Suppose you can only invest in the stock markets of two countries: US and China. The US has an expected return of 5.0% and a sta

ndard deviation of 15.0%. China has an expected return of 7.0% and a standard deviation of 22.0%. The correlation between the returns in the two markets is 0.3. The risk-free rate is 3.0%. What is the maximum Sharpe ratio you can obtain (rounded to the nearest 0.001)

Answer:

The maximum Sharpe ratio you can obtain is 0.182.

Explanation:

Sharpe ratio = (Stock's expected return - Risk-free rate) / Standard Deviation …………… (1)

Therefore, we have:

Sharpe ratio of the US stock market = (5.0% - 3.0%) / 15.0% = 0.133

Sharpe ratio of China stock market = (7.0% - 3.0%) / 22.0% = 0.182

Since you can only invest in the stock markets of US and China, and the Sharpe ratio of China stock market of 0.182 is greater than the Sharpe ratio of the stock market of 0.133, this implies that the maximum Sharpe ratio you can obtain is 0.182.

Determine the single plantwide factory overhead rate, using each of the following allocation bases: (a) direct labor hours and (
Fofino [41]

Answer and Explanation:

1.

The direct labor overhead rate using the direct labor hours is shown below:-

Direct labor overhead rate = Total overheads ÷ Direct labor hours

= $220,800 ÷ 1,725

= $128

b. The machine hour overhead rate using the machine hours is

= Total overhead ÷ Machine hours

= $220,800 ÷ 4,600

= $48

2.

The factory overhead costs using direct labor hour is

Particulars             Automobile       Valve        Wheels        Total

                                bumpers           covers

Direct labor            

hours                        730                 480                515

Overhead rate         $128               $128              $128

Total                        $ 93,440        $61,440        $65,920     $220,800

For determining the total overhead we simply multiply the direct labor hours with overhead rate.

The factory overhead costs using machine hour is

Particulars             Automobile       Valve        Wheels        Total

                                bumpers           covers

Machine hours          1,970               1,270         1,360

Overhead rate            $48                  $48              $48

Total overhead        $94,560         $60,960    $65,280      $220,800

For determining the total overhead we simply multiply the machine hours with overhead rate.

Ed bought $2,000 in stock shares one week before the stock price dropped $10.00. If he had waited for the price setback, he coul
Zanzabum

Answer:

He bought 40 shares.

Explanation:

<em>Step 1: Determine the initial stock price</em>

Use the expression below to determine the total initial stock price as shown;

T=S×s

where;

T=total initial stock price

S=initial stock price per share

s=number of shares

In our case;

T=$2,000

S=x

s=unknown

replacing;

2,000=x×s

s=2,000/x

<em>Step 2: Determine the final stock price</em>

Use the expression below;

F=f×s2

where;

F=final stock price=$2,000

f=final stock price per stock=(x-10)

s2=final number of shares bought=(2,000/x)+10

replacing;

2,000=(x-10){(2,000/x)+10)

2,000=x(2,000/x)+(10 x)-10(2,000/x)-100

(2,000=2,000+10 x-20,000/x-100)x

2,000 x=2,000 x+10 x²-20,000-100 x

2,000 x-2000 x=10 x²-100 x-20,000

10 x²-100 x-20,000=0

solving quadratically;

x=[100±√{100²-(4×10×-20,000)}]/(2×10)

x={100±√(10,000+800,000)}/20

x=(100±900)/20

x=1,000/20=50

Initial stock price=$50

Number of shares bought=2,000/x=2,000/50=40

He bought 40 shares.
