1)Your grandparents would like to establish a trust fund that will pay you and your heirs $175,000 per year forever with the first payment 13 years from today. If the trust fund earns an annual return of 3.4 percent, how much must your grandparents deposit today?

All investors who take on risk will hold the identical portfolios of risky assets.
   

A stock with high risk, measured as standard deviation of returns, will have high expected returns in equilibrium.
   

Individual investors are price setters.
   

None of the above.

1)please see the attached file.

2)

In this case, we have the below mentioned inputs

Bill Value = $10 million

Bank charges = .60%

Hence Total Bill charges = $10000000*.60%

= $60000

Therefore, the issuer will receive = Bill value less Bank charges

= $10000000-$60000

= $9940000

Now, lets calculate the receipt of Bank on maturity of Bill discounted.

Scenario 1 which is interest rate of 4.8% p.a.

We have to calculate interest on $1 million for 90 days and formula will be $10000000*4.8%*90/360 ( assuming 1 year = 360 days)

Total interest = $480000*90/360

= $120000

Answer = The value of first parcel @4.8% = Bill Value+Interest= $10000000+$120000 = $10120000

 

Scenario 2 which is interest rate of 4.65%

We have to calculate interest on $1 million for 90 days and formula will be $10000000*4.65%*90/360 ( assuming 1 year = 360 days)

Total interest = $465000*90/360

= $116250

Answer = The value of first parcel @4.65% = Bill Value+Interest= $10000000+$116250 = $10116250

 

Scenario 3 which is interest rate of 4.65%

We have to calculate interest on $1 million for 90 days and formula will be $10000000*5.00%*90/360 ( assuming 1 year = 360 days)

Total interest = $500000*90/360

= $125000

Answer = The value of first parcel @5.00% = Bill Value+Interest= $10000000+$125000 = $10125000

Hence from the above calculation, we found that from Issuer's perspective the value will be $9940000

And from Bank;s perspective the value of first, second and third parcel will be $120000, $116250 and $125000 respectively

4)

Stock Alpha = a = 2%, Stock Beta = B = 1.1 and Market Return = Rm = 12 % and let the idiosyncratic return be e

Actual Return = R = 15 %

Therefore, as per the single-index mode:

R = a + B x Rm + e

15 = 2 + 1.1 x 12 + e

e = 15 - 2 - 13.2 = - 0.2 %

Hence, the correct option is (c)
