1、1TUTORIAL SESSION 01CHAPTER 011. Discuss the agency problem.2. Discuss the similarities and differences between real and financial assets. 3. Discuss the following ongoing trends as they relate to the field of investments: globalization, financial engineering, securitization, and computer networks.C
2、HAPTER 02Use the following to answer questions 1 to 3:Consider the following three stocks:1. The price-weighted index constructed with the three stocks is A) 30 B) 40 C) 50 D) 60 E) 70 Answer: B Difficulty: Easy Rationale: ($40 + $70 + $10)/3 = $40.2. The value-weighted index constructed with the th
3、ree stocks using a divisor of 100 is A) 1.2 B) 1200 C) 490 D) 4900 E) 49 Answer: C Difficulty: Moderate Rationale: The sum of the value of the three stocks divided by 100 is 490: ($40 x 200) + ($70 x 500) + ($10 x 600) /100 = 4903. Assume at these prices the value-weighted index constructed with the
4、 three stocks is 490. What would the index be if stock B is split 2 for 1 and stock C 4 for 1? A) 265 B) 430 C) 355 2D) 490 E) 1000 Answer: D Difficulty: Moderate Rationale: Value-weighted indexes are not affected by stock splits.4. An investor purchases one municipal and one corporate bond that pay
5、 rates of return of 8% and 10%, respectively. If the investor is in the 20% marginal tax bracket, his or her after tax rates of return on the municipal and corporate bonds would be _ and _, respectively. A) 8% and 10% B) 8% and 8% C) 6.4% and 8% D) 6.4% and 10% E) 10% and 10% Answer: B Difficulty: M
6、oderate Rationale: rc = 0.10(1 - 0.20) = 0.08, or 8%; rm = 0.08(1 - 0) = 8%.5. A 5.5% 20-year municipal bond is currently priced to yield 7.2%. For a taxpayer in the 33% marginal tax bracket, this bond would offer an equivalent taxable yield of: A) 8.20%. B) 10.75%. C) 11.40%. D) 4.82%. E) none of t
7、he above. Answer: B Difficulty: Moderate Rationale: 0.072 = rm (1-t); 0.072 = rm / (0.67); rm = 0.1075 = 10.75%6. In order for you to be indifferent between the after tax returns on a corporate bond paying 8.5% and a tax-exempt municipal bond paying 6.12%, what would your tax bracket need to be? A)
8、33% B) 72% C) 15% D) 28% E) Cannot tell from the information given .0612 = .085(1-t); (1-t) = 0.72; t = .287. Suppose an investor is considering a corporate bond with a 7.17% before-tax yield and a municipal bond with a 5.93% before-tax yield. At what marginal tax rate would the investor be indiffer
9、ent between investing in the corporate and investing in the muni? A) 15.4% B) 23.7% C) 39.5% D) 17.3% E) 12.4% tm = 1 - (5.93%/7.17%) = 17.29%Use the following to answer questions 8 to 9:38. Based on the information given, for a price-weighted index of the three stocks calculate: A) the rate of retu
10、rn for the first period (t=0 to t=1). B) the value of the divisor in the second period (t=2). Assume that Stock A had a 2-1 split during this period. C) the rate of return for the second period (t=1 to t=2). A. The price-weighted index at time 0 is (70 + 85 + 105)/3 = 86.67. The price-weighted index
11、 at time 1 is (72 + 81 + 98)/3 = 83.67. The return on the index is 83.67/86.67 - 1 = -3.46%.B. The divisor must change to reflect the stock split. Because nothing else fundamentally changed, the value of the index should remain 83.67. So the new divisor is (36 + 81 + 98)/83.67 = 2.57. The index valu
12、e is (36 + 81 + 98)/2.57 = 83.67. C. The rate of return for the second period is 83.67/83.67 - 1 = 0.00%9. Based on the information given for the three stocks, calculate the first-period rates of return (from t=0 to t=1) on A) a market-value-weighted index. B) an equally-weighted index. C) a geometr
13、ic index. A. The total market value at time 0 is $70 * 200 + $85 * 500 + $105 * 300 = $88,000. The total market value at time 1 is $72 * 200 + $81 * 500 + $98 * 300 = $84,300. The return is $84,300/$88,000 - 1 = -4.20%. B. The return on Stock A for the first period is $72/$70 - 1 = 2.86%. The return
14、 on Stock B for the first period is $81/$85 - 1 = -4.71%. The return on Stock C for the first period is $98/$105 - 1 = -6.67%. The return on an equally weighted index of the three stocks is (2.86% - 4.71% - 6.67%)/3 = -2.84%C. The geometric average return is (1+.0286)(1-.0471)(1-.0667)(1/3)-1 = (1.0
15、286)(0.9529)(0.9333)0.3333 -1 = -2.92%10. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of common stock ownership, relative to other investment alternatives.CHAPTER 031. Assume you purchased 200 shares of XYZ common stock on margin at $70 per share from your broker. If the initial margin is 55%, how much
16、 did you borrow from the broker? A) $6,000 B) $4,000 C) $7,700 D) $7,000 E) $6,300 Answer: E Difficulty: Moderate Rationale: 200 shares * $70/share * (1-0.55) = $14,000 * (0.45) = $6,300.42. You sold short 200 shares of common stock at $60 per share. The initial margin is 60%. Your initial investmen
17、t was A) $4,800. B) $12,000. C) $5,600. D) $7,200. E) none of the above. Answer: D Difficulty: Moderate Rationale: 200 shares * $60/share * 0.60 = $12,000 * 0.60 = $7,2003. You purchased 100 shares of ABC common stock on margin at $70 per share. Assume the initial margin is 50% and the maintenance m
18、argin is 30%. Below what stock price level would you get a margin call? Assume the stock pays no dividend; ignore interest on margin. A) $21 B) $50 C) $49 D) $80 E) none of the above Answer: B Difficulty: Difficult Rationale: 100 shares * $70 * .5 = $7,000 * 0.5 = $3,500 (loan amount); 0.30 = (100P
19、- $3,500)/100P; 30P = 100P - $3,500; -70P = -$3,500; P = $50.4. You purchased 100 shares of common stock on margin at $45 per share. Assume the initial margin is 50% and the stock pays no dividend. What would the maintenance margin be if a margin call is made at a stock price of $30? Ignore interest
20、 on margin. A) 0.33 B) 0.55 C) 0.43 D) 0.23 E) 0.25 Answer: E Difficulty: Difficult Rationale: 100 shares * $45/share * 0.5 = $4,500 * 0.5 = $2,250 (loan amount); X = 100($30) - $2,250/100($30); X = 0.25.5. You purchased 300 shares of common stock on margin for $60 per share. The initial margin is 6
21、0% and the stock pays no dividend. What would your rate of return be if you sell the stock at $45 per share? Ignore interest on margin. A) 25% B) -33% C) 44% D) -42% E) 54% Answer: D Difficulty: Difficult Rationale: 300($60)(0.60) = $10,800 investment; 300($60) = $18,000 *(0.40) = $7,200 loan; Proce
22、eds after selling stock and repaying loan: $13,500 - $7,200 = $6,300; Return = ($6,300 - $10,800)/$10,800 = - 41.67%.6. Assume you sell short 100 shares of common stock at $45 per share, with initial margin at 50%. What would be your rate of return if you repurchase the stock at 5$40/share? The stoc
23、k paid no dividends during the period, and you did not remove any money from the account before making the offsetting transaction. A) 20% B) 25% C) 22% D) 77% E) none of the above Answer: C Difficulty: Moderate Rationale: Profit on stock = ($45 - $40) * 100 = $500, $500/$2,250 (initial investment) =
24、 22.22%7. You want to purchase XYZ stock at $60 from your broker using as little of your own money as possible. If initial margin is 50% and you have $3000 to invest, how many shares can you buy? A) 100 shares B) 200 shares C) 50 shares D) 500 shares E) 25 shares Answer: A Difficulty: ModerateRation
25、ale: .5 = (Q * $60)-$3,000 / (Q * $60); $30Q = $60Q-$3,000; $30Q = $3,000; Q=100.8. You buy 300 shares of Qualitycorp for $30 per share and deposit initial margin of 50%. The next day Qualitycorps price drops to $25 per share. What is your actual margin? A) 50% B) 40% C) 33% D) 60% E) 25% Answer: B
26、Difficulty: Moderate Rationale: AM = 300 ($25) - .5 (300) ($30) / 300 ($25) = .409. You sold short 100 shares of common stock at $45 per share. The initial margin is 50%. Your initial investment was A) $4,800. B) $12,000. C) $2,250. D) $7,200. E) none of the above. Answer: C Difficulty: Moderate Rat
27、ionale: 100 shares * $45/share * 0.50 = $4,500 * 0.50 = $2,25010. List three factors that are listing requirements for the New York Stock Exchange. Why does the exchange have such requirements?
