Answer:

Investment in stock C is $122450.3311 rounded off to $122450.33

Explanation:

A portfolio which is equally as risky as market should have a beta equal to the beta of the market as beta is a measure of the riskiness. The beta of market is always equal to 1. The formula for beta of a portfolio is as follows:

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta A + wB * Beta B + ... + wN * Beta N

Where w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolio.

Let investment in stock C be x

1 = 146000/500000 * 0.91 + 134000/500000 * 1.36 + x/500000 * 1.51

1 = 0.26572  +  0.36448 + 1.51x / 500000

1 - 0.6302 = 1.51x / 500000

0.3698 * 500000 = 1.51x

1844900 / 1.51 = x

x = $122450.3311 rounded off to $122450.33

Consider the following statements regarding Company A and Company B:The two companies have identical operating results but have
Natalija [7]

Answer:

A. A only

Explanation:

U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) does not allow property, plant, and equipment to be written up or revalued. If the fair value of PP&E falls below the book value and the amount is material then a company must write down the asset to fair value.

Since under US GAAP, once PPE is written, it can not be reversed. as Company B is indicated to have reversed the write down while company A did not. It therefore means that Company A only is reporting under US GAAP.
