Answer:

See explanations for step by step aoproach to answer and see attachment for graph

Explanation:

Plot E(R) = Rf + Beta*(Rm-Rf) as function of beta.

at 1.4

E(R) = 5% + 1.4*(12-5) = 14.8%

E(R) = WfRf + Wa*E(Ra)

= 0.4*5% + 0.6*14.8%

= 10.88%

3. Since, the beta of risk free asset is zero

Bp = wf*Bf + wa*Ba

0.6 = 1.4*wa

wa = 42.8%

wf = 57.2%

d. 14% = 5% + B*(12%-5%)

B = 9/7 = 1.28

e. 2 = wfBf + waBa

wa = 2/1.4

= 142%

It means the portfolio is created by leveraging. Take 42% of value on risk free rate as loan and invest in risky asset.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

D) or E) (are this the same?) 50 units of grain and 130 units of incense

Explanation:

Agland has an advantage producing Organic grain, and Zealand producing Incense, So:

If Agland specialices in producing organic grain it would produce with 20 workers 200 units of grain a year.

If Zealand specialices in producing Incense, it would produce with 10 workers 150 units of incense a year.

This gives a Total combined output of 200 units of grain and 150 unit of incense a year.

Given that the total current output of the two countries is 150 units of grain and 20 units of incense it would increase in 50 units of grain and 130 units of incense.

Scenario: Your best friend works for an In-Home Health Provider Company (IHHPC) in Palm Beach County, Florida. Your friend comes
adelina 88 [10]

Answer: Please refer to Explanation

Explanation:

Advise I would give.

1. The process for the collection of cash should be changed to bring in revenue faster. This can be done in a variety of ways,.

- By including in the terms of the contract that the service has to be paid for within a certain period such as a maximum of 4 weeks and then follow up each week on the customer so that they remember that they have a due bill.

- Giving payment based discounts such as a 5% discount if the service is paid for within a fortnight.

- Telling the customer to pay first, if not the full amount, at least a down payment with the total being settled at a later date.

These are but just some ways of getting the money faster but the bottomline is that payment needs to be received faster because the nurses are paid on a weekly basis.

2. Focus more on Patients with Insurance.

The company has a very low clientele base that use insurance and they should aim to increase that figure. This is because Insurance pays out timely and IHHPC will be sure that their payment will come because an Insurance company is bound by certain rules and regulations. For security of payments therefore, they should increase their insurance based clientele.
