A financial advisor informs a client that the expected return on a portfolio is 8% with a standard deviation of 12%. There is a 25% chance the return will be negative and a 15% chance that the return would be above 16%. Does her assessment follow a normal distribution? Calculate the probabilities for a normal distribution and compare.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A) The assessment does not follow a normal distribution

B ) P(r<0) = 0.2546 ( from standard normal table ),     P( r > 0.16 ) ≠ 0.15

Explanation:

Expected return on portfolio  E (r) = 8%

Standard deviation (STD) = 12%

chances of Negative return  P(r < 0 )  = 25%

calculate the probabilities for a normal distribution

E (r) = 0.08 , STD = 0.12,  P(r < 0 ) = 0.25

P( r > 0.16 ) = 0.15

calculating the value of the probability  P(r < 0 )

P(r < 0 ) = P [tex](Z < \frac{0-E(r)}{STD} )[/tex]

              = P ( Z <  [tex]\frac{0-0.08}{0.12}[/tex] )

              = P ( Z < - 0.667 )

P(r<0) = 0.2546 ( from standard normal table )

calculating the value of the  probability P( r > 0.16 )

P( r > 0.16 ) = [tex]P ( Z > \frac{0.16- E(r)}{STD})[/tex]

                  = P ( Z > [tex]\frac{0.16-0.08}{0.12}[/tex] )

                  = P ( Z > 0.667 )

to compare if p(r>0.16 ) is = 0.15

 P(R > 0.16 ) = 1 - P ( Z < 0.667 )

                    = 1 - 0.7454 ( value from standard normal table )

                    = 0.2546

hence P( r > 0.16 ) ≠ 0.15

The assessment does not follow a normal distribution

Suppose annual inflation rates in the U.S. and Mexico are expected to be 6% and 80%, respectively, over the next several years. If the current spot rate for the Mexican peso is $.005, then the best estimate of the peso's spot value in 3 years is Group of answer choices $.00276 $.01190 $.00321 $.00102

Answers

Answer:

$.00102

Explanation:

The forward peso's spot value in 3 years can be computed using the below formula:

forward exchange rate=current spot rate*(1+US inflation)^3/(1+Mexican inflation)^3

current spot rate=$.005,

US inflation rate is 6%

Mexican inflation rate is 80%

forward exchange rate=$.005,*(1+6%)^3/(1+80%)^3

forward exchange rate(in 3 years)=$0.00102

Accounts payable increase $3,200

Wages payable $24,590 $27,310

Decreased wages payable -$2,720

Per below, we have some accounts that are added (+) to the net income while some are also deducted (-).

fremont which uses the high-low method reported total cost of $10 per unit its lowest production level, 5000 units. when production tripled to its highest level, the total cost per unit dropped to $5 variable cost per unit

Answers

Answer:

$2.50

Explanation:

Calculation for the estimation of   variable cost per unit

                        Units     Total cost

High method  15,000×$5  per units  =$75,000

(5,000*3)=15,000

Low  method  5,000*$10 per units=$50,000

Difference  10,000     $25,000  

Variable cost per unit =$25,000/10,000

Variable cost per unit=$2.50

Note: Based on the information given we were told that production tripled to its highest level which means the high method units will be 15,000 units (5,000 units*3)

Therefore Fremont would estimate its variable cost per unit as: $2.50

So here the tax-equivalent yield is

According to the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis, this fate has befallen many developing countries given the general decline in commodity prices in relation to the price of manufactured goods.A) TrueB) False

Answers

Answer: True

Explanation;

Generally, manufactured goods cost more than the commodity goods that they were manufactured from due to the value that has been added to them. This is what the Prebisch-Singer hypothesis argues, that commodity prices decline overtime in relation to manufacturing good prices.

This is a fate that has befallen many developing countries as many of them export commodity goods to developed countries who then add value to them, turning them into manufactured goods and then selling them back to developing countries at a higher price thereby negatively affecting their balance of trade.

Alpha Industries is considering a project with an initial cost of $9.1 million. The project will produce cash inflows of $1.84 million per year for 7 years. The project has the same risk as the firm. The firm has a pretax cost of debt of 5.94 percent and a cost of equity of 11.49 percent. The debt–equity ratio is .71 and the tax rate is 40 percent. What is the net present value of the project?

Answers

Answer:

NPV = $1.22  million

Explanation:

The Net present value (NPV) is the difference between the Present value (PV) of cash inflows and the PV of cash outflows. A positive NPV implies a good investment decision and a negative figure implies the opposite.  

NPV of an investment:  

NPV = PV of Cash inflows - PV of cash outflow  

To work oit the NPV we would need to determine the discount rate i.e cost of capital as follows:

Cost of capital -discount rate -

WACC = We×Ke + Wd×Kd

After cost o debt = 5.94× (1-0.4)=3.56

WACC = (0.71×3.56 %)  + (0.29×11.49%)=5.86 %

PV of cash inflow = A× (1- (1+r)^(-n))/r

A- annul cash inflow, r- 5.86%, n- 7

PV of cash inflow= 1.84 million × (1- 1.0586^(-7))/0.0586 =10.32

Initial cost = 9.1 million

NPV = 10.32  - 9.1 =  1.22 million

NPV = $1.22  million

Max 8000M + 12000B

Answers

Answer:

Min 2M + 3B

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Let us assume M denotes the making units

B denotes the buying units

So,

Making cost per unit = $2

And, the buying cost per unit = $3

And, the total number of units required = 4,000 units

Based on the above information, the objective function is Min 2M + 3B.

This indicates the minimum total cost

Hence, the correct option is A.

Charlie must consider that despite the fact that the internet and technology have made globalization more accessible, the location of a business remains very important hence the old saying "its all about location location location".

The firm's geographical location has an effect on stakeholders in the company such as customers, employees and suppliers. For the customers, even if the business was to rely on the internet and delivering goods, the location needs to be convenient enough to ship goods from.

The Suppliers as well need to be able to send the goods ordered for in a timely fashion and an improper location can hamper that. Even employees need a place to work in that is conducive for them in terms of logistics and a safe working environment. Charlie should definitely not forget about the importance of location.

Pisa, Inc. leased equipment from Williamsburg Company under a four-year lease requiring equal annual payments of $68,830, with the first payment due at lease inception. The lease does not transfer ownership, nor is there a bargain purchase option. The equipment has a 4-year useful life and no salvage value. Pisa, Inc.'s incremental borrowing rate is 10% and the rate implicit in the lease (which is known by Pisa, Inc.) is 8%. Assuming that this lease is properly classified as a capital lease, what is the approximate amount of principal reduction recorded when the second lease payment is made in Year 2?

Answers

Answer:

$54,639

Explanation:

the approximate amount of principal reduction when the second lease payment is made in Year 2 can be calculated by making the Lease amortization table as follows

DATA

Annual payments = 68,830

Implicit rate = 8%

Annuty factor for 4 years at 8% = 3.55710

Present value of lease payment =$246,212 (68830*3.57710 )

                                                      Year 1                Year 2

Opening balance                             -                      $177,382(w)

interest                                              -                      $14,191(w)

payments                                      $68,830             $68,830

principal payments                     $68,830              $54,639

closing balance                          $177,382(w)         $122,743

Working

Closing balance = Present value of lease payment - Annual payment

Closing balance = $256,212 - $68,830

Closing balance = $177,382

Interest = closing balance x implicit rate

Interest =  $177,382 x 8%

Interest = $14,190.56
