The Maybe Pay Life Insurance Co. is trying to sell you an investment policy that will pay you and your heirs $21,000 per year forever. If the required return on this investment is 6.3 percent, how much will you pay for the policy?

This is a very straight forward PV of a Perpetuity problem, as covered in class. The formula is: PVP=C/r, so the answer is 21000/.063=333,333.33

Diversification can reduce the portfolio's risk as measured by standard deviation to be less than the least risky investment

t

Excess return or risk premium is the return on a security less the risk free rate

t

Expected return of a portfolio depends on percentage of money in each asset, probability of each economic state, the return of each asset based on economic states, and the expected economic states

t

Increasing the number of compounding periods increases the future value of an investment but decreases the present value of an investment

t

Present value and future values are reciprocal

t

Small cap stocks had the highest average historical return, highest risk premium and the highest volatility/risk.

t

***APR is the periodic rate times the number of periods, so this is simply 1.45x12=17.4. ***

Systematic risk is synonymous with non-diversifiable risk and market risk which is rewarded, cannot be eliminated, applies to a large group of assets, and is measured by beta

t

The effective annual rate and annual percentage rate are equal when interest is compounded annually

Double Taxation

- corporations pay taxes on profits then pay dividends to shareholders which are taxed again. So, the money is taxed twice before the shareholder receives it.

The expected return of a stock portfolio must be between the lowest and best performing stocks and should not depend on the unsystematic risk of each stock, rather only the systematic risk of each stock.

t

Unexpected returns should average out to zero in the long-run but can be positive or negative in the short-run.

t

Use effective annual percentage rate to compare loans

annuity is equal payments

t

increasing the number of compounding periods increases the future value of an investment but decreases the present value of an investment

t

16. You've observed the following returns on Goo-goo gum stock over the past five years: 2 percent, 10 percent, 25 percent, 4 percent, and 18 percent. What is the variance of these returns? What is the standard deviation?

Standard Deviation= .10 Variantion= St Dav. x^2 .01 2nd -> data 2nd -> stat

Correlation -

a measure of variation of one variable with another. In finance, this could be the variation of one stock's return against another stock's return. As long as it is less than one, you will get diversification benefits reducing risk. Ideal is negative 1 correlation so you can eliminate all risk but that won't happen in the real world, lol.

4. Jessica has a $1000 to invest. She invests $400 in stock A with a beta of 1.3, $200 in stock beta which is equally risky as the market, and the remainder in t-bills. What is her portfolio beta?

stock a $400 beta 1.3 stock b $200 t billls 400 $1000 total market beta= 1 t bills beta = 0 (risk free) Formula= (summation) F*x/ftotal (400* 1.3) +(200*1)+(400*0)/ 1,000= 720/1000= .72

17. You own a portfolio that has $3,000 invested in Stock A and $1,500 invested in Stock B. The expected returns on these stocks are 15 percent and 10 percent, respectively. What is the expected return on the portfolio?

stock a 3000 * .15= 450 stock b 1500 * .10 = 150 4500 f*x/ ftotal 600/ 4500= .13 *100 = 13.33

according to the capital pricing model (CAPM) what is the expected return on a security with a beta of zero?

the risk free rate

what is the intercept of the security market line (SML)?

the risk free rate

two components of expected return on the market

the risk of premium the risk free rate

standard deviation

the square root of the variance

what are the two components of unexpected return (U) in the total return equation?

the unsystematic portion the systematic portion

How are the unsystematic risks of two different companies in two different industries related?

there is no relationship

Increasing the discount rate of an annuity or perpetuity will decrease the present value but increase the future value

true

There is an inverse relationship between time and present value

true

The annual rate is equal to the periodic rate multiplied by the number of periods

true 1% per month * 12 months = APR

unlimited, unending or infinite d) Equal payments paid out forever made at regular intervals

What does the efficient market hypothesis assume? a) Arbitrage opportunities are readily available with technical analysis b) New information is slowly incorporated into security prices c) Investments offer a zero net present value d) All profits are retained by corporations

you will be fairly priced c) Investments offer a zero net present value
