a. 8.36%
b. 8.96%
c. 9.45%
d. 10.24%
e. 9.83%

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b. 8.96%

Explanation:

As per given data

Year ____ Returns

_1 ______ 8.40%

_2 ______-6.30%

_3 ______21.40%

_4 ______14.30%

Now Use following formula to calculate the geometric average

Geometric Average = [tex]\sqrt[4]{x1 . x2 . x3 . x4}[/tex] - 1

Where

X1 = 8.40%

X2 = -6.30%

X3 = 21.40%

x4 = 14.30%

Placing value sin the formula

Geometric Average = [tex]\sqrt[4]{(1 + 0.0840) . (1 + (-0.0630)) . ( 1+ 0.214) . (1 + 0.143)}[/tex]  - 1

Geometric Average =  8.96%

A European call and put option on the same security both expire in three months, both have a strike price of 20, and both sell for the price 3. If the nominal continuously compounded interest rate is 10% and the stock price is currently 25 , identify an arbitrage.

Answers

Answer:

Call payoff = Max [0, Stock price - Strike price]

Call payoff = Max[0,25-20]

Call payoff = 5

Put payoff = Max[0, strike price - stock price]

Put payoff = max[0,20-25]

Put payoff = 0

Strike price = K = 20

Stock price​ = S = 25

interest rate = 10% = 0.1

Time to expiry = T = 3 months = 3/12 = 0.25

Put call parity: C + K*Exp(-r*T) = P + S

C = P + S​ - K*Exp(-r*T)

Call = 3 + 25 - 20*exp(-0.1*0.25)

Call = 28 - 19.5062 =

Call = 8.4938 > 3

So, yes there is an arbitrage . Implied value is 8.4938 but trades at 3.00; Call option is trading cheap hence we should buy more call options.

Rebello's preferred stock pays a dividend of $1.00 per quarter,and it sells for $55.00 per share.What is its effective annual (not nominal)rate of return?
A) 6.62%
B) 6.82%
C) 7.03%
D) 7.25%
E) 7.47%

Answers

Answer:

7.47%

Explanation:

Calculation for the effective annual rate of return

Using this formula

Effective annual rate of return=[1+(Preferred quarterly dividend+Preferred stock price]^Periods per year-1

Let plug in the formula

Where,

Periods per year =4

Preferred quarterly dividend=$1.00

Preferred stock price=$55.00

Effective annual rate of return = [1+ ($1.00/$55.00)]^4 - 1

Effective annual rate of return=(1+0.018181818)^4-1

Effective annual rate of return=(1.018181818)^4-1

Effective annual rate of return =1.0747-1

Effective annual rate of return =0.0747*100

Effective annual rate of return = 7.47%

Therefore Effective annual rate of return will be 7.47%

Give an example of an official in public service who failed to show probity, and explain your
answer. :

Answers

Answer:

The perfect and perhaps most commonly known is former U.S. President Richard Nixon.

Explanation:

Nixon was President of the United States from 1969 to 1974, he was elected for two periods, but he only finished one and less than half the other one. The reason is that he was embroiled in the Watergate scandal: an espionage campaign of the Democratic Party from Republican officials, including Nixon himself.

With these acts, Nixon, as the highest public official in the nation, failed to show probity, and dishonored the office of the president. He was quick to renounce the presidency, and would have faced legal challenges if not for his Vice President, Gerald Ford, who became president as his replacement, and issued him a presidential pardon immediately after.

A one-year long forward contract on a non-dividend-paying stock is entered into when the stock price is $40 and the risk-free rate of interest is 10% per annum with continuous compounding. a. What are the forward price and the initial value of the forward contract? b. Six months later, the price of the stock is $45 and the risk-free interest rate is still 10%. What are the forward price and the value of the forward contract?

Answers

Answer:

The correct solution is:

(a) $44.21

(b) $47.30

Explanation:

(a)

According to the question,

Stock price,

S = $40

Risk free rate,

r = 10%

 = 0.10

Delivery rate,

t = 1

Mathematical constant,

e = 2.72

Now,

The forward price will be:

⇒ [tex]F= S\times e^{(r\times t)}[/tex]

On substituting the estimated values, we get

⇒     [tex]=40\times 2.72^{(0.10\times 1)}[/tex]

⇒     [tex]=44.21[/tex] ($)

(b)

6 months later,

The forward price will be:

⇒ [tex]F= S\times e^{(r\times t)}[/tex]

⇒     [tex]=45\times 2.72^{(0.10\times 1)}[/tex]

⇒     [tex]=47.30[/tex] ($)

The initial value becomes assumed to be zero (0) since forward contracts constitute procurement deals which really determine the exchanging of a particular property though on a fixed period although at a price that has been accepted today.

older brother of Sasuke Uchiha and is responsible for killing all the members of their clan, sparing only Sasuke. :)

Explanation:

Answer:

Itachi was a kind-hearted human being by nature but he was FORCED into doing all the horrible acts and to live as a Rogue. It were Danzo and Tobi who played on Itachi's kindness and his love for Sasuke to force him into committing a genocide.

MPA is a very rare auto immune disease that causes antibodies to attack blood cells causing them to bleed as they become damaged and inflamed. MPA also attacks the vital organs of the body and causes bleeding, coughing, and fatigue which Itachi shows throughout the series.

He has incredibly keen battle sense, an uncanny ability to analyze techniques and find their weak spot, he matured his sharingan at an incredibly young age, he's a beast in shuriken jutsu, fire jutsu, and many Uchiha techniques (probably knows Uchiha Reflection), with Tsukuyomi he can bend space and time at a whim.

ending inventory = 8,000 units

1. FIFO, periodic system.

ending inventory = (6,000 x $8) + (2,000 x $7) = $62,000

2. LIFO, periodic system.

ending inventory = (6,000 x $6) + (2,000 x $7) = $50,000

3. LIFO, perpetual system.

COGS = (3,000 x $6) + ((2,000 x $7) + (4,000 x $8) = $64,000

ending inventory = $119,000 - $64,000 = $55,000

4. Average cost, periodic system.

ending inventory = 8,000 x $7 = $56,000

5. Average cost, perpetual system.

COGS = (3,000 x $6) + ((2,000 x $6.625) + (4,000 x $7.3125) = $60,500

ending inventory = $119,000 - $60,500 = $58,500

Petersen Company has a capital budget of $1.0 million. The company wants to maintain a target capital structure that is 55% debt and 45% equity. The company forecasts that its net income this year will be $800,000. If the company follows a residual distribution model and pays all distributions as dividends, what will be its payout ratio?

Answers

Answer: 43.75%

Explanation:

Payout ratio = Dividends paid / Earnings

Company has a Capital budget of $1 million which must be financed by 45% equity.

= 1,000,000 * 45%

= $450,000

This will be taken from the Net income which would leave the following for dividends;

= 800,000 - 450,000

= $350,000

Payout ratio = 350,000/800,000

= ‭0.4375‬

= 43.75%

Its after-tax cost of capital is 10% and its federal-plus-state income tax rate was 35%. What was the firm's economic value added (EVA), that is, how much value did management add to stockholders' wealth during 2018?

Answers

Answer:

$1,750,000

Explanation:

Calculation for how much value did management add to stockholders' wealth during 2018

First step is to calculate the Operating income

Operating income=23 million-18 million

Operating income= 5 million

Now let calculate the EVA=

EVA= (5,000,000 *(100-35%))-($15,000,000*10%)

EVA=($5,000,000*65%)- ($15,000,000*10%)

EVA=$3,250,000-$1,500,000

EVA=$1,750,000

Therefore the amount of value that the management add to stockholders' wealth during 2018 will be $1,750,000

Answers

Answer:

Beta= 0.9845

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Stock A:

Investment= $65,000

Beta= 0.75

Stock B:

Investment= $35,000

Beta= 1.42

To calculate the beta of the portfolio, we need to use the following formula:

Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B)

Beta= (0.65*0.75) + (0.35*1.42)

Beta= 0.9845
