Answer: -1.26%

Explanation:

We can solve for this using the following formula.

Return on Stock Market = Down figure of Index / ( Close figure of Index - down figure of Index)

So calculating we have,

Return on Stock Market = -98.34 / ( 7,447.50 - (-98.34))

Return on Stock Market = -98.34 / 7,545.84

Return on Stock Market = - 0.0126

Return on Stock Market = -1.26%

djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

A residential property is greatly diminished in value because of the constant noise of jets taking off from a recently expanded municipal airport. In order to be compensated for this loss, the owner could:

B.bring a suit alleging inverse condemnation

Explanation:

A law suit is a claim or legal problem taken to a court of law by an individual or organization rather than the authorities for a legal decision to be made. In the case above, the residential property diminished in value after constant noise of jets taking off from a recently expanded municipal airport. The loss in value is as a result of the recently expanded municipal airport and the property owner wants to be compensated for this loss.

In law, there are different terminologies and phrases that have specific meaning, some of them are as follows;

1. Inverse condemnation

Inverse condemnation is a case where a government entity takes private property or influences the value of that private property in one way or another then fails to compensate. In our case, this law suit can apply since the municipal airport is under the jurisdiction of the government and there action of expanding the airport caused a decline in value of neighboring residential property thus they should compensate the owner for this loss. The owner can bring a suit alleging inverse compensation.

Arbor Systems and Gencore stocks both have a volatility of 33%. Compute the volatility of a portfolio with 50% invested in each
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

<h3>In case of b, c, d ,e volatility is less than that of original stock</h3>

Explanation:

The formula to compute the volatility of a portfolio

=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}

Here,

The standard deviation of the first stock is σ₁

The standard deviation of the second stock is σ₂

The weight of the first stock W₁

The weight of the second stock W₂

The correlation between the stock c

a) If the correlation between the stock is +1

=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}

=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times1} \\\\=0.33

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.33 0r 33%

b) If the correlation between the stock is 0.50

=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}

=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times0.5} \\\\=0.29

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.29 0r 29%

c) If the correlation between the stock is 0.00

=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}

=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times0.0} \\\\=0.23

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.23 0r 23%

d) If the correlation between the stock is -0.50

=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}

=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times-0.5} \\\\=0.17

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0.17 or 17%

e) If the correlation between the stock is -1

=\sqrt{W_1^2\sigma_1^2+W_2^2\sigma_2^2+2W_1W_2\sigma_1\sigma_2*c}

=\sqrt{(0.5\times0.33)^2+(0.5\times0.33)^2+(2\times(0.5\times 0.33)\times(0.5\times0.33)\times-1} \\\\=0

Hence, the volatility of the portfolio is 0

Total assets of Charter Company equal $700,000 and its equity is $420,000. What is the amount of its liabilities? b. Total asset
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

a. Total liabilities = $280,000

b. Total liabilities = $250,000

Total equity -= $250,000

Explanation:

As we know that

Total assets = Total liabilities + shareholder equity

So in the first case

The amount of the liabilities is

Total liabilities = Total assets - Total equity

                        = $700,000 - $420,000

                        = $280,000

And, in the second case, the total assets is $500,000

And, the liabilities and equity amounts are equal to each other

So in this case, the liabilities is $250,000 and the equity is $250,000

loris [4]

Answer:

Price elasticities of demand and supply

Explanation:

Tax is a compulsory amount levied on goods and services by the government  or an agency of the government.

taxes increases the prices of goods and services

Deadweight loss of tax refers to a reduction in quantity demanded and supplied as a result of tax.

Price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded to changes in price of the good.

Price elasticity of supply measures the responsiveness of quantity supplied to changes in price of the good.

If demand or supply is elastic, the deadweight loss of tax is higher. If demand or supply is inelastic, the deadweight loss of tax would be lower.
