Answer:
Interest rate on the a three year bond =5.5%
Explanation:
one-year bond rate expected = 4%, 5%, 6% for the next three years
liquidity premium on a three year bond = 0.5%
number of years = 3
The interest rate on the a three year bond can be calculated as
= liquidity premium + ( summation of bond rates for the next three years/number of years )
= 0.5 + ( (4+5+6)/3)
= 0.5 + ( 15/3)
= 0.5 + 5 = 5.5%
Answer:
Amount investment in Sock Y = - $126,000
Beta of portfolio = 1.636
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Total amount to be invested = $140,000
Stock X Y
Expected return 14% 10%
Beta 1.42 1.18
Expected return of portfolio = 17.6%
Now,
let the weight invested n stock X be W
therefore,
Weight of Stock Y = 1 - W
thus,
( W × 14% ) + (1 - w) × 10% = 17.6
%
or
14W + 10% - 10W = 17.6%
or
4W = 7.6
or
W = 1.9
Therefore,
weight of Y = 1 - 1.9 = -0.9
Thus,
Amount investment in Sock Y = Total amount to be invested × Weight
= 140,000 × ( - 0.9 )
= - $126,000 i.e short Y
Beta of portfolio = ∑ (Beta × Weight)
= [ 1.42 × 1.9 ] + [ 1.18 × (-0.9) ]
= 2.698 - 1.062
= 1.636
