Answer:
a. Expected Return = 16.20 %
Standard Deviation = 35.70%
b. Stock A = 22.10%
Stock B = 29.75%
Stock C = 33.15%
T-bills = 15%
Explanation:
a. To calculate the expected return of the portfolio, we simply multiply the Expected return of the stock with the weight of the stock in the portfolio.
Thus, the expected return of the client's portfolio is,
- w1 * r1 + w2 * r2
- 85% * 18% + 15% * 6% = 16.20%
The standard deviation of a portfolio with a risky and risk free asset is equal to the standard deviation of the risky asset multiply by its weightage in the portfolio as the risk free asset like T-bill has zero standard deviation.
b. The investment proportions of the client is equal to his investment in T-bills and risky portfolio. If the risky portfolio investment is considered of the set proportion investment in Stock A, B & C then the 85% investment of the client will be divided in the following proportions,
- Stock A = 85% * 26% = 22.10%
- Stock B = 85% * 35% = 29.75%
- Stock C = 85% * 39% = 33.15%
- T-bills = 15%
- These all add up to make 100%

Answer:
a. The actual unemployment rate was higher during the recession of 1990-1991, but cyclical unemployment was higher in 2001.
Explanation:
Unemployment is defined as the number of people in a population that are willing to work and seeking for jobs but do not have employment.
Natural unemployment is defined as the normal process of leaving jobs and getting jobs in a situation when there is full employment.
Cyclical unemployment is created by recessions and booms.
Actual unemployment = Natural rate + Cyclical rate
Cyclical unemployment= Actual rate - Natural rate
In the first economy
Cyclical rate = 7 - 5.9= 1.1%
In the second economy
Cyclical rate= 6 - 4.8= 1.2%
So actual unemployment was 7% in 1990-1991 while in 2001 it was 6%
Cyclical unemployment was 1.1% in 1990-1991, while cyclical unemployment was 1.2%
Answer:
Net Cash flow in year 4 $46,140<u>
</u>
Explanation:
Cash flow represent the amount of cash revenue less out of pocket cash expenditures. Non-cash related items are not included.
Year 4 cash flow ;
$
Operating cash flow $58,500
Working capital recouped 4,950
Scrap value 6,090
Tax payable (40%*58500) <u>(23400
)</u>
Net Cash flow <u> 46,140
</u>
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
It records the two items i.e
Tax Anticipation Notes Payable = $1,000,000
And, the expenditure is recorded for
= Tax Anticipation Notes Payable × tax rate × number of months ÷ total number of months in a year
= $1,000,000 × 4% × 6 months ÷ 12 months
= $20,000
Both the above items are debited for $1,000,000 and $40,000 respectively
