A
To calculate:The amount which is paid for the portfolio is 8% risk premium is to be determined.
Introduction:The present values of portfolio is defined as the contemporary values of the subsequent amount of money or called as stream of cash flow with defined
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 present value of portfolio is determined by dividing assumed cash flow by stated rate of return.
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
Explanation of Solution
The assumed rate of the return is calculated by the following formula −
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
The portfolio with higher risk will be selling at lower price and providing extra discount from assumed price is a consequence of risk.

- Consider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $75,000with a probability of 25%, $125,000 with a probability of 50%, or $140,000 with a probability of 25%.The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 4% per year. a) If you require a risk premium of 8%, how much will you be willing to pay for the portfolio?b) What is the Sharpe ratio of the portfolio if you can purchase it at the price calculated above?arrow_forwardConsider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $75,000 or $330,000 with equal probabilities of 0.5. The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 3% per year. Now suppose that you require a risk premium of 12%. What price are you willing to pay?.arrow_forwardConsider a risky portfolio. The end-of-year cash flow derived from the portfolio will be either $110,000 or $280,000 with equal probabilities of .5. The alternative risk-free investment in T-bills pays 6% per year. Now suppose that you require a risk premium of 10%. What is the price that you will be willing to pay? (Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar amount.)arrow_forward
- Suppose that you have $1 million and the following two opportunities from which to construct a portfolio:a. Risk-free asset earning 12% per year.b. Risky asset with expected return of 30% per year and standard deviation of 40%.If you construct a portfolio with a standard deviation of 30%, what is its expected rate of return?arrow_forwardYou are considering investing $10,000 in a risky portfolio. The value of the risky portfolio in a year can be one of the following four scenarios. State probability Portfolio values Best 10% $13,000Good 30%. $11,000Average 40%. $10,500Recess. 20% $8,000 a) Your power utility function has a gamma value of 2. Find your certainty equivalent of the risky investment. b) If you have an opportunity to invest in the risk-free asset yielding a continuously compounding annual rate of 9%, determine your investment choice between the above risky portfolio or the risk-free asset. You must explain why.arrow_forwardSuppose you have $2,000 to invest. The market portfolio has an expected return of 10.5 percent and a standard deviation of 16 percent. The risk-free rate is 3.75 percent. How much should you invest in the risk-free asset if you wish to have a 15 percent return on the portfolio?arrow_forward

You invest $5 million in the NADAQ composite and short $4 million of Bitcoin. The NASDAQ composite has standard deviation of returns of 15% pa; Bitcoin has standard deviation of returns of 20%. The two assets have a correlation of 0.8. Assuming a 250 day year, what is the 30 day VaR? arrow_forwardSuppose you owned a portfolio consisting of $250,000 of long-term U.S. government bonds.a. Would your portfolio be riskless? Explain.b. Now suppose the portfolio consists of $250,000 of 30-day Treasury bills. Every 30 daysyour bills mature, and you will reinvest the principal ($250,000) in a new batch ofbills.

What is the least risky security you can think of? Explain.arrow_forward
