Your aunt has $30,000 in a saving account that pays 0.5% annual interest, and her son has told her that she could make more if she invests into the financial markets. She knows that you are a savvy financial analyst and comes to you for help. Moreover, she tells you that she does not want to invest in individual stocks but in well-diversified portfolios. Since you wanted to make sure that you propose an asset allocation that better fits her risk aversion, you asked her to complete the investor profile questionnaire and found out that a "moderate allocation" would work well for her. You proudly tell her that the easy way to hold well-diversified portfolios is through mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). You proposed that she opens a trading account and to use mutual funds and ETFs to match her target asset allocation. However, she wants to know more about these securities before investing and asks you: what are the advantages and disadvantages of mutual funds versus…
As a finance intern at Pork Products, Jennifer Wainwright’s assignment is to come up with fresh insights concerning the firm’s cost of capital. She decides that this would be a good opportunity to try out the new material on the APT that she learned last semester. She decides that three promising factors would be (a) the return on a broad-based index such as the S&P 500; (b) the level of interest rates, as represented by the yield to maturity on 10-year Treasury bonds; and (c) the price of hogs, which is particularly important to her firm. Her plan is to find the beta of Pork Products against each of these factors by using a multiple regression and to estimate the risk premium associated with each exposure factor. Comment on Jennifer’s choice of factors. Which are most promising with respect to the likely impact on her firm’s cost of capital? Can you suggest improvements to her specification?
