ADM614 Grand Canyon Economic Growth and Market Dynamics Presentation
eate a PowerPoint presentation of 12-15 slides (title and reference slides are not including in this count) discussing Economic Growth and Market Dynamics. Include the following: Explain what GDP is and how is it measured.Evaluate the validity of using GDP as a measure of economic output.Assess the validity of using GDP as a measure of social progress. Which elements (e.g., education levels, carbon dioxide emissions, gender/racial inequality) does GDP not consider?Identify and describe two alternative (multidimensional) metrics that take into consideration more than the exchange value of economic output. Do those metrics capture social progress/well-being? Explain.Explain if public officials focus exclusively—or even principally—on economic growth as a measure of economic policy success. Which other factors are also salient? Why? Be sure to include graphs, charts and other visuals in your presentation that will enhance your analysis. Include speaker notes below each content-related slide that represent what would be said if giving the presentation in person. Expand upon the information included in the slide and do not simply restate it. Please ensure the speaker notes include 50-75 words per slide. While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, including an APA formatted reference slide, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

UM Finance Proposed Blended Portfolio Project
Prior to beginning work on this discussion forum, read Chapter 9, Capital Market Theory and Asset Pricing Models in the textbook Jones, C. P., & Jensen, G. R. (2020). Investments: Analysis and management (14th ed.).
Your client has asked you to create an optimal portfolio. You are planning to recommend the portfolio of equities and Treasury securities you purchased in Stock-Trak. Prepare a report for the client that justifies and explains the equity and bond portfolio for the client based on the CMT.
In your Capital Market Theory Report, include the following:
Create a table and list the values of 20 stocks you own and the Treasury securities that are in the portfolio. Include in the table
o the weight of each security.
o the beta of each security, as reported in Stock-Trak; and
o the overall weight in equities versus bonds.
o For purposes of this assignment, calculate the weights based on the blended portfolio of bonds and equities
Explain the allocation of the portfolio between Treasury securities and the equity portfolio in terms of risk preference.
Plot the equation for the capital market line. (Use the risk-free rate from the Treasury securities you purchased and the return of the portfolio on the combined equities from your Week 3 paper.)
o Label the axes and the intercept.
o Label the approximate location of this portfolio on the capital market line.
Explain to the client what the capital market line represents.
Explain to the client how they could leverage their portfolio by purchasing more equity using margin. Provide an example and an estimate of where this portfolio would be on the capital market line.
Using the betas and the historical average market returns, calculate the expected returns for each company in the portfolio using the capital asset pricing model (CAPM).
On a new graph, plot the security market line and each of the 20 equities.
Explain to the client which of the securities are overvalued and which undervalued.
Explain to the client what happens to the price and return of a security when investors recognize it as undervalued.
Create the equation for the new security market line.
Assume the risk-free rate shifts upwards by 100 basis points. Identify the impact of the change in risk-free rates on the over- or undervalued securities in the portfolio. Explain the arbitrage pricing theory (APT) to the client. Include the following in your explanation:
o The similarities and differences of the arbitrage pricing theory versus the capital market theory to the client.
o The five macroeconomic variables that researchers have identified as useful to incorporate into the APT model.
o Choose one variable and identify one equity security in the portfolio that may be influenced by this variable to a greater degree than the other equity securities in the portfolio. Explain how the client could over- or underweight this single security in the portfolio to either “sterilize” the portfolio to the risk from this variable or to outperform the market based on correct forecasts of this variable.

CSUS Intertemporal Trade Sovereign Risk & Asymmetric Information Questions
1 Intertemporal TradePresent a brief explanation for why the theory of international capital markets can be recast as a theory of international trade over time. What are key differences between trade in goods and services as compared to the exchange of capital? What gains from international investment are there beyond those of intertemporal trade? What are the risks associated with intertemporal trade?Consider the effects of capital market integration.1.1. An economy has an endowment of income of Ytoday and invests a strictly positive amount of that income Itoday for future consumption. Draw the economy’s intertem- poral production possibility frontier and demonstrate today’s consumption, today’s investment, tomorrow’s consumption, and tomorrow’s income in a closed economy.1.2. Now assume the economy has access to international capital markets at the world interest rate (1+r∗). What will this do to the economy’s consumption and investment decisions? Again, draw the economy’s intertemporal production possibility frontier and demonstrate today’s consumption, today’s investment, tomorrow’s consump- tion, and tomorrow’s production in an open economy.2 Uncertainty, Asymmetric Information and Hidden ActionExplain why the three crucial institutional conditions—verifiability of states of nature, the enforceability of contractual stipulations, and the prevention of hidden actions—are tan- tamount for the idea that “the case for free international capital markets is the same as the case for free trade but for the subscripts.” Explain why under these three institutional conditions the diversification of country risk under uncertainty provides another source of gains from intertemporal trade.3 Sovereign RiskExplain why higher default risk increases the interest rate. Provide a numerical example to illustrate your verbal explanation.Explain how a lacking willingness to repay sovereign debt (lacking international en- forceability of contractual stipulations) changes the standard case of intertemporal trade. For this purpose, elaborate the moral hazard problem associated with international debt service and default. Distinguish between ability and willingness to repay.1Explain how a provoked inability to repay sovereign debt (under hidden action) changes the standard case of intertemporal trade, and relate the idea of minimum guaranteed con- sumption to bailouts. Then explain two scenarios under which lacking willingness to repay can be concealed as lacking ability.4 Bond Values, Yields and Interest RatesSuppose a 1 dollar bond with 1 year maturity has a 1 dollar face value and is trading at a 33 percent discount. What is the market value of the bond? The contractual interest rate is 8 percent. What is the effective nominal yield on the bond?Now suppose a bond with 1 year maturity has a face value of d dollars (including prin- cipal and interest). There is a probability of 33 percent that the bond issuer (borrower) will default completely. Otherwise, the issuer will pay in full. What is the market value v of the bond? The contractual interest rate is 8 percent. What is the effective nominal yield on the bond?Suppose the default probability increases to 50 percent. What is the market value v′ of the bond now? At a contractual interest rate of 8 percent, what is the effective nominal yield on the bond now?Consider an investor. There are two bonds. One pays v′ with 100 percent certainty. The other bond pays d with a 50 percent chance, and zero otherwise. Which bond, if any, will the investor prefer?5 Debt Management and the Debt Laffer CurveTake the role of a macroeconomic consultant to a national government with an outstanding debt burden that requires management. Suppose the “Debt Laffer” Curve takes a pecu- liar kinked shape: the market value V of outstanding debt grows at a rate of 1:1 with the face value D of the debt up to a certain debt level of D and that the market value of debt subsequently stays constant.Suppose the country’s outstanding face value of debt is currently $1 billion US dollars and that one unit of the debt currently trades at 30 cents on the dollar.What is the current market value V of outstanding debt (in $)?Propose a complete strategy for the debtor country to reduce its debt burden V to the minimally possible amount, by optimally combining debt forgiveness and debt buybacks, under the condition that the debtor country is no worse off at any step in terms of net resource outflows compared to its preceding debt position. For each proposed step of your strategy– remark whether you propose forgiveness or buyback,– state the market value v of one unit of debt at the start and at the end of the step,and– state the outstanding face value D at the start and at the end of the stepCan the country fully eradicate its debt? Why or why not?Would the strategy work for a typical Debt Laffer Curve that is smooth (no kinks)?26 Current Account SustainabilityExplain how the current account balance differs from the trade balance when there is a net foreign wealth position. Explain why the difference between the current account balance and the trade balance is the same as between GNI and GDP.Suppose long-term debt sustainability means a stable net foreign wealth position, pos- sibly negative and large, so that the current account balance from a certain point in time on is zero. Explain how the trade balance needs to relate to interest payments in this case.
