You manage a risky portfolio with an expected rate of return of 20% and a standard deviation of 36%. The T-bill rate is 5%. Your client’s degree of risk aversion is A = 1.6, assuming a utility function U = E(r) - ½Aσ².

A small business owner visits his bank to ask for a loan. The owner states that he can repay a loan at $1,800 per month for the next three years and then $800 per month for two years after that. If the bank is charging customers 9.25 percent APR, how much would it be willing to lend the business owner? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)

Consider historical data showing that the average annual rate of return on the S&P 500 portfolio over the past 85 years has averaged roughly 8% more than the Treasury bill return and that the S&P 500 standard deviation has been about 24% per year. Assume these values are representative of investors' expectations for future performance and that the current T-bill rate is 3%.

Calculate the utility levels of each portfolio for an investor with A = 2. Assume the utility function is U = E(r) − 0.5 × Aσ². (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

RETURN ON EQUITY AND QUICK RATIO

Lloyd Inc. has sales of $350,000, a net income of $35,000, and the following balance sheet:

The new owner thinks that inventories are excessive and can be lowered to the point where the current ratio is equal to the industry average, 2.5x, without affecting sales or net income.

1. If inventories are sold and not replaced (thus reducing the current ratio to 2.5x); if the funds generated are used to reduce common equity (stock can be repurchased at book value); and if no other changes occur, by how much will the ROE change?
