You are considering investing $1,000 in a complete portfolio. The complete portfolio is composed of Treasury bills that pay 5% a

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

amount to be investment in risky portfolio = $405

amount invest in security x = $243

amount invested in security Y = $162

Explanation:

given data

investing = $1,000

Treasury bills = 5%

optimal weights of X = 60 %

optimal weights of Y = 40 %

expected rate of return x = 14%

expected rate of return y = 10%

solution

we know that

weight return return from risky port

X 60 % 14 % 8.4 %

Y 40 % 10 % 4%

total 12.4 %

so here

return from risky portfolio is = 12.4 %

and

return from risk free investment = 5 %

so 'we consider here investment in risky portfolio = x

so investment in risk free = 1 - x

so we can say that

12.4 % × x + 5 % × (1-x) = 8 %

solve we get

x = 0.405

so investment in risky portfolio = 0.405

so investment in risk free =0.595

and

amount to be investment in risky portfolio = $1000 × 0.405

amount to be investment in risky portfolio = $405

and

amount invest in security x = $405 × 60%

amount invest in security x = $243

and

amount invested in security Y = $405 × 60%

amount invested in security Y = $162

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

At the end of March, Paul’s Painting hired five temporary employees to work on a project that began on April 5 and ended on April 28. Paul’s received 100% of the total payment for the project on May 3. In this situation, both cash basis accounting and GAAP require that Paul’s recognize the employees’ total salary expense in April.

Explanation:

A collection of accounting rules and standards usually followed, for financial reporting is known as GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) .

For businesses, GAAP needs accrual accounting.

Accrual accounting operates on the basis of matching both revenue and expenses. Revenues and the related expenses occur concurrently, though the cash transaction concerning thereto might happen in some other period.

In the situation given in the question, the revenue from the project is earned in April, subsequently, the salary expense related to that work should also be recognized in the same period due to an accrual basis.
