portfolio standard deviation is SQRT(Variance)

Expected return is calculated using =B13*B6+B14*B7+B15*B8+B16*B9

Sharpe is calculated using =(B23-$J$3)/B22

Part a:

The portfolio which maximizes the expected return is in the attached file.

Part b:

The portfolio's expected rate of return is 11.20% and the weight is 100% for US only.

Assume that a 6 percent $500,000 bond with semiannual interest payments and a remaining life of 10 years could be purchased toda

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

I will pay $559,864 for this bond

Explanation:

Coupon payment = $500,000 x 6% = $30,000 annually = $15,000 semiannually

Number of periods = 10 years x 2 = 20 period

Interest Rate = 4.5% = 2.25% semiannually

Price of bond is the present value of future cash flows, to calculate Price of the bond use following formula:

Price of the Bond = C x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + r )^-n ) / r ] + [ F / ( 1 + r )^n ]

Price of the Bond =$15,000 x [ ( 1 - ( 1 + 2.25% )^-20 ) / 2.25% ] + [ $1,000 / ( 1 + 2.25% )^20 ]

Price of the Bond = $15,000 x [ ( 1 - ( 1.0225 )^-20 ) / 0.0225 ] + [ $500,000 / ( 1.0225 )^20 ]

Price of the Bond = $239,455.68 + $320,408.24 = $559,863.92

Price of the Bond = $559,864
