a.

Summary Introduction

Adequate information:

Standard deviation (σ) for both markets = 10%

Expected return on every security in both markets = 10%

Beta factor in the first market (ß1) = 1.5

Beta factor in the second market (ß2) = 0.5

The return for each security, i, in the first market = R1i=0.10+1.5F+ε1i

The return for each security, j, in the second market = R2j=0.10+0.5F+ε2i

To compute: The market that would be preferred by risk-averse to invest.

Introduction: Portfolio variance refers to the measurement of the dispersion of returns. Standard deviation refers to the measurement of deviation of actual returns from average returns.

After many sunset viewings at SUNY Brockport, Amanda dreams of owning a waterfront home on Lake Ontario. She finds her perfect house listed at $425,000. Leveraging the negotiation skills she developed at school, she persuades the seller to drop the price to $405,000. What would be her annual payment if she opts for a 30-year mortgage from Five Star Bank with an interest rate of 14.95% and no down payment? a- $25,938 b- $26,196 c- $24,500 d- $27,000
Imagine that the SUNY Brockport Student Government Association (SGA) is considering investing in sustainable campus improvements. These improvements include installing solar panels, updating campus lighting to energy-efficient LEDs, and implementing a rainwater collection system for irrigation. The total initial investment required for these projects is $100,000. The projects are expected to generate savings (effectively, the cash inflows in this scenario) of $30,000 in the first year, $40,000 in the second year, $50,000 in the third year, and $60,000 in the fourth year due to reduced energy and maintenance costs. SUNY Brockport’s discount rate is 8%. What is the NPV of the sustainable campus improvements? (rounded)   a- $70,213b- $48,729c- $45,865d- $62,040
