You have $100,000 to invest in either Stock D, Stock F, or a risk-free asset. You must invest all of your money. Your goal is to

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

You will invest <u>$18,000</u> in Stock F.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the portfolio return formula as follows:

PR = (wD * rD) + (wF * rF) + (wR * rR) ............................ (1)

Where;

PR = Portfolio expected return = 10.7%, or 0.107

wD = Weight of the amount invested in Stock D = Amount invested in Stock D / Total amount invested = $50,000 / $100,000 = 0.50

rD = Expected Return from Stock D = 14.2%, or 0.142

wF = Weight of the amount invested in Stock F = Amount invested in Stock F / Total amount invested = ?

rF = Expected Return from StocK F = 10.1%, or 0.101

wR = Weight of the amount invested in risk free = 1 - wD - wF = 1 - 0.50 - wF = 0.50 - wF

rR = Expected Return from Risk free = 5.6%, or 0.056

Substitute all the values into equation (1), we have:

0.107 = (0.50 * 0.142) + (wF * 0.101) + ((0.50 - wF) * 0.056)

0.107 = 0.071 + (wF * 0.101) + ((0.50 * 0.056) - (wF * 0.056))

0.107 - 0.071 = (wF * 0.101) + 0.028 - (wF * 0.056)

0.036 - 0.028 = (wF * 0.101) - (wF * 0.056)

0.008 = wF(0.101 - 0.056)

0.008 = wF0.045

wF = 0.008 / 0.045

wF = 0.18

Since,

wF = Amount invested in Stock F / Total amount invested

We then substitute and solve for Amount invested in Stock F as follows:

0.18 = Amount invested in Stock F / $100,000

Amount invested in Stock F = 0.18 * $100,000 = $18,000

Therefore, you will invest <u>$18,000</u> in Stock F.

If France had positive net exports last year, then it (A) sold more abroad than it purchased abroad and had a trade surplus.

<h3>What is trade surplus?</h3>

When focused simply on trade effects, a trade surplus indicates that a country's goods are in high demand on the global market, which raises the price of those items and leads to a direct strengthening of the home currency.
When exports surpass imports, the trade balance (surplus) is positive.
When exports are fewer than imports, the trade balance is negative (deficit).
When a country exports more goods than it imports, it has a trade surplus.
For example, if China exported $1 trillion in products while importing only $200 billion in goods, it would have an $800 billion trade surplus.

Therefore, if France had positive net exports last year, then it (A) sold more abroad than it purchased abroad and had a trade surplus.

Karolina [17]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Dividend per share:

= (65% of Par value of the stock)

= (65% × 0.01)

= $0.0065

Hence, the total dividend:

= (Dividend per share × outstanding shares of common stock)

= (0.0065 × 4.96 million)

= $32,240

Hence, the dividend would cause a decrease in retained earnings.

Therefore, the correct option is B.
