A

Answer to Problem 4PS
The present values of the portfolio= $ 118,421
Explanation of Solution
The expected cash flow is determined by the summation of the product of the probability with the cash flow in two scenarios.
Cash flow = $ 70,000 with probability 0.5
Cash flow = $200,000 with probability 0.5
The assumed cash flow = $135,000
Mentioned risk premium = 8%
Mentioned risk-free rate = 6%
Mentioned rate of return = 14%
The
Put the given values in Equ (1)
The present value of the portfolio = $118,421
B
To calculate:The assumed rate of return of the portfolio is to be determined.
Introduction:The present value of portfolio is defined as the present value of the future amount of money or called as stream of cash flow with identified rate of return.
B

Answer to Problem 4PS
The assumed rate of return = $135,000

The assumed rate of return = $135,000
C
To calculate:Theamount which is paid for the portfolio at 12% risk premium is to be determined.
Introduction:The present value of portfolio is defined as the present value of the future amount of money or called as stream of cash flow with a stated rate of return.
C

Answer to Problem 4PS
The present value of the portfolio = $114,407
Explanation of Solution
Given that −
Risk premium = 12%
Risk-free rate = 6%
The present value of portfolio is ascertained by dividing assumed cash flow by identified rate of return.
Put the given values in Equ (1)
The present value of the portfolio = $114,407
D
To calculate:The relation between risk portfolio and the amount at which it sell is to be determined.
Introduction:The present value of portfolio is defined as the present value of the future amount of money or called as stream of cash flow with a expected rate of return.
D

Answer to Problem 4PS
The portfolio with higher risk will sell at lower price. The portfolio (a) will be selling at lower price.
Explanation of Solution
The current value of the portfolio (a) = $118,421
The current value of the portfolio (c) = $114,407
