Answer:

Both will charge $6,904 when they transport 16 tons of sugar.

Explanation:

The amount of sugar to be transported is S, since we need to calculate at which amount of sugar both truck companies charge the same total price, we need to solve the following:

first company charges $4,500 + $150.25 S

second company charges $3,696 + $200.50 S

since both companies will charge the same total amount, then

$4,500 + $150.25 S = $3,696 + $200.50 S

$4,500 - $3,696 = $200.50 S - $150.25 S

$804 = $50.25 S

$804 / $50.25 = S

S = 16

$4,500 + ($150.25 x 16) = $4,500 + $2,404 = $6,904

Answer:

FV= $33,094.2

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Present value (PV)= 50*100= $5,000

Number of periods (n)= 2020 - 1960= 60 years

Apreciation rate (g)= 3.2% = 0.032

To calculate the value of the collection in 2020, we need to use the following formula:

Future value= PV*(1 + g)^n

FV= 5,000*(1.032^60)

FV= $33,094.2

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

High beta stocks

Explanation:

High beta stocks are mostly affected by changes in risk aversion. Beta measures a stock's volatility in comparison to the overall market. High-beta stocks are supposedly riskier but these stocks provide potentials for higher return, low-beta stocks have lower risk and also lower returns.

In simple terms, high beta stocks is much more volatile than the index it's being measured against.

The expected return and standard deviation of a portfolio that is 30 percent invested in 3 Doors, Inc., and 70 percent invested

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

For correlation 1 the standard deviation of portfolio is 0.433.

For correlation 0 the standard deviation of portfolio is 0.3191.

For correlation -1 the standard deviation of portfolio is 0.127.

Explanation:

The standard deviation of a portfolio is computed using the formula:

$\sigma_{P}=\sqrt{w^{2}_{1}\sigma_{1}^{2}+w^{2}_{2}\sigma_{2}^{2}+2\times r\times w_{1}\sigma_{1}w_{2}\sigma_{2}}$

(1)

For r = + 1 compute the standard deviation of portfolio as follows:

$\sigma_{P}=\sqrt{w^{2}_{1}\sigma_{1}^{2}+w^{2}_{2}\sigma_{2}^{2}+2\times r\times w_{1}\sigma_{1}w_{2}\sigma_{2}}\\=\sqrt{(0.30^{2}\times 0.51^{2})+(0.70^{2}\times 0.40^{2})+(2\times1\times0.30\times 0.51\times0.70\times 0.40)}\\=\sqrt{0.187489}\\=0.433$

Thus, for correlation 1 the standard deviation of portfolio is 0.433.

(2)

For r = 0 compute the standard deviation of portfolio as follows:

$\sigma_{P}=\sqrt{w^{2}_{1}\sigma_{1}^{2}+w^{2}_{2}\sigma_{2}^{2}+2\times r\times w_{1}\sigma_{1}w_{2}\sigma_{2}}\\=\sqrt{(0.30^{2}\times 0.51^{2})+(0.70^{2}\times 0.40^{2})+(2\times0\times0.30\times 0.51\times0.70\times 0.40)}\\=\sqrt{0.101809}\\=0.3191$

Thus, for correlation 0 the standard deviation of portfolio is 0.3191.

(3)

For r = -1 compute the standard deviation of portfolio as follows:

$\sigma_{P}=\sqrt{w^{2}_{1}\sigma_{1}^{2}+w^{2}_{2}\sigma_{2}^{2}+2\times r\times w_{1}\sigma_{1}w_{2}\sigma_{2}}\\=\sqrt{(0.30^{2}\times 0.51^{2})+(0.70^{2}\times 0.40^{2})+(2\times-1\times0.30\times 0.51\times0.70\times 0.40)}\\=\sqrt{0.016129}\\=0.127$

Thus, for correlation -1 the standard deviation of portfolio is 0.127.

You have been pricing an MP3 player in several stores. Three stores have the identical price of $300. Each store charges 24 perc

Valentin [98]

Answer:

a. $5

b. $4

c. $6

Explanation:

a. store A?

Beginning balance = $300

Ending balance = $300 - $100 = $200

Average balance = ($300 + $200) ÷ 2 = $250

Monthly APR = 24% ÷ 12 = 2%

June finance charge = Average balance × Monthly APR = $250 × 2% = $5

b. store B

June finance charge = (Beginning balance - Payments) × Monthly APR = ($300 - $100) × 2% = $4

c. store C?

June finance charge = Beginning balance × Monthly APR = $300 × 2% = $6
