Tamiku [17]

Answer:

b) 0 or no surplus.

Explanation:

The question is in three parts

The equilibrum price and quantity refers to that point in sales where the quantity demanded = the quantity supplied.

Looking at the schedule, the equilibrum quantity is 95 million pounds of butter and the equilbrum price is $1.20 per pound. At this level, both demand and supply is 95 million.

b) What is the monthly surplus created in the wholesale butter market due to the price support (price floor) program?

First, what is the price floor fixed by the government = $1.00 per pound and at this rate, the demanded quantity is 101 million and the quantity supplied is 79 million pounds.

General pharmacy’s stock has a beta of 1.8 and an expected return of 14%, and sicoras corp.’s stock has a beta of 1.5 and an exp

Shalnov [3]

Given:
General pharmacy’s stock has a beta of 1.8 and an expected return of 14%,
Sicoras corp.’s stock has a beta of 1.5 and an expected return of 16.2%.

Let Rf stand for risk free rate.
Let Rm stand for expected market return.

General Pharmacy: 14% = Rf + 1.8(Rm-Rf)
Sicoras Corp.: 16.2% = Rf + 1.5(Rm-Rf)

0.14 = Rf + 1.8Rm - 1.8Rf
0.14 = Rf - 1.8Rf + 1.8Rm
0.14 = -0.8Rf + 1.8Rm
0.14 + 0.8Rf = 1.8Rm

Rm = 0.14/1.8 + 0.8Rf/1.8
Rm = 0.078 + 0.444Rf

0.162 = Rf + 1.5(Rm-Rf)
0.162 = Rf + 1.5[(0.078+0.444Rf) - Rf]
0.162 = Rf + 0.117 + 0.666Rf - 1.5Rf
0.162 - 0.117 = Rf + 0.666Rf - 1.5Rf
0.045 = 0.166Rf
0.045/0.166 = Rf
0.271 = Rf

Rm = 0.078 + 0.444Rf
Rm = 0.078 + 0.444(0.271)
Rm = 0.078 + 0.120
Rm = 0.198

Rf = 27.1% ; Rm = 19.8%

The risk free rate is 27.1% and the expected market return is 19.8%.

To check, simply substitute the value of Rf and Rm in the above equation.

Stock A has an expected return of 17.8 percent, and Stock B has an expected return of 9.6 percent. However, the risk of Stock A

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

13.70%

Explanation:

The expected return of a portfolio is said to be the weighted average of the returns of the individual components,

Given that:

Stock A has an expected return = 17.8%

Stock B has an expected return = 9.6%

the risk of Stock A as measured by its variance is 3 times that of Stock B.

If the two stocks are combined equally in a portfolio;

Then :

The weight of both stocks will be 50% : 50 %

So the portfolio's expected return can be determined as follows:

Expected return for stock A = 50% × 17.8%

Expected return = 0.50 × 17.8%

Expected return = 8.9 %

Expected return for stock B = 50 % × 9.6 %

Expected return for stock B = 0.50 × 9.6%

Expected return for stock B = 4.8%

Expected return of the portfolio = summation of the expected return for both stocks

Expected return of the portfolio = 8.9 % + 4.8%

Expected return of the portfolio = 13.70%
