Answer:

Please kindly go through explanation for the answers.

Explanation:

A)The required return if Beta is 2 = 0.06+0.08*2 =0.22

B)Here Rf = 0.06

Expected return of the portfolio = 0.4*22% + 0.6*6% =12.4%

since beta of Rf = 0,the expected beta = 0.4*2 = 0.8

C)Beta is nothing but systematic risk of a security in comparing to the market. In this case stock z having beta of 1.5 which is less than beta of stockX i.e 2. and expected return is 15%.so stockz is offering lower return at lower risk. If the investor is a risk averse its a good buy.

D) let W be portion of stock X.

Then w*2 + (1-w)*0 = 1.5

W = 1.5/2 =0.75

to construct a portfolio which has a beta of 1.5 we have to invest 75% of our money in stock X and remaining in risk free asset

E) expected return = 0.22*.75 +0.25*0.06 = 16.5% + 1.5% = 18%

Bison Autos and Sparrow Co. are automobile manufacturers that both incur $9,000 to manufacture a vehicle. Recent numbers indicat
barxatty [35]

Answer:

Sparrow Co's automobiles are premium brands that command premium prices

Explanation:

The fact that both automobile makers incurs the same cost of $9,000 is just one of many factors to consider because the processes involved in manufacturing are not necessarily the same.

Besides,the level of workforce efficiency and the state of technology deployed are not necessarily the same.

It could also be that Sparrow Co. was able to achieve same level of cost with Bison Autos because it adopted modern cost reductions techniques such as Just-In Time which eliminates the need to keep inventory, thereby  eliminating excessive costs of holding inventory.

All in all,Sparrow Co,could project itself as a maker of high-end brands and increase prices as appropriate.
