Josh has a portfolio of two stocks, Stocks A has a Beta of 2.4 and stock B has a Beta of 0.9. Funds are allocated with 60% in Stock A and 40% in Stock B. If the T-bill rate is 4%, and the market expected return is 13%, what is the required return on the portfolio?

A stock provides the following returns:

Year 1 6%
Year 2 10%
Year 3 -6%

What is the geometric average return?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Using CAPM, the required return is;

Required return = risk free rate + beta * market risk premium

= 6% + 1.5 * 9%

= 19.5%

2. First find the portfolio beta which is a weighted average of the individual betas;

= (60% * 2.4) + (40% * 0.9)

= 1.8

Now use CAPM

= risk free rate + beta * (Market return - risk free rate)

= 4% + 1.8 * (13% - 4%)

= 20.2%

3.Geometric average can be calculated by;

=( ((1 + r1) * (1 + r2) * (1 + r3)) ^1/n) - 1

= (((1 + 6%) * (1 + 10%) * (1 - 6%)) ^ 1/3) - 1

= ‭(1.09604‬^1/3) - 1

= 3.1%

a. $10.38
b. $9.52
c. $9.04
d. $9.28
e. $10.02

Answers

Answer:

P0 = $9.04279 rounded off to $9.04

Option c is the correct answer

Explanation:

Using the the dividend discount model, we calculate the price of the stock today. It values the stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. To calculate the price of the stock today, we will use the following formula,

P0 = D1 / (1+r)  +  D2 / (1+r)^2  +  D3 / (1+r)^3

Where,

r is the required rate of return

P0 = 4 / (1+0.156)  +  4 / (1+0.156)^2  +  4 / (1+0.156)^3

P0 = $9.04279 rounded off to $9.04

Jeannie plans to deposit $6,000 in a money market sinking fund at the end of each year for the next four years. What is the amount that will accumulate by the end of the fourth and final payment if the sinking fund earns 9% interest

Answers

Answer:

$27,439

Explanation:

Calculation for the amount that will accumulate by the end of the fourth and final payment

First step is to find the FV of an ordinary annuity of $1 using the table

FV=?

Number of years= 4

interest= 9%

Hence,

FV of of an ordinary annuity of $1 =4.5731

Now let calculate the that will accumulate by the end of the fourth and final payment

End of the fourth and final payment Accumulated amount = $6,000 × 4.5731

End of the fourth and final payment Accumulated amount = $27,439

Therefore the amount that will accumulate by the end of the fourth and final payment will be $27,439

Common Stock-$0.10 Par value                     40000 Cr

Paid-ln Capital in Excess of Par—Common    1,560,000 Cr

Option c is the correct answer

Explanation:

The issuance of stock will mean an inflow of cash to the company as a result. The cash received will be equal to the number of shares issued multiplied by the value at which they are issued.

Thus, cash received will be = 400000 * 4  =  $1600000

As the asset is increasing, the cash will be debited.

On the other side of the transaction, the issuance of stock is always recorded at the par value in the common stock account and any amount received in excess of par value is credited to the Paid-in-Capital in excess of par-Common Stock account.

Thus, Common stock will be credited by = 400000 * 0.1 = $40000

The remaining = 1600000 - 40000 = 1560000 will be credited to Paid-in-Capital in excess of par-Common Stock account.

(A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

Answers

Answer:

Albert Canning PLC

a) Profit margin = -6.49%

b) The net loss in dollars = -$23,351.99

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Net loss = £18,137

Sales = £279,386

Profit margin = (Net loss)/Sales * 100

= -£18,137/£279,386 * 100

= -6.49%

b) Sales in dollars = $359,815

The net loss in dollars = $359,815 * -6.49%

= $23,351.99

c) The profit margin is expressed in percentage terms.  It depicts the relationship between the profit and the sales revenue.

The result of inspection of samples taken over the past 11 days is given below. The sample size is 100 per day. Day 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10Defectives 7 9 9 11 7 8 0 11 13 2What are the upper and lower control limits?

Answers

Answer:

UCL(p) = 0.157

LCL(p) = 0

Explanation:

Number of samples (n) = 10

Size of sample (n) = 100

We compute the defective rate P as below

P  = 7 + 9 + 9 + 11 + 7 + 8 + 0 + 11 + 13 + 2 / 10 * 100

P = 77 / 1000

p = 0.077

We derive σP / value of standard deviation of the sampling distribution as shown below

σP = √P * (1-P) / n

σP = √0.077 * (1 - 0.077) / 100

σP = √0.077 * 0.923/100

σP = √0.071071/100

σP = √0.00071071

σP = 0.02665

Now we calculate the Upper Control chart limit:

UCL(p) = P +Z*σP

UCL(p) = 0.077 + 3*0.02665

UCL(p) = 0.077 + 0.07995

UCL(p) = 0.15695

UCL(p) = 0.157

Now we calculate the Lower Control chart limit:

LCL(p) = P - Z*σP

LCL(p) = 0.077 - 3*0.02665

LCL(p) = 0.077 - 0.07995

LCL(p) = -0.00295 (Negative defect cannot go beyond Zero)

LCL(p) = 0

4 8.1 105.7 25 years 60,000,000

Answers

Answer:

bond 1:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]

YTM = {750,000 + [(20,000,000 - 21,000,000) / 10]} / [(20,000,000 + 21,000,000) / 2]

YTM = 650,000 / 20,500,000 = 3.17 x 2 = 6.34%

after tax cost of debt = 6.34% x (1 - 15%) = 5.39%

bond 2:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]

YTM = {1,160,000 + [(40,000,000 - 38,160,000) / 16]} / [(40,000,000 + 38,160,000) / 2]

YTM = 1,275,000 / 39,080,000 = 3.26 x 2 = 6.53%

after tax cost of debt = 6.53% x (1 - 15%) = 5.55%

bond 3:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]

YTM = {1,732,500 + [(45,000,000 - 46,710,000) / 31]} / [(45,000,000 + 46,710,000) / 2]

YTM = 1,677,339 / 45,855,000 = 3.66 x 2 = 7.32%

after tax cost of debt = 7.32% x (1 - 15%) = 6.22%

bond 4:

YTM = {coupon + [(face value - market value) / n]} / [(face value + market value) / 2]

YTM = {2,430,000 + [(60,000,000 - 63,420,000) / 50]} / [(60,000,000 + 63,420,000) / 2]

YTM = 2,361,600 / 61,710,000 = 3.83 x 2 = 7.65%

Big Valley has a times interest earned ratio that is _________, which indicates that Big Valley has _________ long-term insolvency risk than the typical firm in the industry.

a. 4; the same
b. 3.91; less
c. 3.91; more
d. 4.58; more
e. 4.58; less

Answers

Answer:

C. 3.91; more

Explanation:

the first part of the question is missing. It involved several aspects of Big Valley including its current and quick ratios, ROE and how they compare to the industry's average (they are generally lower than the industry's average).

This particular question refers to times interest earned ratio = EBIT / interest expense = 3.91, and how it compares to the industry's average (it is higher than the industry's average).

Since Big Valley performs poorly against the industry's average when comparing the other 3 metrics, but performs very well in the times interest ratio, it means that Big Valley has a low debt ratio. A low debt ratio results in lower financial leverage and lower interest expense.

Issuing a $1,000 par value bond with a yield to maturity of 10%. The company is in a 35 percent marginal tax bracket. What will be the firm’s after-tax cost of debt on the bond?

Answers

Answer:

6.50%

Explanation:

The after-tax cost of the debt is the yield to maturity after having deducted the tax shield which is computed using the formula below:

after-tax cost of debt=pretax cost of debt*(1-tax rate)

pretax cost of debt=yield to maturity=10%

tax rate=35%

The after-tax cost of debt=10%*(1-35%)

The after-tax cost of debt=10%*65%

The after-tax cost of debt=6.50%

=$800,000/8

=$100,000

A stock is expected to pay a dividend of $0.50 at the end of the year (i.e., D1 = $0.50), and it should continue to grow at a constant rate of 9% a year. If its required return is 12%, what is the stock's expected price 1 years from today? Round your answer to two decimal places. Do not round your intermediate calculations.

Answers

Answer:

P1 = $18.16667 rounded off to $18.17

Explanation:

Using the constant growth model of dividend discount model, we can calculate the price of the stock today. The DDM values a stock based on the present value of the expected future dividends from the stock. The formula for price today under this model is,

P0 = D1 / (r - g)

Where,

D1 is dividend expected for the next period /year g is the growth rate r is the required rate of return or cost of equity

To calculate the price of the stock today (P0), we use the dividend expected for the next period (D1). Similarly, to calculate the price of the stock one year from today (P1), we will use D2.

P1 = 0.5 * (1+0.09)  /  (0.12 - 0.09)

P1 = $18.16667 rounded off to $18.17
