5. How is the flow of investors' money into stock mutual funds related to the flow of money into bond mutual funds? Data are collected on the net new money flowing into stock and bond mutual funds in the years 1985 to 2000, in billions of dollars. "Net" means that funds flowing out are subtracted from those flowing in. If more money leaves than arrives, the net flow will be negative. To eliminate the effect of inflation, all dollar amounts are in "real dollars" with constant buying power equal to that of a dollar in the year 2000. Below is Minitab output for a regression line using the stock values as the explanatory variable. Regression Analysis: Bonds versus Stocks The regression equation is Bonds = 53.4 - 0.196 Stocks Predictor Coef SE Coef T P Constant 53.41 22.99 2.32 0.036 Stocks -0.1962 0.1550 -1.27 0.226 S= 59.8813 R-Sq = 10.3% R-Sq(ad) = 3.9% (a) What is the conclusion from a test of the slope of the regression line at the 0.05 significance level? Recall that the hypotheses are H,: B, = 0 and Ha: B, # 0. Support your answer using the appropriate critical value or the appropriate p-value. (b) Give a 90% confidence interval for the slope of the regression line.

Suppose that you would like to create composite indexes from three stocks: stk1, stk2, stk3. Their stock prices (Pt) and total shares outstanding (Qt) from day 0 to day 1 are shown as follows: stk3 splits two-for-one in day 1. P0 Q0 P1 Q1 stk1 40 250 50 250 stk2 50 100 50 100 stk3 60 150 50 300 Which answer is the closest value to the rate of return on a price-weighted index of the three stocks? A. 20% B. 25% C. 30% D. 35%
Suppose that 2% of the employed lose their job each month. Further suppose that 25% of the unemployed find a job each month. a. What is the average duration of employment in this labor market? b. Do you think this is a reasonable figure given estimates of the natural rate? Why or why not? c. If you wanted to reduce the steady-state level of unemployment, what type of policies might you pursue and why?
A survey of the opinions of 12 leading Economists in a certain country showed that, because oil prices were expected to drop in that country over the next 12 months, 10 had lowered their estimate of the consumer inflation rate, 10 had raised their estimate of the gross national product (GNP) growth rate. 2 had lowered their estimate of the consumer inflation rate but had not raised their estimate of the GNP growth rate. How many Economists had raised their estimate of GNP growth rate and lowered their estimate of the consumer inflation rate for that period?
Suppose that a life insurance company insures 1 million 50-year-old people in a given year. (Assume a death rate of 5 per 1000 people.) The cost of the premium is $200 per year, and the death benefit is $50,000 What is the expected profit or loss for the insurance company?
Discuss two extensions to the original GARCH (p,q) model and explain additional characteristics of financial data they might be able to capture.
Suppose we have the following returns for large-company stocks and Treasury bills over a six-year period: Year Large-Company US Treasury Bill 1 3.97 6.59 2 14.34 4.42 3 19.23 4.29 4 −14.45 7.32 5 −31.94 5.28 6 37.47 5.38 a. Calculate the arithmetic average returns for large-company stocks and T-bills over this time period. (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) b. Calculate the standard deviation of the returns for large-company stocks and T-bills over this time period. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) c-1. Calculate the observed risk premium in each year for the large-company stocks versus the T-bills. What was the arithmetic average risk premium over this period? (A negative answer should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer…
Table 217 of the 2006 U.S. Statistical Abstract shows that, among all 25–34 year olds, the average annual earnings of a high school graduate with no further education was $26,073 while the average annual earnings of a college graduate with no further education was $43,794 in 2003. a. Assuming college requires five years, show that the annual return to each year of college education averages 10.9 percent. b. It is typically thought that this type of calculation of the returns to schooling is biased because it doesn’t take into account innate ability (i.e., ability in the workplace not due to college) or innate motivation. If this criticism is true, is the actual return to each year of a college education more than or less than 10.9 percent?
Suppose that a life insurance company insures 900,000 fifty-year-old people in a given year. (Assume a death rate of 8 per 1000 people.) The cost of the premium is $500 per year, and the death benefit is $45,000. What is the expected profit or loss for the insurance company?
The Majoring in Money study by Sallie Mae from December 2015 showed that most college students manage their credit cards in a reasonable way. It showed that almost two-thirds of students pay their credit card balance in full every month and 25% of students who own credit cards make partial payments that exceed the minimum amount due. You are curious to find out if credit card payment behavior of students has changed since 2015 and collect data from a random sample of 370 students. You find that 71 students are making partial payments on their credit cards that exceed the minimum amount due. Using α=0.01, complete parts a and b below.
In a market in which the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) model holds, the expected return is given by E[R].
If the expected return on the market is 8% and the risk free rate is 4% and the expected return is 12%, what is the market risk premium ?
In August 2011, Bank of Hawaii (BOH) stock cost $45 per share, yielded 4% per year in dividends, and had a risk index of 3.0 per share, while JPMorgan Chase (JPM) stock cost $40 per share, yielded 2.5% per year in dividends, and had a risk index of 2.0 per share.† You have up to $25,000 to invest in these stocks, and would like to earn at least $796 in dividends over the course of a year. (Assume the dividends to be unchanged for the year.) How many shares (to the nearest tenth of a unit) of each stock should you purchase to meet your requirements and minimize the total risk index for your portfolio?
