Answer:

The financial advantage over option 2 is $ 20 000 and $ 60 000 in total sales value.

Explanation:

The company has 2 options for the obsolete desk calculators. They can either upgrade them or sell them as they are. We need to compare the 2 options to evaluate their advantage or disadvantage.

To upgrade the calculators we need to spend $200000. However we will then be able to sell the calculators for $260000. This equates to a $60 000 gain

Under option 2 we will just sell the calculators as is for $ 40 000.

Option 1 is the better option. The financial advantage over option 2 is thus $ 20 000 and $ 60 000 in total.

True.

You have $250,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock H, with an expected return of 12.9 percent, and Stock L
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The investment in stock H will be $104837.5 while the investment in stock L will be $145162.5

Explanation:

The portfolio return is the weighted average return of the individual stocks that form up the portfolio. The weightage of each stock in the portfolio is the investment in a stock as a proportion of investment in the portfolio.

Let x be the weightage of Stock H.

Weightage of Stock L will be (1-x).

Portfolio return = wH * rH  +  wL * rL

Plugging in the values,

0.111 = x  * 0.129   +   (1-x) * 0.098

0.111 = 0.129x  +  0.098  -  0.098x

0.111- 0.098  =  0.031x

0.013 / 0.031  = x

x = 0.41935 or 41.935% rounded off to 3 decimal places

(1-x) = 1 - 0.41935  =  0.58065 or 58.065%

Investment in Stock H = 250000 * 41.935%  =  $104837.5

Investment in Stock L = 250000 * 58.065%  =   $145162.5
