Answer:

Investment in stock X is worth $21,387.60

Explanation:

Expected Return of the protfolio is calculated:

Stock.X.return*invest.x + Stock.Y.return*invest.Y + Risk.free*invest.RF

Where:

  • Stock X return = 9.7%
  • Stock Y Return = 17.7%
  • Risk free = 3.8% (investment in Risk free = 18,000/78,000 = 23.08%)
  • Investment in X+Y = 1 - Invetment in RF = 1 - 0.2308 = 0.7692

So, replacing the numbers

0.097*x + 0.177*Y + 0.038*0.2308 = 0.123

Where X+Y = 0.7692, so X = 0.7692-Y

0.097*(0.7692-Y) + 0.177*Y = 0.123 - 0.0088

Then

0.0746 - 0.097*Y + 0.177*Y = 0.1142

0.08*Y = 0.0396

So Y = 0.0396/0.08 = 0.495 = 49.5%

X = 0.7692 - 0.495 = 0.2742 = 27.42%

27.42% * 78000 =

<span>The pizza is a neutral good. A neutral good is a good whose demand is not changed even though the income provided by the good is changed. A person's income can go either up or down, but their desire to buy more or less of Jamal's pizza will not change, so pizza sales will not go up or down.
