Answer:
Stock: 64%
Mutual Fund: 15%
Bond: 11%
Savings Account: 10%
Explanation: Out of 100% we have 64%, 15%, 11%, and 10%. We are being asked to place these percentages to different categories based on Chris's investment to minimize the risk of his portfolio. To know what percentage to assign what category, we simply take a look at each category and determine each worth. The Stock has higher risk and higher growth, so the percentage should be the highest one which is 64%. The Mutual fund has a medium growth and a medium risk, so it should have the medium percentage which is 15%. The bond has a low growth and a low risk, which should have a low percentage but not the lowest which is 11%. Savings Account has the lowest growth and lowest risk, which should have the lowest percentage.
I am not 100% sure if it's correct, I am about 90% sure its correct. If I am wrong please make sure to comment on that.

Answer:
What would be the result? What additional information, if any, would you need to know to decide the case?
To determine who would win this case, we need to know two things:
- The non-compete agreement was supposed to last how many years, e.g. 1 or 2 years, maybe 3?
- When did Clifford Witter stopped working for Arthur Murray Dance Studios and when did he started to work for Fred Astaire Dancing Studios?
Most states consider non-compete agreements valid only if they last up to 2 or 3 years at most (which is considered a reasonable time). If Clifford started to work at Fred Astaire before the non-compete clause was over (assuming it lasted a reasonable time) then Arthur Murray would win. But if Clifford started to work at Fred Astaire after the non-compete clause was over, then there is nothing Arthur Murray can do to win the case.
Answer:
E. Skimming Pricing.
Explanation:
This method or strategy is mainly used in marketing strategy for a new market entry especially because of its uniqueness and also when the value of the commodity to be sold is of a very high qualities and importance.
It is also seen as a product pricing strategy by which a firm charges the highest initial price that customers will pay and then lowers it over time. As the demand of the first customers is satisfied and competition enters the market, the firm lowers the price to attract another, more price sensitive segment of the population. The skimming strategy gets its name from "skimming" successive layers of cream, or customer segments, as prices are lowered over time.
Answer:
Price of bond= $1,185.72
Explanation:
<em>The price of a bond is the present value (PV) of the future cash inflows expected from the bond discounted using the yield to maturity.
</em>
These cash flows include interest payment and redemption value
The price of the bond can be calculated as follows:
Step 1
PV of interest payment
annual coupon rate = 7.1%
Annual Interest payment =( 7.1%×$1000)= $71
Annual yield = = 5.5%
PV of interest payment
= A ×(1- (1+r)^(-n))/r
A- interest payment, r- yield - 5.5%, n- no of periods -19 periods
= 71× (1-(1.055)^(-19))/0.055)
= 71× 11.60765352
= 824.143
Step 2
PV of redemption value (RV)
PV = RV × (1+r)^(-n)
RV - redemption value- $1000, n- 19, r- 5.5%
= 1,000 × (1+0.055)^(-19)
= 361.579
Step 3
Price of bond = PV of interest payment + PV of RV
$824.143 + $361.579
Price of bond= $1,185.72
