A measure of risk-adjusted performance that is often used is the Sharpe ratio. The Sharpe ratio is calculated as the risk premiu

m of an asset divided by its standard deviation. The standard deviations and returns of the funds over the past 10 years are listed here. Calculate the Sharpe ratio for each of these funds. Assume that the expected return and standard deviation of the company stock will be 16 percent and 58 percent. Calculate the Sharpe ratio for the company stock. How appropriate is the Sharpe ratio for these assets? When would you use the Sharpe ratio?
10-YEAR ANNUAL RETURN STANDARD DEVIATION
Bledsoe S&P 500 Index Fund 10.15% 23.85%
Bledsoe Small Cap Fund 14.83 29.62
Bledsoe Large Company Stock Fund 11.08 26.13

Answer:

Explanation:

Sharpe ratio is the measure of the excess return per unit of risk in an investment asset or trading strategy.

To calculate the Sharpe of the following annual return using the formula:

Sharpe ratio = \dfrac{R_p-R_f}{\sigma _p}

where;

R_p = return of portfolio asset

From the given information, the risk-free rate R_f wasn't given, So let's assume that the risk-free rate  R_f = 3.2%

∴

For Bledsoe S&P 500 Index fund

Sharpe Ratio = \dfrac{10.15\%-3.2\%}{23.85\%}

= 0.2914

Small-cap Funs Sharpe Ratio = \dfrac{14.83\%-3.2\%}{29.62\%}

= 0.3926

Large company stock Fund Sharpe Ratio = \dfrac{11.08\%-3.2\%}{26.13\%}

= 0.3016

Bond Fund Sharpe Ratio = \dfrac{8.15\%-3.2\%}{26.13\%}

= 0.1894

                          10-Year                    Standard       Sharpe Ratio

                           Annual Return        deviation

Bledsoe S&P -      10.15%                    23.85%           0.2914    

500 Index fund

Small Cap Fund     14.83%                  29.62%           0.3926

Large Company -   11.08%                       26.13%         0.3016

Stock Fund      

Bond Fund              8.15%                        10.34%          0.1894      

As depicted in the table above, the small-cap fund has the highest return per unit of risk, and company stock has the lowest return per unit of risk.

The ratio is clearly appropriate for the index funds. The whole risk is reflected by the Sharpe ratio, which is believed to be completely diversified, and systemic risk is reduced.

It is good for other stock funds since the overall risk is crucial for small investors who cannot readily diversify.

It is also acceptable to invest in bond funds since we may compare their Sharpe ratio to stock funds and take a financial investment decision.

We would take and make use of the Sharpe ratio when:

  • Comparing various assets with differing risks, then the Sharpe ratio would be applied to alter the "unit."
  • We are concerned about any type of volatility.

Assume that there is a 25 percent reserve ratio and that the Federal Reserve buys $4 billion worth of government securities. If
timofeeve [1]

Answer: $16 billion, and also by $16 billion if the securities are purchased directly from commercial banks

Explanation:

Since we are given a 25% reserve ratio, then the money multiplier will therefore be:

= 1/25%

= 1/0.25

= 4.

Therefore, the money supply will be increased to (4 billion × 4) = 16 billion.

Therefore, the answer is "$16 billion, and also by $16 billion if the securities are purchased directly from commercial banks".

On January 2, 2020, Howdy Doody Corporation purchased 12% of Ranger Corporation's common stock for $50,000. Ranger's net income
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

The Total amount shown in income statement as income from this investment is $ 27,200.00

Explanation:

In order to calculate the effect of this investment on the 2021 income statement we would have to make the following calculation:

effect of this investment on the 2021 income statement= Dividend received by Howdy Doody corporation+Increase in Fair value of Stock credited to income statement

Dividend received by Howdy Doody corporation=$60,000 x 12%= $7,200.00

Increase in Fair value of Stock credited to income statement=$70,000-$50,000=$ 20,000.00

Therefore, effect of this investment on the 2021 income statement= $7,200.00 +$ 20,000.00 =$27,200

The Total amount shown in income statement as income from this investment is $ 27,200.00

Becky Knauer recently resigned from her position as controller for Shamalay Automotive, a small, struggling foreign car dealer i
andre [41]

Answer:

1. The ethical issue here is that Becky Knauer's new boss usually bribes the sales manager of a car dealership to get more quota of cars. He is doing this because the car is in high demand. The higher his quota, the higher the number of cars. The higher the number of cars, the more of them he can sell. The more he can sell, the higher the profits.

Here is the dilemma.  

First, the action of Becky's boss is wrong, but it is also helping to keep the business afloat thus translating to securing her job and probably sustaining the pay she is receiving. We know this because Becky's former employer who receives just 25 cars a month is not very profitable.  

Becky as the Controller, however, is in charge of Compliance. The actions of her boss are unethical. She has to flag such issues and report to him.

Franz is the owner of the dealership and is on the top of the 'food chain'. There is no one else within the organisational structure to report the matter to. He is supposed to lead by example. He, as the owner of the organisation, however, is leading with a bad example because other sales personnel know about these shady transactions.

2.  Becky's options are as follows:

A. If she is too scared to confront her boss, she can decide to resign. She would have lost her job. There is no guarantee she will get another and the unethical practices will continue.

B. She can raise the issue with her boss and point out the dangers of continuing in such practice. By doing this, she is ruling out the possibility that he somehow is unaware of the dangers of his actions. In raising the matter with her boss, she must do this in black and white.

The above decision can go either left or right.  

Right means that her boss comes to understand the import of his actions and makes amends. Left means, he gets jittery and fires her.

3. As stated above, Franz may fire Becky if she flags his actions.

If this happens, she can take the matter to the State of New Jersy Motor Commission and possibly sue Franz for wrongful dismissal.      

Cheers!
