In a recent 5-year period, mutual fund manager Goldie Touch produced the following percentage rates of return for the Mesozoic Fund. Rates of return on the market index are given for comparison. Calculate:

1. the average return on both the fund and the index
2. the standard deviation of the returns on each.
3. Did Ms. Goldie Touch do better or worse than the market index on these measures?   

   	1	2	3	4	5
   Fund	-1.2	+24.8	+40.7	+11.1	+0.3
   Market Index	-0.9	+16.0	+31.7	+10.9	-0.7

Roger has a levered cost of equity of 0.18. He is thinking of investing in a project with upfront costs of $8 million, which pays $1 million per year for the next 8 years. He is going to borrow $2 million to offset the startup costs at a rate of 0.08. His tax rate is 0.3. He will repay this loan at the end of the project. What is the NPV of this project, using the FTE method?

1. Consider a‘‘duel’’ between two players. Let’s call these players H and D.Now,we have historical information on each because this is not their first duel. H will kill at long range with probability 0.3 and at short range with probability 0.8. D will kill at long range with probability 0.4 and at short range with probability 0.6. Let’s consider a system that awards 10 points for a kill for each player. Build a payoff matrix by computing the expected values as the payoff for each player. Solve the game.

Suppose that the index model for stocks A and B is estimated from excess returns with the following results:

R_A =0.03 + 0.7R_M + e_A

R_B = -0.02 + 1.2R_M + e_B

σ_M = 0.2

R-square_A = 0.3;

R-square_B = 0.25

Assume you create for portfolio Q with investment proportions of 0.50 in P, 0.30 in the market index, and 0.20 in T-bills, portfolio P is composed of 60% Stock A and 40% Stock B. What is the standard deviation of the portfolio Q?

Using the following information, calculate the expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio with 50 percent in ABC and 50 percent in DEF. Then calculate the expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio where you invest 40 percent in ABC, 40 percent in DEF, and the rest in T-bills with a return of 3.5 percent.

Stocks A and B have the following returns in each of the states given below.

The probability of the good state is 0.5, the probability of the bad state is 0.3 and the probability of the ugly state is 0.2. What is the covariance between the returns of A and B? (Hint: The expected return of A is 10.5% and the expected return of B is 6%) What is the covariance between the return of A and the return of a risk-free asset which has an expected return of 5%?

A journal published a study of the lifestyles of visually impaired students. Using​ diaries, the students kept track of several​ variables, including number of hours of sleep obtained in a typical day. These visually impaired students had a mean of 9.06hours and a standard deviation of 2.11 hours. Assume that the distribution of the number of hours of sleep for this group of students is approximately normal. Complete parts a through c.

A. Find P(x<6)

b. Find P(8≤x≤10)

c. Find the value a for which P(x<a)= 0.3

8. For each of the following, identify the distribution based on the MGF. Be sure to specify name of distribution and value(s) of parameter(s).

(a) MX(t) = (0.3 + 0.7 e t ) 9 , t ∈ (−∞,∞).

(b) MX(t) = 0.8 e t + 0.2, t ∈ (−∞,∞).

(c) MX(t) = e 9(e t−1), t ∈ (−∞,∞).

(d) MX(t) = 0.75e t 1−0.25e t , t < − ln 0.25.

(e) MX(t) = 0.4e t 1−0.6e t 20, t < − ln 0.6.

The price elasticity of demand for ambulatory mental health services appears to be about - 0.8, and the price elasticity for general ambulatory medical services appears to be about -0.3. How much would spending increase for each type of care if copays were cut from $40 to $25? *Hint: Need to find out how much the copay decreased by in percentage and that will give you the percentage change in price to plug into your elasticity formula.
