Answer:

Using realistic purchase conditions to see if consumers will buy

Exposing actual products to prospective consumers

Explanation:

Market testing is a scenario in which the company may test different market scenarios in order to check which market situation is going to be the best for the new product.

Marketing testing also involves processes such as exposing actual products to prospective consumers and  using realistic purchase conditions to see if consumers will buy in order to collect data of how the product will react in the real time market and consumers and prepare it accordingly.

What is the expected return on an equally weighted portfolio of these three stocks? (Do not round intermediate calculations and
siniylev [52]

Answer:

a. The expected return on the equally weighted portfolio of the three stocks is 16.23%.

b. The variance of the portfolio is 0.020353.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.

a. What is the expected return on an equally weighted portfolio of these three stocks? (Do not round intermediate calculations and enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)

This can be calculated using the following 2 steps:

Step 1: Calculation of expected returns under each state of the economy

Expected return under a state of the economy is the sum of the multiplication of the percentage invested in each stock and the rate of return of each stock under the state of the economy.

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Expected return under a state of the economy = (Percentage invested in Stock A * Return of Stock A under the state of the economy) + (Percentage invested in Stock B * Return of Stock B under the state of the economy) + (Percentage invested in Stock C * Return of Stock C under the state of the economy) …………… (1)

Since we have an equally weighted portfolio, this implies that percentage invested on each stock can be calculated as follows:

Percentage invested on each stock = 100% / 3 = 33.3333333333333%, or 0.333333333333333

Substituting the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

Expected return under Boom = (0.333333333333333 * 0.09) + (0.333333333333333 * 0.03) + (0.333333333333333 * 0.39) = 0.17

Expected return under Bust = (0.333333333333333 * 0.28) + (0.333333333333333 * 0.34) + (0.333333333333333 * (-0.19)) = 0.143333333333333

Step 2: Calculation of expected return of the portfolio

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Portfolio expected return = (Probability of Boom Occurring * Expected Return under Boom) + (Probability of Bust Occurring * Expected Return under Bust) …………………. (2)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (2), we have::

Portfolio expected return = (0.71 * 0.17) + (0.29 * 0.143333333333333) = 0.162266666666667, or 16.2266666666667%

Rounding to 2 decimal places as required by the question, we have:

Portfolio expected return = 16.23%

Therefore, the expected return on the equally weighted portfolio of the three stocks is 16.23%.

b. What is the variance of a portfolio invested 16 percent each in A and B and 68 percent in C? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 6 decimal places, e.g., .161616.)

This can be calculated using the following 3 steps:

Step 1: Calculation of expected returns under each state of the economy

Using equation (1) in part a above, we have:

Expected return under Boom = (16% * 0.09) + (16% * 0.03) + (68% * 0.39) = 0.2844

Expected return under Boom = (16% * 0.28) + (16% * 0.34) + (68% * (-0.19)) = -0.03

Step 2: Calculation of expected return of the portfolio

Using equation (2) in part a above, we have:

Portfolio expected return = (0.71 * 0.2844) + (0.29 *(-0.03)) = 0.193224

Step 3: Calculation of the variance of the portfolio

Variance of the portfolio = (Probability of Boom Occurring * (Expected Return under Boom - Portfolio expected return)^2) + (Probability of Bust Occurring * (Expected Return under Bust - Portfolio expected return)^2) …………………….. (3)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (3), we have:

Variance of the portfolio = (0.71 * (0.2844 - 0.193224)^2) + (0.29 * (-0.03- 0.193224)^2) = 0.020352671424

Rounding to 6 decimal places as required by the question, we have:

Variance of the portfolio = 0.020353

Therefore, the variance of the portfolio is 0.020353.

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

C) common stockholders, but after that of bondholders.

Explanation:

Preferred stockholders hold a claim on assets that has priority over the claims of common stockholders but after that of bondholders.  

The preferred shareholder is given preference for the distribution of dividends, which is higher than the common stock. It is paid as per the discretion of the company´s directors. Instead, they have limited right and they do not vote for corporate governance like a common stockholder. In the case of the dissolution of the company, the preferred shareholders will still receive payment due to them in terms of dividends. They have a feature of both bonds and equity stockholders.

Creme Bakery just paid an annual dividend of $2.20 a share and is expected to increase that amount by 2.2 percent per year. If y
alekssr [168]

Answer:

$19.47

Explanation:

The computation of the price paid for share is shown below:

= Year second dividend ÷ (Required rate of return - growth rate)

where,

Next year dividend is

= $2.20 + $2.20 × 2.2%

= $2.20 + $0.0484

= $2.2484

In the year 2 , it is

= $2.2484 × 1.022

= $2.2978648

And, the required rate of return is 14%

Plus the growth rate is 2.2%

So, the price paid for the share is

= ( $2.2978648) ÷ (14% - 2.2%)

= $19.47

Your younger sister, Linda, will start college in five years. She has just informed your parents that she wants to go to Hampton
Elden [556K]

Answer:

The answer $6,964.4726324 per year  

Explanation: The following elements are to be considered in this case:

- The total amount required for Linda's education is $132,000 ($33,000*4)

-Parents had already started investing $5,300 per year for the past five years. This is a stream of even cash flows, at an interest rate. Considering we are at the point before our parents decided to invest the $5,300 and we want to determine the future value of this fixed payments, we will consider the formula below:

Future Value FV = Cash flow per period C * ([1 + i]^n - 1 )/i where  i is the interest rate and n the number of times or periods

FV= $5,300 * ([1 + 0.11]^5 - 1 )/0.11

FV= $5,300 * 6.22780141

FV= $33,007.347473

Considering they will continue to save $5,300 for five more years, we can adjust the above formula and obtain the future value of the fixed payment of $5,300 over a period of 10 years

FV= $5,300 * ([1 + 0.11]^10 - 1 )/0.11

FV= $5,300 * 16.722008965

FV= $88,626.647515

This implies our parents will have the above amount when Linda is to start college and will require an additional $43,373.35248 ($132,000 - $88,626.647515 ) to have the entire fees at hand.

Now, we have to determine how much should be saved every year for the next five years (when Linda starts school) in order to obtain the amount left to complete Linda's fees.

Considering the formula above, it should be noted that we alraedy know the future value, the interest and the number of years involved. So to get the cash flow or amount to be saved per period,

- Cash Flow per period C = Future value FV/  ([1 + i]^n - 1 )/i

 C = $43,373.35248 /  ([1 + 0.11]^5 - 1 )/0.11

 C = $43.373.35248 / 6.22780141

 C = $6,964.4726324

Thus, in addition to the $5,300 currently being saved by our parents, they will have to save an additional $6,964.4726324 per year so as to obtain the total amount for Linda fees of $132,000 which will be divided into $33,000 per year.
