You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 22% and a standard deviation of 34%. The T-bill rate is 6%. Your risky portfolio includes the following investments in the given proportions: Stock A 31 % Stock B 36 % Stock C 33 % Suppose that your client decides to invest in your portfolio a proportion y of the total investment budget so that the overall portfolio will have an expected rate of return of 18%. a. What is the proportion y? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) b. What are your client’s investment proportions in your three stocks and the T-bill fund? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) c. What is the standard deviation of the rate of return on your client’s portfolio? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer and Explanation:

A.

E(r) = y x R(rp) + (1-y)*rf

0.18 = y * 0.22+(1-y)*0.06

0.18 = 0.22y +0.06 -0.06y

Collect like terms

0.18-0.06 = 0.22y - 0.06y

0.12 = 0.16y

y = 0.12/0.16

= 0.75

= 75%

B.

Stock a = 31% x 0.75

= 0.2325

= 23.25%

Stock b = 36% * 0.75

= 0.27%

Stock c = 33% * 0.75

= 0.2475

= 24.75%

A total of all these stocks gives 100 percent

C.

We have standard deviation = 34%

Y * standard deviation

= 0.75 * 0.34

= 0.255

= 25.5%

What is a "Halo effect?" Review Later This bias occurs when decision makers seek out evidence that confirms their previously held beliefs, while discounting or diminishing the impact of evidence in support of differing conclusions. This is the overreliance on an initial single piece of information or experience to make subsequent judgments. Once an anchor is set, other judgments are made by adjusting away from that anchor, which can limit one’s ability to accurately interpret new, potentially relevant information. This is an observer’s overall impression of a person, company, brand, or product, and it influences the observer’s feelings and thoughts about that entity’s overall character or properties. It is the perception, for example, that if someone does well in a certain area, then they will automatically perform well at something else regardless of whether those tasks are related. This bias occurs when a person overestimates the reliability of their judgments. This can include the certainty one feels in her own ability, performance, level of control, or chance of success.

A problem of interest to health officials (and others) is to determine the effects of smoking during pregnancy on infant health. One measure of infant health is birth weight; a birth weight that is too low can put an infant at risk for contracting various illnesses. Since factors other than cigarette smoking that affect birth weight are likely to be correlated with smoking, we should take those factors into account. For example, higher income generally results in access to better prenatal care, as well as better nutrition for the mother. An equation that recognizes this is bwght 5 b0 1 b1cigs 1 b2 faminc 1 u.

A city engaged in the following transactions during a year: It acquired computer equipment at a cost of $40,000. It completed construction of a new jail, incurring $245,000 in new costs. In the previous year the city had incurred $2.5 million in construction costs. The project was accounted for in a capital projects fund. It sold for $16,000 land that it had acquired three years earlier for $28,000. It traded in a four‐year‐old sanitation department vehicle for a new model. The old vehicle had initially cost $27,000, its carrying value at the time of trade was $17,000, and its market value was $13,000. The city paid an additional $39,000 cash for the new model. The fair value of the new model was $52,000. Prepare journal entries to reflect the transactions in an appropriate governmental fund (e.g., a general fund or a capital projects fund). Prepare journal entries to reflect the transactions in the city's government‐wide statements.

3. Continuous review inventory control is being applied to purchase motors for an electric fan manufacturer. Demand is uniformly distributed between 500 and 600 motors per week. Each order costs $250 to prepare, place and receive. Motors cost $2.75/unit and the holding cost rate is 1% per week. Management proposes using the EOQ order quantity and setting reorder points to ensure a 97% fill rate. Find the imputed(implied) cost of a shortage and the expected number of shortages per year.

Making the pro-forma financial statements as complicated as possible is always best

Asset management ratios are important - firms need to manage assets efficiently because capital obtained to acquire those assets is expensive. These ratios include the: (1) Inventory turnover ratio, (2) Days sales outstanding, (3) Fixed assets turnover, and (4) Total assets turnover. The inventory turnover ratio indicates how many times during the year inventory is -Select- and restocked. Its equation is: Excess inventory is unproductive and represents an investment with a -Select- rate of return. An alternative definition of the inventory turnover ratio replaces sales in the numerator with -Select- . The rationale for this measurement is that inventory is carried at cost, so sales in the numerator overstates the true inventory turnover ratio. The days sales outstanding (DSO) ratio is also called the average collection period (ACP). Its equation is:

At the beginning of the month, the Painting Department of Skye Manufacturing had 24,000 units in inventory, 80% complete as to materials, and 20% complete as to conversion. The cost of the beginning inventory, $32,650, consisted of $26,400 of material costs and $6,250 of conversion costs. During the month the department started 119,000 units and transferred 126,000 units to the next manufacturing department. Costs added in the current month consisted of $283,440 of materials costs and $562,825 of conversion costs. At the end of the month, the department had 17,000 units in inventory, 30% complete as to materials and 15% complete as to conversion. If Skye Manufacturing uses the weighted average method of process costing, compute the costs per equivalent unit of materials and conversion respectively for the Painting Department.
