Question

Suppose you created a portfolio exactly 5 years ago of the following assets:

Common Stock A

pays a constant dividend of $.30 per quarter

245 shares

Coupon Bonds B

- CR = 7.85%; YTM = 8.15%

25 bonds

Preferred Stock C

2% Dividend Yield, $80 face value

80 shares

Zero Coupon Bonds D

Face value = $1,000

40 bonds

                        Today, assets are selling as follows:

                                    A = $33.67

                                    B = $997.15

                                    C = $84.25

                                    D = $831.15

Dollar Return _____________

B) What is the percentage return (HPR) of the portfolio over the entire 5-year period? (10 pts)

ASSETS NUMBER PRICE

Common Stock A

pays a constant dividend of $.30 per quarter

245 shares

$28.15

Coupon Bonds B

- CR = 7.85%; YTM = 8.15%

25 bonds

Preferred Stock C

2% Dividend Yield, $80 face value

80 shares

$76.12

Zero Coupon Bonds D

Face value = $1,000

40 bonds

$872.35

Explanation / Answer

A) Total dollar return of the portfolio = Dollar return of Asset A + Dollar return of Asset B + Dollar return of Asset C + Dollar return of Asset D

= 245 * [($33.67 - $28.15) + $0.30 * 4 *5] + 25 * [($997.15 - $1131.24) + 7.85% * $1000] + 80 * [($84.25 - $76.12) + 2% * $80] + 40 * ($831.15 - $872.35)

= $2822.40 - $1389.75 + $778.40 - $1648.00

= $563.05

B) Percentage return (HPR) = [Total value at the end of 5 years / Initial value - 1] * 100%

= [(245 * $28.15 + 25 * $1131.24 + 80 * $76.12 + 40 * $872.35 + $563.05) / (245 * $28.15 + 25 * $1131.24 + 80 * $76.12 + 40 * $872.35) - 1] * 100%

= [($76161.35 + $563.05) / $76161.35 - 1] * 100%

= 0.7392%
