You have a portfolio that is invested 24 percent in Stock R, 38 percent in Stock S, and the remainder in Stock T. The beta of St

Nady [450]

Answer:

1.90

Explanation:

The computation of the beta of the stock T is shown below:

Portfolio beta = Invested percentage in stock R × beta of Stock R + Invested percentage in Stock S × Beta of stock S + Invested percentage in Stock T × Beta of Stock T

1.37 = 0.24 × 0.71 + 0.38 × 1.26 + 0.38 × Beta of Stock T

1.37 = 0.1704 + 0.4788 + 0.38 × Beta of Stock T

1.37 = 0.6492 + 0.38 × Beta of Stock T

0.7208 = 0.38 × Beta of Stock T

So, the beta of stock T is 1.90

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is (B) discussing explanations for an unexpected scientific finding.

Explanation:

A serendipity is a discovery or a fortunate, valuable and unexpected finding that occurs accidentally, by chance or by destination, or when a different thing is being sought. It can also refer to the ability of a subject to recognize that he has made an important discovery even if it is not related to what he is looking for. Serendipities are frequent in the history of science. There are also cases of serendipity in literary works, when an author writes about something he has imagined and is not known in his time, and it is subsequently shown that this exists as defined by the writer, with the same details. It should not be confused with anticipation or science fiction, where much more generic inventions are advanced than almost everyone thinks they will probably exist one day.

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The required rate of return on stock is 14.6% and option b is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The required rate of return is the minimum return that investors demand/expect on a stock based on the systematic risk of the stock as given by the beta. The expected or required rate of return on a stock can be calculated using the CAPM equation.

The equation is,

r = rRF + Beta * (rM - rRF)

Where,

rRF is the risk free rate

rM is the return on market

r = 0.05 + 1.2 * (0.13 - 0.05)

r = 0.146 or 14.6%

Darya [45]

Answer:

Overhead rate for ordering and receiving = $300 per order.

Explanation:

Given Activity costs and activity drivers

Activity Overhead Cost Driver Activity

Ordering & Receiving Order $150,000 500 orders

Machine Setup $324,000 450 setups

Machining $1,587,500 125,000 MH

Assembly Parts $1,260,000 1,000,000 parts

Inspection $330,000 500 inspections

Under activity based costing the rates are based on the nature of activity and the rates are based on number of those activities per driver. As for ordering and receiving there are total of 500 orders and total cost = $150,000 that is cost per order will be computed.

Overhead rate for ordering and receiving = $150,000/500 orders = $300 per order.

An ad agency creates two ads for a particular car. One stresses the car's safety and gas mileage; the other simply shows how fun

Kay [80]

The first ad relies on the Central route to persuasion; the second, on the Peripheral route .

<u>Explanation: </u>

Advertising is a payment of the messages sent by those who send them to notify or affect the recipients, as defined by the British Advertising Association.

The central route to convincing takes place when the substance of a message persuades a person. The peripheral way to persuade takes place when a person is convinced by something other than the content of the post.

The peripheral route often occurs if a listener is convinced that there are many points in a text— but there is no ability or incentive to care about each one individually. In other terms, secondary data such as the identity of the source (credibility) or many claims in a single message is shortcut.
