Answer:

Option D. Risk premium, is the right answer.

Explanation:

Given the interest or return earned on the T-bill = 1.8 per cent.

The return earned on the investment made in a large company = 5.8 per cent.

Since we know that the difference between the return by the stock market and risk-free return is the risk premium. Below is the formula.

Risk premium = Return from large company (return by the stock market) – return on T bills (risk-free return)

Therefore, the Option D risk premium is correct.

Week 5 Rachel is a financial investor who actively buys and sells in the securities market. Now she has a portfolio of all blue
Ivahew [28]

Answer: The answer is provided below

Explanation:

The weights of assest in Rachel's portfolio: = amount in each stock ÷ sum of the amounts invested in all stocks.

Share Amount Weight

A. 13500. 0.33

B. 7600. 0.18

C. 14700. 0.36

D. 5500. 0.13

Total 41300

Note that weight = amount/total

Geometric average return of a portfolio:

((1+R1)×(1+R2)×(1+R3)....×(1+Rn))^(1/n) - 1

where,

R1= return of period 1

Rn= return in nth period

Hence, the geometric average return of Rachel's portfolio will be:

((1+9.7%)×(1+12.4%)×(1-5.5%)×(1+17.2%))^(1/4) - 1

= 8.10 % (approximately) per year.

Using the nominal rate of return which includes inflation:

CAPM: Required return will be:

= Risk free return + (Risk premium × Beta)

13.6 = Risk free return + (4.8 × 1.5)

13.6 = Risk free return + 7.2

Risk free return = 13.6 - 7.2

= 6.4% which is not inflation adjusted)

The inflation adjusted rate of return will be:

= (1+return)/(1+inflation rate))-1

= ((1+13.6%)/(1+2.7%))-1

= 10.61%

Using CAPM:

10.61= Risk free return + (4.8 × 1.5)

10.61 = Risk free return + 7.2

Risk free return = 10.61 - 7.2

Risk free return = 3.41% (at real rates)

In practice, the use of inflation adjusted return i.e the real rate of return which is 10.61% is better as it puts forth a long term perspective on how a stock is performing.

Cr. Preferred stock, $25 par value                         $31,250

Cr. Paid-in capital excess of par preferred stock  $22,000

Explanation:

1. The Excess of common stock and cash received will be recorded in the Paid in capital in excess of par value, common Stock account.

Common Stock, $20 Par Value = 5,000 shares × $20 per share = $100,000

Paid in capital in excess of par value, common Stock = $120,000 – $100,000 = $20,000

2.The Excess of common stock and cash received will be recorded in the Paid in capital in excess of stated value, common Stock account.

Common stock = $1 x 2,500 = $2,500

Paid-in capital in excess of stated value, common stock = $22,000 - $2,500 = $19,500

4. The Excess of common stock and cash received will be recorded in the Paid in capital in excess of par value, common Stock account.

Preferred Stock, $25 Par Value = 1,250 shares × $25 per share = $31,250

Paid in capital in excess of par value, preferred Stock = $53,250 – $31,250 = $22,000
