Answer:

B. The portfolio should be reallocated based on their stated investment objective, reducing the cash and bond percentage by 50% and using the proceeds to buy a small or mid-cap growth mutual fund

Explanation:

Since this couple has stated investment goal of development with moderate hazard, a portfolio that just has about 25% values and that has 75% fixed pay protections is improper - since it will give pay; yet little development. The long haul bond and money designation ought to be decreased and supplanted with development stocks to more readily adjust the portfolio. Decision C is unreasonably theoretical for a "preservationist financial specialist." Choice D is to some degree valid since this couple is putting resources into their manager's stock - yet since the stock just speaks to 8% of the client's all out portfolio, this isn't a too much enormous rate.

The case of QHIC will have an accurate prediction but not the Tasty Sub Shop Case.

Explanation:

<u>Thus, the projections are accurate when there is only one factor involved to influence the Prediction.</u>

This is so in the QHIC case as any household that spends more on home upkeep will be an ideal advertising target for the firm.

However, just the number of residents in the locality cannot ensure the profitability of a restaurant. competition from other restaurants, net income and eating habits of the locality must also be considered.
