OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Gimee a sec ima look over it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Everything looks fine I'm not sure how to solve 21 tho

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910 how would i correct number 2

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what is the total sum (in dollars) invested in portfolio 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not sure

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

add up the dollar figures in column 1 (where it says portfolio 1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9250

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

now multiply each ROR value by the dollar amount in the same row focus on just portfolio 1 for now

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

once you get done multiplying, add up those results and tell me what you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont understand do i have to multiply every single ror with the total sum

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ex: multiply -0.004 with 2400 to get -9.60

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

convert each percentage to decimal form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got -9.60,40.82,313.96, -35,and 102.12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

add those up to get ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

412.3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

finally, divide that by 9250 (the sum of the dollar figures)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

does that make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i got 0.044572973

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

very good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's the weighted ROR for portfolio 1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do the same for portfolio 2 and 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok are the other questions bad by the way like are they alot wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

3 and 4 are wrong

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm on 5 now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

tell me what you get for the other weighted ROR's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the order portfolio 3,2,1 @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

what weighted RORs did you get

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for portfolio 2 i got 0.048797251 and for the portfolio i got 0.087759517

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

very nice

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so yeah it's 3, 2, 1

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

3 being the best 1 being the worst

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do i fix 3,4?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let's do them one at a time

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

go here http://www.bankrate.com/calculators/mortgages/mortgage-calculator.aspx type in the given mortgage amount, rate, and time

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

then scroll to June 2025, which is exactly 10 years into the future what is the value in the last column?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

why 10 years? because of the "10" in "30/10" means that the balloon payment hits after 10 years are up the 30 means this is a 30 year fixed mortgage

OpenStudy (anonymous):

168,401.44?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

good

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that remaining balance is the balloon payment you either pay it all or refinance it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

Formula \[\Large FV = \frac{(1+i)^n - 1}{i}\] FV = unknown i = 0.0635/12 = 0.03175 n = 2*7 = 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get 17.29035 @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

way too small

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh my bad, I left out P

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

that's my fault lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large FV = P*\frac{(1+i)^n - 1}{i}\] FV = unknown P = 720*6 = 4320 i = 0.0635/12 = 0.03175 n = 2*7 = 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

74694.34

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i had it right lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

yeah I'm realizing that just now lol

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

sorry about that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok. but i probably had more when you continued to look into it @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (anonymous):

any more that i had wrong that i need to look into ?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

5 is correct

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm still on 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is going @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

nearly there, I'm on the origination fee now

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm making up a spreadsheet

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how is it going? @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I keep trying various combinations, but I'm not getting any of the answer choices

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/5487f558e4b0337e71f8b3c8 @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I vaguely remember that, but I don't remember actually calculating out the answer

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let me think

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok I'm only off by about 20 cents at this point, so it's good enough

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok #7

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

let me think about how to answer 6

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

the answer isn't B, unless I forgot something

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do you have a breakdown of each subtotal?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

I'm getting this 21956+307080+1776.44+1332.33+1397.2+621.95+12685.08+355.288 = 347,204.288

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

did you get that?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

or something similar to it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got b at first but i guess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

at least if that at the beginning @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

hmm I'm not sure now, but I think I have the right answer. I'm only off by 20 cents or so. This problem is a pain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about the rest how are they @jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

7 looks good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jim_thompson5910

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

still thinking

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

do you have the bond rate of return formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe it is yield = coupon amount/price
