Assume that you manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 17% and a standard deviation of 27%. The T-bill rate

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

The slope of the CML = (13% - 7%)/25% = 0.24

Explanation:

Given that:

expected rate of return of 17%

standard deviation of 27%.

The T-bill rate is 7%.

You estimate that a passive portfolio invested to mimic the S&P 500 stock index yields an expected rate of return of 13% with a standard deviation of 25%.

The slope of the CML is

Slope of the CML = (Expected return of Market - Risk free return)/Standard deviation of market

The slope of the CML = (13% - 7%)/25% = 0.24

= (0.13 - 0.07) /0.25

= 0.24

Alik [6]

Answer:

Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Jim Angel holds a $200,000 portfolio

Weight of stock-A is as follows:

= Investment of stock A ÷ Total investment

= $50,000 ÷ $200,000

= 0.25

Therefore,

Portfolio beta:

= (0.25 × 1.20) + (0.25 × 0.80) + (0.25 × 1.00) + (0.25 × 1.20)

= 0.3 + 0.2 + 0.25 + 0.3

= 1.05

Therefore, the portfolio's beta is 1.05.

Depreciable value of the asset will be expenses equally every year over 5 years.

Depreciable value = Cost of the asset - Salvage value = $100,000 - $13,000 = $87,000

Depreciation Expense = Depreciable Value / Useful Life of the asset = $87,000 / 5 years = $17,400 per year

As only 5 month have been passed in 2008, the depreciation expense account will be charged as follow

Depreciation charge in 2008 = $17,400 x 5 / 12 = $7,250
