Summary Introduction

(b)
To calculate:

In this part of the problem we have to calculate standard deviation of each fund.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Standard deviation on excel can be calculated by using formula as = stdev
Then we have to choose the data accordingly to calculate standard deviation.

Summary Introduction

(d)

To Calculate:

In this question we have to calculate Sharpe, Jensen and Treynor ratio for each fund.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

All these ratios are calculated as:

Sharpe ratio=
Excess Return / standard devation Essentials of Investments (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 18, Problem 17PS , additional homework tip 1

Treynor=Excess return / Beta Essentials of Investments (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 18, Problem 17PS , additional homework tip 2
Jensen=α_P = E(r_P) − {r_f + β_P [E(r_M) − r_f]}

Article: Current Bank Problem Statement The general problem to be surveyed is that leaders lack an understanding of how to address job demands, resulting in an increase in voluntary termination, counterproductive workplace outcomes, and a loss of customers. Bank leaders discovered from customer surveys that customers are closing accounts because their rates are not competitive with area credit unions. Job demands such as a heavy workload interfered with employee performance, leading to decreased job performance. Healthcare employees who felt the organization’s benefits were not competitive were more likely to quit without notice, resulting in retention issues for the organization. Information technology leaders who provide job resources to offset job demand have seen an increase in (a) new accounts, (b) employee productivity, (c) positive workplace culture, and (d) employee retention. The specific problem to be addressed is that IT technology leaders in the information technology…

Summary Introduction

(b)
To calculate:

In this part of the problem we have to calculate standard deviation of each fund.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Standard deviation on excel can be calculated by using formula as = stdev
Then we have to choose the data accordingly to calculate standard deviation.

To Calculate:

In this question we have to calculate Sharpe, Jensen and Treynor ratio for each fund.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

All these ratios are calculated as:

Sharpe ratio=
Excess Return / standard devation Essentials of Investments (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 18, Problem 17PS , additional homework tip 1

Treynor=Excess return / Beta Essentials of Investments (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 18, Problem 17PS , additional homework tip 2
Jensen=α_P = E(r_P) − {r_f + β_P [E(r_M) − r_f]}

Summary Introduction

(b)
To calculate:

In this part of the problem we have to calculate standard deviation of each fund.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Standard deviation on excel can be calculated by using formula as = stdev
Then we have to choose the data accordingly to calculate standard deviation.

Summary Introduction

(d)

To Calculate:

In this question we have to calculate Sharpe, Jensen and Treynor ratio for each fund.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

All these ratios are calculated as:

Sharpe ratio=
Excess Return / standard devation Essentials of Investments (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 18, Problem 17PS , additional homework tip 1

Treynor=Excess return / Beta Essentials of Investments (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 18, Problem 17PS , additional homework tip 2
Jensen=α_P = E(r_P) − {r_f + β_P [E(r_M) − r_f]}

Summary Introduction

(b)
To calculate:

In this part of the problem we have to calculate standard deviation of each fund.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Standard deviation on excel can be calculated by using formula as = stdev
Then we have to choose the data accordingly to calculate standard deviation.

Summary Introduction

(d)

To Calculate:

In this question we have to calculate Sharpe, Jensen and Treynor ratio for each fund.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

All these ratios are calculated as:

Sharpe ratio=
Excess Return / standard devation Essentials of Investments (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 18, Problem 17PS , additional homework tip 1

Treynor=Excess return / Beta Essentials of Investments (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 18, Problem 17PS , additional homework tip 2
Jensen=α_P = E(r_P) − {r_f + β_P [E(r_M) − r_f]}

Summary Introduction

(b)
To calculate:

In this part of the problem we have to calculate standard deviation of each fund.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Standard deviation on excel can be calculated by using formula as = stdev
Then we have to choose the data accordingly to calculate standard deviation.

Summary Introduction

(d)

To Calculate:

In this question we have to calculate Sharpe, Jensen and Treynor ratio for each fund.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

All these ratios are calculated as:

Sharpe ratio=
Excess Return / standard devation Essentials of Investments (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 18, Problem 17PS , additional homework tip 1

Treynor=Excess return / Beta Essentials of Investments (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 18, Problem 17PS , additional homework tip 2
Jensen=α_P = E(r_P) − {r_f + β_P [E(r_M) − r_f]}

In this part of the problem we have to calculate standard deviation of each fund.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

Standard deviation on excel can be calculated by using formula as = stdev
Then we have to choose the data accordingly to calculate standard deviation.

Summary Introduction

(d)

To Calculate:

In this question we have to calculate Sharpe, Jensen and Treynor ratio for each fund.

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

All these ratios are calculated as:

Sharpe ratio=
Excess Return / standard devation Essentials of Investments (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 18, Problem 17PS , additional homework tip 1

Treynor=Excess return / Beta Essentials of Investments (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 18, Problem 17PS , additional homework tip 2
Jensen=α_P = E(r_P) − {r_f + β_P [E(r_M) − r_f]}

Answer 21

Summary Introduction

(d)

To Calculate:

In this question we have to calculate Sharpe, Jensen and Treynor ratio for each fund.

Answer 22

Expert Solution

Explanation of Solution

All these ratios are calculated as:

Sharpe ratio=
Excess Return / standard devation Essentials of Investments (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 18, Problem 17PS , additional homework tip 1

Treynor=Excess return / Beta Essentials of Investments (The Mcgraw-hill/Irwin Series in Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate), Chapter 18, Problem 17PS , additional homework tip 2
Jensen=α_P = E(r_P) − {r_f + β_P [E(r_M) − r_f]}
