Instructions: Candidates should read carefully the instructions printed on the question
paper and on the cover of the Answer Book, which is provided for their use.
1) Question No.1 is compulsory.
2) Out of remaining questions, attempt any 4 questions.
3) In all 5 questions to be attempted.
4) Alll questions carry equal marks.
5) Answer to each new question to be started on a fresh page.
6) Figures in brackets on the right hand side indicate full marks.
7) Assume Suitable data if necessary
1 (a) i) Suppose you buy 100 shares of Abolishing Corporation at the beginning of year 1 for
$80. Abolishing Corporation pays no dividends. The stock price at the end of year i is $100,
$120 at the end of year 2, and $150 at the end of year 3. The stock price declines to $100 at the
end of year 4, and you sell your 100 shares. Calculate geometric average return for 4 years. (2)
ii) . Suppose you purchase one share of the stock of Volatile Engineering Corporation at the
beginning of year 1 for $36. At the end of year 1, you receive a $2 dividend, and buy one more
share for $30. At the end of year 2, you receive total dividends of $4 (i.e., $2 for each share), and
sell the shares for $36.45 each. Calculate the dollar-weighted return on your investment. (2)
iii) Suppose you purchase one share of the stock of Cereal Correlation Company at the
beginning of year 1 for $30. At the end of year 1, you receive a $1 dividend, and buy one more
share for $72. At the end of year 2, you receive total dividends of $2 (i.e., $1 for each share), and
sell the shares for $67.20 each. Calculate the time-weighted return on your investment. (2)
1 (b). The following data are available relating to the performance of Monarch Stock Fund and
the market portfolio: (3*2=6)
{ Average Retum — | Standard Residual Variance [Bea
Deviation
Monarch | 16% 26% 1% Lis
Market Portfolio | 12% [22% % 1
Va‘The risk-free return during the sample period was 4%.
1. Calculate Sharpe's measure of performance for Monarch Stock Fund.
I. Calculate Treynor's measure of performance for Monarch Stock Fund.
Il, Calculate Jensen's measure of performance for Monarch Stock Fund.
2, Assume you are considering a portfolio containing two assets, A and B. Asset A will
represent 49% of the dollar value of the portfolio, and asset B will account for the other 55%.
‘The expected returns over next 6 years, 2009-14, for each of these assets are summarized in the
following table. (12)
Retumon | Return on
Calculate the average return and standard deviation of returns for Assets A and B. Find the
portfolio’s expected return for EACH of the 6 years. Calculate the (arithmetic) average expected
portfolio return, over the 6-year period. Calculate the standard deviation of expected portfolio
retums, over the 6-year period. How would you characterize the correlation of the returns of the
two assets A and B (no calculations are necessary)? Discuss any benefits of diversification
achieved through creation of the portfolio,
3. Please help Mr. David in constructing an optimum portfolio if the expected market return is
15%, market variance is 20% and risk free rate of return is 8%. With the help of given
information. (12)
