Suppose that there are many stocks in the security market and that the characteristics of stocks A and B are given as follows: S
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

0.135 or 13.5%

Explanation:

Given in the question are the following:

ERA = Expected return of Stock A = 12% = 0.12

ERB = Expected return of Stock B = 19% = 0.19

SDA = Standard deviation of Stock A = 3% = 0.03

SDB = Standard deviation of Stock B = 9% = 0.09

CAB = Correlation between A and B = -1

The correlation of -1 between Stock A and Stock B indicates that there a perfect negative correlation between the two stocks. Therefore, we can create a risk-free portfolio which its rate of return will be the risk-free rate in equilibrium.  

If we let wA denotes the proportion of investment in Stock A, and let wB denotes the proportion of investment in Stock B, the proportion of this portfolio can be obtained by setting its standard deviation equal to zero. Since there is a perfect negative correlation, the standard deviation of this portfolio (SDP) can be given as follows:

Absolute value [(wA × SDA) – (wB × SDB)] = SDP …………………………………….. (1)

Note that wB = (1 – wA) since the sum of the weight must be equal to 1.

Substituting all the relevant values into equation and set SDP = 0, we have  

[(0.03 × wA) − (0.11 × (1 - wA))] = 0

0.03wA – 0.11 + 0.11wA = 0

0.03wA + 0.11wA = 0.11

0.14wA = 0.11

wA = 0.11 ÷ 0.14 = 0.785714285714286

Since wB = 1 –wA, therefore:

wB = 1 - 0.785714285714286 = 0.214285714285714

The expected rate of return of the portfolio (ERP) can be estimated as follows:

ERP = (wA × ERA) + (wB × ERB)  ................................. (2)

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (2), we have:

ERP = (0.785714285714286 × 0.12) + (0.214285714285714 × 0.19)  

       = 0.0942857142857143 + 0.0407142857142857

ERP = 0.135 or 13.5%

Therefore, the value of the risk-free rate must be 13.5%.

Perfectly competitive firms will: increase output up to the point that the marginal revenue of an additional unit of output is e
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

increase output up to the point that the marginal revenue of an additional unit of output is equal to the marginal cost.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

Generally, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;

1. Perfect information.

2. No barriers, it is typically free.

3. Equilibrium price and quantity.

4. Many buyers and sellers.

5. Homogeneous products.

Examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market.

Perfectly competitive firms always strive to maximize profits by increasing their level of output, such that P = MC.

In a nutshell, in the long run equilibrium P = MR = MC.

Where;

P is the profit.

MR is the marginal revenue.

MC is the marginal cost.

Svetllana [295]

Debit Retained Earnings $250,800; credit Common Dividends Payable $250,800

<h3>What is a dividend?</h3>

A dividend is the distribution of profits to shareholders by a corporation. When a corporation makes a profit or has a surplus, it has the option of paying a portion of that profit as a dividend to its shareholders. Any money that is left over is taken out and put back into the business.

The total dividend is divided by the number of outstanding shares to determine the dividend per share.

A corporation may choose to disperse a portion of its income in one of four different ways. Your monthly brokerage statement may include information about dividends paid on CASH, STOCK, HYBRID, or PROPERTY investments.

Shares issued= 456,000

Per share cash dividend = $0.55

Dividends Payable = 456,000 x $0.55 = $250,800

Debit Retained Earnings $250,800, credit Common Dividends Payable $250,800
