USE FOR QUESTION 6 TO 10

James is considering investment in the following securities whose random returns are
given below:

SECURITY X SECURITY Y SECURITY Z


Return Probability Return Probability Return Probability

N N N

27,000 0.5 15.000 0.1 20,000 0.4

30,000 0.2 22,000 0.3 25,000 0.2

35.000 0.1 27.000 0.2 30,000 0.3

40,000 0.2 30.000 0.4 35,000 0.1

6. What is the expected value of Security Y a. N25.000 b.N31,000 c. N25.500


d N27.500
Expected Value of Security Y

E (Y) where E(Y) = RiPi

Ri = Return @ time i

Pi = Probability of Return @ time i

From the given information:

E(Y) = (15,000 x 0.1) + (22,000 x 0.3) + (27,000 x 0.2) + (30,000 x 0.4)

= N25,000 (c)

7. The variance of security X is a. N23,250.000 b. N27,500,000 (c) 26,000.000


d. None of the above
The variance of security X = var (X)

But;

Var (X) = E(X2) – [E(x)]2

Where E(X2) =  Ri2 x Pi

E(x) =  Ri x Pi
E(x2) = [[(27,000)2 𝑥 0.5] + [(30,000)2 𝑥 0.2]

= N987,000,000

E(x) = (27,000 x 0.5) + (30,000 x 0.5) + (35,000 x 0.1) + (40,000 x 0.2)

= 31,000

Therefore:

Var(x) = 987,000,000 – (31,000)2

= 987,000,000 – 961,000,000

Var(x) = 26,000,000 (C)

8. The Standard deviation of security Z is a. N5,099 b. N4,S22 c. N5.220


d. None of the above.
Standard Deviation of Security Z
= √Var Z = √(Z2 ) − [(Z]2
(Z) = (20,000 x 0.4) + (25,000 x 0.2) + (30,000 x 0.3) + (35,000 x 0.1)
(Z) = 25,000
(Z2) = (20,0002 x 0.4) + (25,0002 x 0.2) + (20,0002 x 0.3) + (35,0002 x 0.1)
(Z2) = 677,500,000

√Var (Z) = √677,500,000 − (25,5000)2

= √27,250,000
= 5,220 (C)

9. The coefficient of variation of security Y is a. 16% b. 18% c. 20% d. 19%

Co-efficient of Variation (COV) on Security Y.

= 673,500,000
Var(Y) = 6.73,500,000 - (25,500)2
= 23,250,000

Standard Deviation of Y

= 18.90911914% ≃ 19%

10. If James is a risk averse investor, which security would you recommend to him
a. Security Y b. Security X c. Security A d. Security Z
Since James is a Risk averse Investor, It means he will choose the security with
the lowest co-efficient of variation i.e. a less Risky Security.

plan of the rate of return is 15%. a. 33,521.55 b. 67,423.81 c. 20,113.67 d.
None of the above

This is an ordinary annuity with Annuity of N10,000 yearly for 5 years with an
interest rate of 15%.
Therefore:

(1+0.15)5 − 1)
FV = 10,000 ( )

13. How long will it take an investment to triple itself with 45% return on
investment? a. 7years b. 10 years c. 3 years d. 3 months
This is a lump sum:
r = 0.45, n=?
Let X be the investment and also the present value from the question:
Investment (1 + r)n
3x x (1+0.45)n
=

3 = (1 + 0.45)n
Loge both sides
log 𝑒 3 = log 𝑒 (1 + 0.45)n
log 𝑒 3 = nlog 𝑒 (1.45)
Divide both sides by log 𝑒 1.45

year? (a) N10,725.00 (b) N10,028.00 (c) N10,498.00 (d) N13,231.00

This is a lump Sum:

Interest is compounded continuously r = 0.07


n = 4
Future Value = Pern
10,000 x e0.07x4
10,000 x (1.323129812)

15. The future value of N100,000.00 invested for 10 years at 15% is (a) 404,555.77
(b) 1,000,000.00 (c) 115,000.00 (d) 2,030.371.82

This is a lump Sum (Interest)


So; r = 0.15, n = 10, P = 100,000
FV = 100,000 (1.15)10
= 404,555.7736 (A)

r = ?, n = 5
From the given information, Let X be the present value future value = 2x
Recall FV = PV(1 + r)n
2x = x(1+r)n
D.B.S by x

Future Value: Investment (1 + r)n


Where investment is the present value:

62,500,000 (1.15)3
62,500,000(1.52087.5)

So; 1,966,941 is the amount available for him to spend from age 65 to 85 when
he will die.
n = 85 – 65 = 20years.
Let X be the amount he will spend annually from retirement until he die @ 85.

Mr. Drogba bought a property worth N200,000 and made a down payment of N90,000
while the remaining balance is to be paid back by installment for the years at an
agreed interest rate of 20% annually.

41. What was the balance left after the down payment or initial deposit? (a)N97,836
(b) N10,000 (c) N90,000 (d) N32,000

Let X be the amount of annual installment = The Equation will be given as:
𝟏−𝟏.𝟐−𝟓
200,000 = 90,000 + x( )

The balance left down payment is N110,000 (B)

42. What was the ending balance at end of first years? (a) N95,219 (b) N97,836 (c)
N110,000 (d) N90,000

From (1) in Q(4i), make (x) the subject of the formula:

1−1.25
110,000 = x ( )
0.2

110,000 = x (2.99061214)
110,000
x = ( )
2.99061214

x = 36,781.76738
Since the Annual Installmental payment is 36,781.76738, the closing Balance
can be derived by constructing amortization schedule.
