Bumek [7]

Answer:

a) A = 4.50% and B = 2.00%

b) SD for A = 4.15 %

c) Portfolio Return = 3.0%

Explanation:

a) Expected Returns for Both A and B respectively:

In order to calculate the expected returns, let's categorize the given data first.

Economy Probability Stock A Stock B

Booming 0.30 10% 20%

Neutral 0.30 5% 0%

Recession 0.40 0% -10% (not 10%)

So,

Expected Return for Stock A:

A = Sum of (all Probability x Stock A)

A = (0.30 x 0.10) + (0.30 x 0.05) + (0.40 x 0.00)

A = 0.045

A = 4.50 %

Return for Stock B:

B = Sum of all Probability x Stock B

B = (0.30 x 0.20) + (0.30 x 0.00) + (0.40 x -0.10)

B = 0.002

B = 2.0%

b) Standard Deviation /Risk for Stock A:

SD for A = Sum (Square Root (Probability*(Stock A Return - Expected Return of Stock A)²) )

SD for A = $\sqrt{0.30*(0.10-0.045)^2 + 0.30*(0.05-0.045)^2+0.40*(0.00-0.045)^2}$

SD for A = 0.0415

SD for A = 4.15%

c) Portfolio Return Given that:

Value Weight Return

Stock A 4000 0.4 4.50%

Stock B 6000 0.6 2.0%

10000

Portfolio Return = Sum of ( Weight x Return)

= (0.4 x 0.045) + (0.6 x 0.02)

= 0.03

Portfolio Return = 3%

The use of debt in the firm's capital structure will increase ROE if the firm:_____.

DIA [1.3K]

Answer: c. earns a higher return than the rate paid on debt.

Explanation:

If the debt that the company incurs leads to the company making more money than they are paying as interest for the debt, then more money will be available as net income which would increase the Return on Equity.

ROE is calculated by dividing the Net Income by Shareholder equity. Interest is an expense. If this expense is lower then the increase in net income as a result of the debt then it follows that net income would increase and so would ROE.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

A decrease in the price of domestically produced industrial robots will be reflected in the GDP deflator but not in the consumer price index.

Explanation:

Although from the outset, CPI and GDP Deflator might measure something very similar, there are a couple of key contrasts. The first is that GDP Deflator incorporates just local merchandise and nothing that is imported. This is diverse because the CPI includes anything purchased by buyers, including remote merchandise.

The subsequent contrast is that the GDP Deflator is a proportion of the costs all things considered and benefits while the CPI is a proportion of just merchandise purchased by shoppers.
