The Amer Company has the following characteristics: Sales = $1,000, Total assets = $1,000. Total debt/Total assets =35%, Basic E
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

ROE  = 16.98%

Explanation:

The question is to determine Amer Company's Return on Equity

The following steps are taken:

1) The Total Debt ÷ Total Assets = 35%

It means Total Debt ÷  1000= 0.35

Meaning 0.35 x $1,000 = $350 and this is the total debt

2) Calculate Interest on debt

Interest on debt = Interest rate on total debt x total debt

= 4.57% x $350 = $16

3) Now calculate the Net Income from Earnings before Interest and Tax

Earnings before Interest and tax = $200

less interest                                       $16

Earnings Before Tax                       $184

Subtract tax (40% of EBT)                 $73.6

Net income                                       $110.4

4) Calculate the Return on Equity

= Net income/ Shareholders' Equity

= $110.4/ ($1,000-$300)

= 16.98%

Percival Hygiene has $10 million invested in long-term corporate bonds. This bond portfolio's expected annual rate of return is
BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)We find the portfolio weights first. For a two security portfolio

sP^2 = x_1^2s_1^2 + 2x_1x_2s_1s_2r_1_2 + x_2^2s_2^2

(0.10)^2 = 0 + 0 + x_2^2(0.16)^2

 x2 = 0.625 and x1 = 0.375

Then

rp = x1r1 + x2r2

rp = (0.375 ´ 0.06) + (0.625 ´ 0.14)

  = 0.11

 = 11.0%

Hence, he can improve the expected rate of return without any change in the risk of the portfolio.

b)

The expected return is:

rp = x1r1 + x2r2

rp = (0.5 *´ 0.09) + (0.5 ´* 0.14)

= 0.115 = 11.5%

sP^2 = x_1^2s_1^2 + 2x_1x_2s_1s_2r_1_2 + x_2^2s_2^2

sP2 = (0.5)^2(0.10)^2 + 2*(0.5)(0.5)(0.10)(0.16)(0.10) + (0.5)^2(0.16)^2

sP2 = 0.0097

sP = 0.985 = 9.85%

Hence, he can never perform better by investing equal amount in bond portfolio and index fund. The expected return increases to 11.5% and standard deviation decreases to 9.85%.
