Answer:

E-Mini futures = $2,939.25

Contract Size = 50

Portfolio Value = $10,000,000, Beta 1.5

Target Beta 2, Planning to increase the exposure

Calculation of Number of contracts needed = [Portfolio Size x (Target Beta - Actual beta)] / Contracts Size x Future Price

= (10,000,000 x (2 - 1.5) ] / 50 x 2939.25

= (10,000,000 x 0.5) / 146962.5

= 5,000,000 / 146962.5

= 34.02228459641065

= 34

So, you need to go Long 34 contracts to Increase the exposure.

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Following are the answer to this question:

In question first, the answer is "Option d".

In question second, the answer is "Option e".

In question third, the answer is "Option e".

In question fourth, the answer is "Option e ".

In question fifth, the answer is "Option b".

Explanation:

Given values:

Checkable \ deposits =  \$ 400,000,000\\Currency = \$ 340,000,000\\Traveler's \ checks = \$ 4,000,000\\Money \ market \ mutual \ funds = \$ 50,000,000\\Small \ time \ deposits = \$ 6,000,000\\Savings \ deposits = \$ 850,000,000\\

Solution:

  • \text{M1= currency +checkable deposits + travellers check}

    = $400000000+$340000000+$4000000

    = $744000000

\bold{\text{M2 = M1 +money market mutual funds + small time deposit+ saving deposit}}

      =  $744000000 + $50000000+$6000000+$850000000

       = $1,650,000,000

  • Saving account deposits, which means its amount of money increased throughout the M2 portion regular savings account. So M2 will grow  
  • Its increase in the number of employees may not impact the balance sheet with banks, because each bank maintains its entire cash flow
  • For banks, loans are investments if they're lending money as a bank to people. So, it's on income statement asset side
