Answer: The presence of asymmetric information

                                               

Explanation:  In simple words, asymmetric information refers to the situation when one party to a contract have extra information regarding a subject than the other party of the contract.

Asymmetric information creates the potential of misconduct from the leading party as they can easily cheat the other party by concealing that important information.

Answer:

B. Portfolio B with E(R)=13% and STD=18%

Explanation:

The computation is shown below;

Reward to risk ratio = (15% - 5%) ÷ 20% = 0.5

The porfolio should be in line i.e.

= 0.05 + 0.5 × standard deviation

For portfolio A

= 0.05 + 0.5 × 25

= 17.5%

For portfolio C

= 0.05 + 0.5 × 1

= 5.5%

Portfolio B, the std is 18%

So,

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The computation of the return of assets is calculated by applying the formula which is shown below:

Return on assets = Net income ÷ assets

In 2016, the return on assets would be equal to

= $500,000 ÷ $5,000,000

= 0.1

In 2017, the return on assets would be equal to

= $600,000 ÷ $7,000,000

= 0.085

By comparing the return on assets for both the years, we get to know that the return on assets is declining from 2016 to 2017
