Answer:
E) None of the choices are correct.
<em>18.289,26</em>
<em>As we given an option with two decimals which are different from the calculated amount we should take it as incorrect. </em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
The municipal bonds are tax free. Therfore, not included.
We will calcuatae based on 2019 income tax brackets for single-taxers
between $82,501 to $157,500 the amount is $14,089.50 + 24% of the amount over 78,950
100,000 - 82,501 = 17,499
17,499 x 24% = 4,199.76
14,089.50 + 4,199.76 =<em> 18.289,26</em>
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "C": full-time job that one could have gotten instead of going to college.
Explanation:
Opportunity costs can be defined as the return of the chosen option compared to the options forgone. Opportunity costs represent also the return of the best next available option after the option selected. Opportunity costs can be positive or negative which implies the option chosen was not the most optimal.
In this case,<em> the opportunity cost of going to college after finishing school is represented by starting to work in a full-time job to earn money.</em>
Answer:
1.15
Explanation:
If investment is made in equal proportions, it means that;
weight in risk free ; wRF = 33.33% or 0.3333
Let the stocks be A and B
weight in stock A ; wA = 33.33% or 0.3333
weight in stock B; wB = 33.33% or 0.3333
Beta of A; bA = 1.85
Let the beta of the other stock be represented by "bB"
Beta of risk free; bRF = 0
Beta of portfolio = 1 since it is mentioned that "the total portfolio is equally as risky as the market "
The weight of portfolio is equal to the sum of the weighted average beta of the three assets. The formula is as follows;
wP = wAbA + wBbB + wRF bRF
1 = (0.3333 * 1.85) + (0.3333*bB) + (0.3333 *0)
1 = 0.6166 +0.3333bB + 0
1 - 0.6166 = 0.3333bB
0.3834 = 0.3333bB
Next, divide both sides by 0.3333 to solve for bB;
bB = 0.3834/0.3333
w=bB = 1.15
Therefore, the beta for the other stock would be 1.15
Answer:
unsolicited trade
Explanation:
In this scenario, the trade that was made would be considered an unsolicited trade. This is mainly due to the customer having called the representative telling him to place the trade and buy the 100 shares of ABC stock. Therefore, this trade was ultimately the idea of the investor (customer) in this scenario and not the representative's idea. That would make this trade fall into the category of an unsolicited trade. If the idea was initially the representative's and he was the one to mention the trade to the client then it would have been a solicited trade, but this is not the case.
Answer:
The trader exercises the option and loses money on the trade if the stock price is between $30 and $33 at option maturity.
Explanation:
A call option is the right to buy an asset at an agreed price on the maturity date. This agreed price is known as the strike price.
In the given scenario, the strike price is $30. The trader pays an additional $3 for the right to exercise the option, thus paying a total of $33 for the option.
Now, if the asset price on maturity date is greater than $30, the trader shall exercise the option and buy the asset. This is because the market price of the asset is greater than the price the trader pays for it, resulting in a favorable situation for the trader.
However, the trader paid a total of $33 for the stock. Hence, the trader shall lose money on the trade as long as the asset price is below $33.
Therefore, if the asset price upon maturity is between $30 and $33, the trader shall exercise the option but lose money on the trade.
