In theorectical case: Let X= amount that invested into stock F and Y= amount that invested into stock G....... So we derive two equations with two unknown i.e. X and Y: X+Y=1000 ............equation 1 1.22X+1.16Y=1.2(1000) 1.22X+1.16Y=1200 ................equation 2 Hence: We get X=666.67 and Y=333.33 (answer to the nearest two decimal figures!) Mr. Huang invest Sgd. 666.67 in stock F and Sgd. 333.33 in stock G. Ha. ha.. ha... Q.E.F. simple algebraic solution.

Amount to invest in F is 16/18x1000 = 888.89 and 111.11 in stock G. | ||||

Since you stated both stock F and stock G are not ABSOLUTE expected returns of 22% and 16% respectively. So we must still consider there still a risk of mis-getting the expected return of both investing above stocks! Hence, Mr. Huang should invest all of his money to purely stock F to get the nearest equal to 20% return of his portfolio value!!!

Let me show u a sample of some questions from a financial economics course.. this is totally head cracking..!! Stock's F expected return is 22% and Stock G's expected return is 16%. Mr Huang has $1000 to invest and wants the expected return of his portfolio to be 20%. How much should Mr Huang invest in Stock F and how much in Stock G? Solve. THis is totally siao right... |

The extra costs incurred is $200. However, since robert only own 50% of red company. He only needs to pay 50% of the extra costs which is $100. | ||||

The answer is 100 dollar , We, the robert , as shareholders of TM ( our cpf saving and soverign fund) also two local company with shares belonging to TM to drive up the price to view EPL, we are not paying 100 dollar more , we are paying 100 million more! imagine starhub still bid it at 200 million , singtel could save up to 300 million which translated to 150 million to TM. Why this weird dicussion? I really dont understand why these two companies compete not for our benefits ? I need experts to explain to me. I am stupid and really dont understand. The problem of having two boxes at home was the reason i turned stupid. |

I do have a very simple mathematics question for everyone in singapore to solve. it isnt that difficult ,maybe primary school students can even solve it , but not some CEOs of some companies . Here is this math question Robert de Carrot owns 50% of both ice-cream stalls, the Red one and the Green one, in school. Both are selling ice-cream to students here. If the Red one outbid the green one by 200 dollar more , how much EXTRA must robert pay for this weird decision ? |
