The present value of a future sum increases as the term (N) increases, regardless of compounding frequency. True False
When, if ever, will the geometric average return exceed the arithmetic average return for a given set of returns? Never When the set of returns includes only risk-free rates. When all of the rates of return in the set of returns are equal to each other.
3. A market consists of two risky assets and no risk-free asset. Let R₁ and R₂ denote the return on each of the risky assets. Using market data the following have been estimated: E[R₁] = 0.10, E[R₂] = 0.15, o² = Var(R₁) = 0.1², o² = Var(R₂) = 0.2² and p1,2 = -1/2 where P1,2 denotes the correlation coefficient for R₁ and R₂. (i) Given that an investor is targeting a total expected return of portfolio, what is the minimum variance that can be achieved? = 0.125 on a (ii) Determine the global minimum variance portfolio and the expected return and variance of return on this portfolio. (iii) Using your answers to parts (i) and (ii) make a rough sketch of the minimum- variance set in - o2 space. You should indicate the efficient frontier and the global minimum variance portfolio. (iv) Without further calculation, explain how you would expect the variance of return calculated in (ii) to change if the two risky assets were independent.
Assume that the variables I, N, and PV represent the interest rate, investment or deposit period, and present value of the amount deposited or invested, respectively. Which equation best represents the calculation of a future value (FV) using: Compound interest? O FV = PV / (1+1)N O FV = PV + (PV XIX N) O FV = PV x (1 + I)N Simple interest? OFV = PV + (PV XIX N) O FV = PV XIX N O FV = PV/(PV XIX N)
Hydro Ottawa has two options for upgrading a natural gas power station to meet new government standards. Option 1: Hydro Ottawa will make the upgrades themselves. This is expected to cost $12,700 at the end of each month for 12 years. At the end of the operation (in 12 years) Hydro Ottawa expects to sell all equipment needed for the upgrade for $122,000. Option 2: Pay experienced contractors. This will cost $28,000 up front and $13,900 monthly (at the end of every month) for 15 years. Assume all interest is 3.72% compounded monthly. Round the answers to NPV (Option 1), and NPV (Option 2) to the nearest dollar. Round all other answers to two decimal places where applicable. 1) Find the net present value of option 1: P/Y = C/Y = N = I/Y = PV = PMT= FV = Payments (Cost) GA % Sale of equipment (Residual) GA GA LA %
