ed return of 12.1 percent. Stock X has an expected return of 10.28 percent and a beta of 1.20, and Stock Y has an expected return of 7.52 percent and a beta of .80.
a. How much money will you invest in Stock Y? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
b. What is the beta of your portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 3 decimal places, e.g., 32.161.)

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

Dunstreet's department store would like to develop an inventory ordering policy of a 95 percent probability of not stocking out.
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

219 sheets

Explanation:

D = 5000 per year,

d = daily demand = 5000/365 = 13.70 sheets

T = time between orders (review) = 14 days

L = Lead time = 10 days

σd= Standard deviation of daily demand = 5 per day

I = Current Inventory = 150 sheets Service Level

P = 95% (Probability of not stocking out) q=d(L+D)z σ T+L-1

σ T+L-1= square root (T+L)=5 square root 14+10= 24.495

From Standard normal distribution, z = 1.64 for 95% Service Level (or 5% Stock out)

q=13.70*(14+10)+1.64(24.495)-150

= 218.97 →219 sheets

Suppose you hold a particular investment for 7 months. You calculate that your holding period return is 8.4 percent. What is you
Leni [432]

Answer:

The annualized return is 14.82%

Explanation:

The formula for annualized return is given as Annualized return = (1+ holding return)12/n - 1

Holding return is 8.4%

n is the holding period of 7 months

Annualized return =(1+0.084)^(12/7)-1

Annualized return =14.82%

It is wrong to simply calculate annualized return as 8,4%*12/7,which means one is taking the interest to annual interest by proportional method,as this gives 14.40%, in investment every basis point counts.

The difference between the two figures is 0.42% which could translate into millions depending on the amount invested as well as the duration of investment
