Answer:

a. Amount to invest in Y

The amount that will be invested in Stock Y should be such that the expected return of the portfolio would equal 12.1%.

This would be determined by the weights of the stock.

Assume the weight to be invested in X is x.

Portfolio return = (weight of X * Return of X) + (weight of Y * Return of Y)

12.1% = (x * 10.28%) + ( (1 - x) * 7.52%)

0.121 = 0.1028x + 0.0752 - 0.0752x

0.121 - 0.0752 = 0.1028x - 0.0752x

0.0458 = 0.0276x

x = 0.0458 / 0.0276

= 1.6594

Weight in stock Y:

= 1 - 1.6594

= -0.6594

Amount to invest in Y:

= -0.6594 * 100,000

= -$65,940

b. Portfolio beta

It will be a weighted average of the betas of the two stocks:

= (Weight of stock X * Stock X Beta) + ( Weight of stock Y * Stock Y beta)

= (1.6594 * 1.20) + (-0.6594 * 0.80)

= 1.46

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each machine can process 100 customers per day. One machine will result in a fixed cost of $2,100 per day, while two machines will result in a fixed cost of $3,900 per day. Variable costs will be $17 per customer, and revenue will be $45 per customer.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

<u>1 machine:</u>

Break-even point in units= 2,100/ (45 - 17)

Break-even point in units= 75 costumers

<u>2 machines:</u>

Break-even point in units= 3,900/ 28

Break-even point in units= 139 costumers

If the demand is from 90 to 120 costumers per day, the company should buy 1 machine. <u>With this level of demand, the company will not cover the costs of two machines. </u>

Rankin Corp. common stock is priced at $74.20 per share. The company just paid its $1.10 quarterly dividend. Interest rates are
Luda [366]

Answer:

The answer is $0.12 gain

Explanation:

We will be obtaining the no-arbitrage premium of the corresponding put as dictated by put-call parity, as follows: V P (0, K = 70, T = 0.5) = V C (K = 70, T = 0.5) + e rt K S(0) + P V 0,T (Dividends)

= 6.50 + exponential (0.03 70 74.20) + e (0.06 0.25 1.10) + e (0.06 0.5 1.10)

= 67.70 + 0.97 70 + 0.98 1.10 + 0.97 1.10

= 67.70 + 68.97 + 1.08 = 2.38.

Since we have decided to short the call at a premium higher by $0.12, the answer is $0.12 gain.

Thank you.
