Answer: b. The beta of the portfolio is higher than the highest of the three betas
Explanation:
The beta of a portfolio is calculated as a weighted average of the individual betas of the individual stocks. As such, the highest individual beta will be the upper limit of the portfolios entire beta.
For instance.
3 stocks A, B and C have betas of 1, 1.3 and 2 respectively.
A has a weight of 1%, B has a weight of 1% and C has a weight of 98%.
The portfolio beta will be;
= (0.01 * 1 ) + ( 0.01 * 1.3) + ( 0.98 * 2)
= 1.98
Even if the stock with the highest beta had an advantage of weighing such a high figure, it it mathematically impossible for the portfolio beta to be higher than it.
Answer:
Baltimore Inc.
a. Total taxable income = $47,200
b. Income tax payable = $11,800
c. Income tax expense = $11,250
d. Net income = $33,750
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
GAAP determined pretax income = $45,000
Add nondeductible fines 5,000
Less exempt municipal interest revenue 2,800
Total taxable income $47,200
Income tax (25%) 11,800
Income tax expense:
GAAP determined pretax income = $45,000
Income tax (25%) 11,250
Net income $33,750
b) The differences between the GAAP determined pretax income and the tax determined taxable income are due to permanent differences (not temporary). This implies that there are no deferred tax assets and liabilities and no recoveries from deferred taxes. However, in reporting its financial performance for the year, Baltimore Inc. still has to comply with the GAAP rules and not the tax rules.

Answer:
The use of comparable analysis in real estate considers value of all components of comparable properties, and estimate price based on sum of features of each property.
So for the $400,000 property that has 3 car garage, we will need to find out the value of one garage.
Then since the garage size is the only difference between the two properties, adjust price downwards by deducting the value of one garage.
