Answer:

a) The weight of Security 1 is 23.81%

b)  The weight of Security 2 is 33.33%

c)  The weight of Security 3 is 42.86%

d)  The expected return on the portfolio is 9.81%

Explanation:

Hi, in order to find the weight of each security, we need to use the following formula.

W(1)=\frac{ValSec(1)}{ValSec(1)+ValSec(2)+ValSec(3)+...ValSec(n)}

Where:

W(1)= the weight of security 1

ValSec(1,2,3...n)= amount invested in security 1, 2, 3 to n

In other words, the weight of a security in this portfolio is equals to the value invested in this security divided by the sum of all the securities in the portfolio. So, for the weight of the first one, we have to do this:

W(1)=\frac{5,000}{5,000+7,000+9,000} =0.2381

The second:

W(2)=\frac{7,000}{5,000+7,000+9,000} =0.3333

The third:

W(3)=\frac{9,000}{5,000+7,000+9,000} =0.4286

Therefore, the weight of W(1)=23.81%, W(2)=33.33% and W(3)=42.86%

For the expected return on the portfolio, we need to multiply the weight of each security by its return, that is:

0.07*(0.2381)+0.09*(0.3333=+0.12*(0.4286)=0.0981

So, the expected return on the portfolio is 9.81%

Best of luck.

The men's tie buyer has net sales of $1,440,000, expenses of $504,000, and total reductions of $604,800. The buyer wants a profi
irakobra [83]

Answer: $1,195,200

Explanation:

Net sales = $1,440,000

Expenses = $504,000

Reductions = $604,800.

We then calculate the initial mark up which will be the addition of the net sales, expenses and the reduction. This will be:

= $1,440,000 + $504,000 + $604,800

= $1,195,200

At the price of $5 per pack of batteries, Duracell sells 10,000 packs of batteries and Energizer sells 15,000 packs of batteries
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

D.28000

Explanation:

Lets first understand what market supply is? Market supply is the accumulation/aggregation of total supply made by individual suppliers/vendors who are willing to provide at the current/prevailing prices. The market supply basically reflects the willingness of the vendors to supply goods/services at a given rate. Market supply can be either expressed in monetary terms or in terms of quantity.

So the market supply at $7.50 is as follows:

Market supply @ $7.50 = 12000 + 16000

Market supply @ $7.50 = 28000

It can be generally agreed that an increase in price can lead to an increase in supply by vendors, owing to the fact that the suppliers find a greater margin for themselves. Now in this question,  we can see that at the price of $5 per pack of battery Duracell and Energizer sell 10000 and 15000 packs respectively and when the price rises to $7.50 both Duracells and Energizer sell more than what they were selling at $5 per pack.

Consider a one-year project that costs $126,000, provides an income of $70,000 a year for 5 years, and costs $225,000 to dispose
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Present Value (PV) of cash flows are as follows.

(i) Discount rate = 0%

\mathrm{PV}(\mathrm{S})=-126,000+70,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{A}(0 \%, 5)-225,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{F}(0 \%, 5)=-126,000+70,000 \times 5-225,000

= - 1

Since PV < 0, the project should not be undertaken.

(ii) Discount rate = 2%

\mathrm{PV}(\mathrm{S})=-126,000+70,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{A}(2 \%, 5)-225,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{F}(2 \%, 5)

|=-126,000+70,000 \times 4.7135-225,000 \times 0.9057

= 156

Since PV > 0, the project should be undertaken.

(iii) Discount rate = 5%

\mathrm{PV}(\mathrm{S})=-126,000+70,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{A}(5 \%, 5)-225,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{F}(5 \%, 5)

=-126,000+70,000 \times 4.3295-225,000 \times 0.7835

= 772

Since PV > 0, the project should be undertaken.

(ii) Discount rate = 10%

\mathrm{PV}(\mathrm{S})=-126,000+70,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{A}(10 \%, 5)-225,000 \mathrm{x} \mathrm{P} / \mathrm{F}(10 \%, 5)

=-126,000+70,000 \times 3.7908-225,000 \times 0.6209=-126,000+265,356-139,707

= - 351

Since PV < 0, the project should not be undertaken.
