Answer:
Explanation:
AAA AEP
Beginning balance, 1/1/20 200,000 110,000
Less: Distributions (140,000) (0)
Less: Loss (ordinary) (120,000) (0)
Ending Balance (60,000) 110,000
Here AAA is adjusted first for the distributions and then for the loss. The negative balance must be restored to a positive before the shareholders may receive any distributions that will not be taxed as dividend income.
Answer:
A.) ALPHA
Portfolio A = 8.5%
Portflio B = 13.5%
B.) Sharpe measure
Portfolio A = 0.1519
Portflio B = 0.1479
Explanation:
T- bill rate (Rf) =5%
S&P 500 index ( Rm) = 10%
Portfolio A;
Expected rate of return = 9.1%
Beta (B) = 0.7
Standard deviation (s) = 27%
Portfolio B;
Expected rate of return = 12.1%
Beta (B) = 1.7
Standard deviation = 48%
Required rate of return for both portfolios;
Rf + B × (Rm - Rf)
Portfolio A :
5% + 0.7 ×(10% - 5%) = 5% + 0.7 × (5%)
5% + 3.5% = 8.5%
Portfolio B :
5% + 1.7 ×(10% - 5%) = 5% + 1.7 × (5%)
5% + 8.5% = 13.5%
A) Alpha(A) of Portfolio A and B ;
A = Expected return - Required return
Alpha of portfolio A :
9.1% - 8.5% = 0.6%
Alpha of Portfolio B:
12.1% - 13.5% = - 1.4%
B.) Sharpe measure for portfolio A and B;
Sharpe ratio = (Expected rate of return - Rf) / s
Portfolio A = (9.1% - 5%)/27% = 0.1519
Portfolio B = (12.1% - 5%)/48% = 0.1479
I will choose Portfolio A
Answer:
market price of bonds = $219,597.35
Explanation:
Since the coupon rate is higher than the market rate, the bonds will be sold at a premium.
PV of face value = $200,000 / (1 + 3%)³⁰ = $82,397.35
PV of coupon payments = $7,000 x 19.600 (PV annuity factor, 3%, 30 periods) = $137,200
market price of bonds = $219,597.35
