#3) An investor purchases 300 shares of ABC stock for a $15 a share and immediately sells 2 covered call contracts at a strike price of $20 a share. The premium is $2 a share. What is the maximum profit and loss?
Maximum Profit:
(Strike Price – Stock Purchase Price + Premium) (# shares purchased)
($20 – $15 + $2)(300) = $2,100
Maximum Loss: (Stock Purchase Price – Premium) (# shares purchased)
($15 – $2) (300) = $3,900
Is this the correct answer and method? If not, please explain in detail.
#4) You are an analyst comparing the performance of 2 portfolio managers using the Sharpe Ratio measurement. Manager A shows a return of 16% with a standard deviation of 10% while manager B shows a return of 12% with a standard deviation of 6%. If the risk-free rate is 5%, which manager has the better risk adjusted return?
Sharpe Ratio = S = (Ri – rf)/standard deviation
Ri = Portfolio Return
rf = Risk-Free Rate
Sharpe Ratio (A) = (0.16 – 0.05)/0.10 = 1.1
Sharpe Ratio (B) = (0.12 – 0.05)/0.06 = 1.167 (rounded)
Manager (B) has the better adjusted return because the higher Sharpe ratio indicates that his portfolio has a lower yield but with a much lower risk than Manager (A).
Is this the correct answer and is the analysis also correct? If not, please explain in detail.

Profit Margin = Net Income / Net Sales (revenue)
-$390/$600 = -0.65
ROA = Net Income / Total Assets
-$390/$2,800 = -0.1392
ROE = Net Income / Shareholders’ Equity
-$390/$1,100 = -0.3545
Are these answers correct and is the analysis correct? If not, please explain in detail.
#6) Find the Intrinsic Value of the stock of Company ABC using the following data:
Risk-Free Rate = 5%

Beta = 0.9
ROE = 12.5%
Dividend Payout Ratio = 0.22
Dividends for the next 4 years are expected to be: 0.59, 0.67, 0.76, 0.85
