Assume just for this question that the portfolios have identical betas, but one has high investment-specific risk (standard devi

ation) and the other has low investment-specific risk (standard deviation). Should those portfolios have identical returns? Explain.

It’s a standard deviation the portfolios are in investment as the betas as work on them .I hope this helps .

You are an accounting student at a university and also a talented guitar player. During summer vacation, you are hired full time

Travka [436]

Considering the scenario described above, at the store, I am an employee. This is because I'm hired full-time.

Also, because an office manager is supervising me, that shows I am an employee.

Also, given that I work within normal business hours at the store, that is a characteristic of an employee. Again, payment of wages is associated with employee relations.

On the other hand, I work as an independent contractor at the pub because I decide the music to play and get paid per gig.

Also, given that I don't work at normal hours and get paid at a lump sum, this is an independent contractor working feature.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that I worked as an independent contractor at the pub and an employee at the store.

You bought one of Great White Shark Repellant Co.’s 5.8 percent coupon bonds one year ago for $1,030. These bonds make annual pa

defon

Answer:

total rate of return on the Bond = 9.40%

Explanation:

given data

coupon bonds = 5.8%

bonds price = $1,030

maturity time = 14 year

required return on the bonds = 5.1 percent

solution

we know here market price of the bond is Present Value of Coupon Payments + Present face Value

so that face Valueof bond = $1,000

and here annual Coupon Amount will be

annual coupon amount = $1000 × 5.80%

annual coupon amount = $58

and here Market Price of the Bond will be

Market Price of Bond = Present Value of Coupon Payments + Present face Value ......................1

here Present Value of Coupon Payments at PVIFA 5.10% and 14 Years

Present Value Annuity Inflow Factor (PVIFA) = $\frac{1-(1/(1+r)^t}{r}$ ....2

Present Value Annuity Inflow Factor = $\frac{1-(1/(1+0.0510)^14}{0.0510}$

Present Value Annuity Inflow Factor = 9.83566

and

Present Value Inflow Factor (PVIF) 5.10%, 14 Years= $\frac{1}{(1+r)^t}$ ...........3

Present Value Inflow Factor (PVIF) = $\frac{1}{(1+0.0510)^14}$

Present Value Inflow Factor = 0.49838

so

Market Price of Bond = ( $58 × 9.83566 ) + ( $1,000 × 0.49838 )

Market Price of Bond = $1,068.85

so total rate of return on the Bond will be

total rate of return on the Bond = [ { Annual Coupon Amount + ( Change in Bond Price ) } ÷ Current Price] ...............4

total rate of return on the Bond = $\frac{58+(1068.85-1030)}{1030}$

total rate of return on the Bond = 9.40%

The Carter Corporation makes products A and B in a joint process from a single input, R. During a typical production run, 50,000

klemol [59]

Answer: $54,000 per production run

Explanation:

As we are dealing with the decision of whether or not to process the good further, the irrelevant cost would be the cost of producing product B from input R.

This is because this cost has already been incurred to produce product B and so is a sunk cost. Sunk costs are irrelevant to the decision to process further.

30,000 units of B were made from 90,000 units R so the cost of B is:

= 30,000 / 50,000 * 90,000

= $54,000

Suppose that borrowing is restricted so that the zero-beta version of the CAPM holds. The expected return on the market portfoli

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

The expected return on a portfolio is 14.30%

Explanation:

CAPM : It is used to described the risk of various types of securities which is invested to get a better return. Mainly it is deals in financial assets.

For computing the expected rate of return of a portfolio , the following formula is used which is shown below:

Under the Capital Asset Pricing Model, The expected rate of return is equals to

= Risk free rate + Beta × (Market portfolio risk of return - risk free rate)

= 8% + 0.7 × (17% - 8%)

= 8% + 0.7 × 9%

= 8% + 6.3%

= 14.30%

The risk free rate is also known as zero beta portfolio so we use the value in risk free rate also.

Hence, the expected return on a portfolio is 14.30%
