Answer:

18.36% (B)

Explanation:

Current market price of stock = $24.50

Amount to be sold after four years = $55

Total dividend generated for four years= sum total of individual dividend each year.

= $1.25+$1.35+$1.45+$1.55

= $5.60

%ROI = Dividend/Return × 100%

Return = Amount generated after four years - initial stock price

Return = $55-$24.50

Return = $30.50

%ROI = $5.6/$30.50 × 100

%ROI = 0.1836 × 100

%ROI = 18.36%

What is the var of a 10 million portfolio with normally distributed returns at the 5% VaR? Assume the expected return is 13% and
Kitty [74]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. VaR = Expected return - z × Standard deviation  

= 13% - 1.645 × 20%

= -19.90%

Therefore the option a is the correct answer.

2) Now the correlation coefficient is

Variance of the portfolio  = (weight of A × Standard deviation 1)^2 + (weight of B × Standard deviation 2)^2 + (2 × weight of A × weight of B × Standard deviation 1 × Standard deviation 2 × correlation 1 and 2)

3.80% = (60% × 24%)^2 + (40% × 18%)^2 + (2 × 60% × 40% × 24% × 18% × correlation 1 and 2)

So the correlation is 0.583
