Answer: ER(P) = ERX(WX) + ERY(WY)
16 = 13(1-WY) + 9(WY)
16 = 13 - 13WY + 9WY
16 = 13 - 4WY
4WY = 13-16
4WY = -3
WY = -3/4
WY = -0.75
WX = 1 - WY
WX = 1 - (-0.75)
WX = 1 + 0.75
WX = 1.75
The amount to be invested in stock Y = -0.75 x $106,000
= -$79,500
The Beta of the portfolio could be calculated using the formula:
BP = BX(WX) + BY(WY)
BP = 1.14(1.75) + 0.84(-0.75)
BP = 1.995 - 0.63
BP = 1.365
Explanation: The expected return of the portfolio is equal to expected return of stock X multiplied by the weight of stock X plus the expected return of stock Y multiplied by weight of security Y. The weight of security Y is -0.75. The weight of security X is equal to 1 - weight of security Y. Thus, the weight of security X is 1.75 since the weight of security Y is negative. The amount to be invested in security Y is -0.75 x $106,000, which is equal to -$79,500
The Beta of the portfolio equals Beta of stock X multiplied by weight of stock X plus the Beta of stock Y multiplied by weight of stock Y. The weights of the two stocks have been obtained earlier. Therefore, the Beta of the portfolio is 1.365.
Answer:
for this problem the answer would be A. 3.08
Explanation:
Add the expenses and freight (3,500+1,750)
Subtract that from 43,500 (43,500-5250 which equals 38,250). Divide 38,250 by 12,400.
38,250÷12,400=3.08
Answer: $498
Explanation:
A Put is an option that will only be exercised if the price of the underlying security which is the stock in this case, falls below the current price of $58.
This means that we will not include the 70% chance of increase in our calculation.
In a contract, there are 100 shares.
Expected profit = Contract price - (Prob. of dropping by 10% * 10% of stock) - (Prob. of dropping by 20% * 20% of stock)
= 730 - ( 20% * 10% * 58 * 100) - (10% * 20% * 58 * 100)
= 730 - 116 - 116
= $498
Answer:
Break-even units = 66.67 units
Explanation:
<em>Break-even point is the level of activity that achieves no profit or loss. At this level profit is zero because the the total revenue is equal to total cost.</em>
<em>The break-even point is calculated as </em>
<em>Units to achieve target profit = (Total general fixed cost for the period + target profit)/ contribution per unit</em>
Contribution per unit = Selling Price - Variable cost
Contribution per unit = 15- (1+3+0.50) = 10.5
Fixed cost = 500 +( 50× 4) = 700
So the units requited to achieve break-even point:
Break-even point = 700/10.5
= 66.67 units
Answer:
A) $1384.24
Explanation:
Terminal Value = Free Cash Flow (FCF) of last forecast *(1+ perpetual growth rate)/(discount rate – perpetual growth rate)
FCF of last forecast = $88*(1+10%)^2 = $106.48
Gonzales Corporationʹs expected terminal enterprise value in year 2 = $106.48 * (1+4%)/(12%-4%) = $1382.24
