If a  portfolio is comprised of two stocks. Stock A comprises 65% of the portfolio and has a beta of 1.21. The portfolio beta is 1.119.

<h3>Portfolio beta</h3>

Using this formula

Portfolio beta=(Stock A portfolio×beta)+[(1-Stock A porfolio)× Stock B beta]

Let plug in the formula

βp = (.65 × 1.21) + [(1 - .65) × .95]

βp = (.7865) + [.35 × .95]

βp= .7865+ .3325

βp = 1.119

Therefore the portfolio beta is 1.119.

garri49 [273]

Answer:

$2800

Explanation:

To find the Gain or loss on the sell of shares we jus need to deduct cost of purchasing and brokerage fee from sale proceeds

12 DECEMBER 2019

Gain/loss = Sales proceeds- Total Cost to purchase - Cost to sell

Gain/loss= ($88 x 265) - $20,305 - $215

Gain/loss= $23,320 - $20,305 - $215

Gain/loss= $2800

WORKINGS

Purchase 1 Jan 2019

265shares x $76per share =  $20,140

Total cost to purchase = $20,140 + $165(brokerage fee)

Total cost to purchase =  $20,305

Cost to sell = $215(brokerage fee)

Harlan Bikes wants to close an unprofitable division with an expensive mortgage, high advertising costs, and high raw material c
Rudiy27

Answer:

Quantitatively, Harlan Bikes is justified in deciding to close the department, but there are other qualitative factors that need to be considered which may result in the company loosing much more that they can save if the department is closed, such as for example a decrease in employee morale, a negative signalling effect to other stakeholders, a drop in sales in related products etc.

Explanation:

A decrease in employee morale can result especially if workers  in other departments are no-longer sure about their future in the company, resulting from fears of their departments being closed. This can negatively affect productivity resulting in lower profits in other department.

A negative signalling effect means that other stakeholders such as investors and creditors may start questioning managements ability to profitably run the business, and the company will be perceived as more risky. Cost of debt and cost of equity capital for example, may go up, due to this higher perceived risk, and  which may reduce the number of positive net present value projects that the company can undertake due to an increase in cost of capital.

If the company carries related products in other departments, it may also see a drop in sales in those sales, which will effectively reduced the savings that are estimated  to be gained from closing the division.

Research the challenges associated with payments across international borders and prepare a brief summary of your findings. Do m
NemiM [27]

Answer:

The main challenge associated with payments across international borders is the challenge of currency rates. Because currencies vary across countries, sometimes a payment can be either hugely benefitial or hugely detrimental for a company, depending on how expensive or cheap its domestic currency is compared to the foreign currency.

Another challenge is related to international legislation, banking systems, red tape, and so on. Banking laws in some countries are more favorable to firms than in others, for example, by charging less financial expenses or comissions.
