Answer: d. decrease the market price

Explanation:

Interest rates and the prices of bonds are negatively correlated as one increasing means that the other is decreasing.

The reason is this: when market interest rates rise, investors will move away from bonds to other investments because bonds offer a fixed payment and so will be less attractive than other investments which would be offering higher returns based on the higher market rates.

The drop in demand for bonds will lead to their prices falling as per the rules of demand and supply.

Jon's total revenue = Amount of fees per person × Number of persons

Let plug in the formula

Jon total opportunity costs = $92,000 + (1.5%×$200,000)

Jon total opportunity costs = $92,000 +$3,000 Jon total opportunity costs=$95,000.

You want to invest $50,000 in a portfolio with a beta of no more than 1.4 and an expected return of 12.4%. Bay Corp. has a beta
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Assume the weight to be invested in Bay Corp is x. That means (1 - x) will be the weight for City Inc. The expression for the expected return will be;

(x * 11.2%) + ( (1 - x) * 14.8%) = 12.4%

0.112x + 0.148 - 0.148x = 0.124

-0.036x = -0.024

x = 0.67

Portfolio beta is;

= 0.67 * 1.2 + ( 1 - 0.67) * 1.8

= 1.398 so beta condition is satisfied.

Amount in Bay Corp.;

= 0.67 * 50,000

= $33,500

Amount in City Inc.;

= 50,000 - 33,500

= $16,500

Yanka [14]

Answer: Option  C  

       

Explanation: The given question relates to the concept of time value of money which in simple words states that the value of money decreases over time. The value of a dollar today will be less than tomorrow.

Hence if a card holder gets grace period to pay the interest before the interest accrues than it means he actually gets to pay lower interest that he could have paid before.

Hence from the above we can conclude that the correct option is C.

You have $11,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock X with an expected return of 15 percent and Stock Y with
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

  • Invest $8,470 in X
  • Invest $2,530 in Y.

Explanation:

The following expressions can be formed;

Let x and y be the proportions

x + y = 1

0.15x + 0.1y = 13.85%

Expressing y in terms of x;

x + y = 1

y = 100 - x

0.15x + 0.1 ( 1 - x) = 13.85%

0.15x + 0.1 - 0.1x = 13.85%

0.05x = 13.85% - 0.1

x = 13.85%0.05 - 0.1/0.05

x = 77%

Invest 77% in X = 77% * 11,000

= $8,470‬

Invest in Y

= 11,000 - 8,470

= $2,530
