C                         30,000                         1.8

D                         25,000                         1.6

Risk-free rate is 3% and the market risk premium is 8%.

If stock E with its beta of 0.6 and has an expected return of 8.2% should it be added to the portfolio?

Consider an economy with the interest rate at r = 0.25 and no growth rate. The market where firms compete is very volatile and there is a high probability h = 0.2 that the industry collapse. Would the firms accept a collusive agreement to set monopoly price and share equally the market if I = {1, 2}?

A five-year bond with a yield of 7% (continuously compounded) pays a 5.5% coupon at the end of each year.

  1. What is the bond’s price?
  2. What is the bond’s duration?
  3. Use the duration to calculate the effect on the bond’s price of a 0.3% decrease in its yield.
  4. Recalculate the bond’s price on the basis of a 6.7% per annum yield and verify that the result is in agreement with your answer to (c).

Suppose a batch of metal shafts produced in a manufacturing company have a standard deviation of 1.5 and a mean diameter of 205 inches.

If 79 shafts are sampled at random from the batch, what is the probability that the mean diameter of the sample shafts would differ from the population mean by less than 0.3 inches? Round your answer to four decimal places.
