Answer:
New Portfolio beta = 1.125
Explanation:
The portfolio beta is the function of the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. The formula to calculate the beta of a portfolio is as follows,
Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + .... + wN * Beta of N
Where,
- w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolio
New Portfolio beta = 50000/200000 * 0.8 + 50000/200000 * 1 +
50000/200000 * 1.2 + 50000/200000 * 1.5
New Portfolio beta = 1.125
Answer:
1.
Selling Price $156
2.
Variable cost $101.25
Break-even 9,500 units and $1,482,000
Explanation:
Compposit unit unit is a unit made according to the propostion to sale. Different products are combined to make a sales mix for composit unit.
1.
Selling price per composit unit = [ ( 7 x 111 ) + ( 3 x 261 ) ] / 10 = 1560 / 10 = $156
2.
Variable cost per composit unit = [ ( 7 x 68 ) + ( 3 x 180.5 ) ] / 10 = 1,017.5 / 10 = $101.75
Contribution per composit unit = Selling Price - variable cost = $156 - 101.75 = $54.25
Break-even Point = Total Fixed cost / Contribution per unit = $515,375 / 54.25 = 9,500 units
Break-even Point ($ value )= 9,500 x 156 = $1,482,000
Answer:
The answer is option (c), no he will not pass because he is running 4.8 miles in 35 minutes
Explanation:
This can be expressed as;
Speed=Distance/Time
where;
Distance to be covered=5 kilometers
Time=35 minutes
replacing;
speed=(5/35)=0.143 km/min
In order to pass the fitness test his speed has to be greater than 0.143 km/min
Determine if 3 miles per 35 minutes is greater than 0.143 km/min
I mile=1.6 kilometers
How many kilometers make 3 miles,
Jimmy runs=(3×1.6)=4.8 kilometers in 35 minutes
Speed=4.8/35=0.137 kilometers/minute
Speed jimmy runs (0.137 km/min)<the pace he needs to run to pass fitness test(0.143 km/min)
The answer is option (c), no he will not pass because he is running 4.8 miles in 35 minutes
A tax that is considered fair by most people in a society is where the tax rate is progressive so that the more a person earns the higher rate of tax they pay and on the opposite end of the scale those with low income should pay very little if any. The other very important factor which is involved is is what are the taxes spent on? If they are mainly spent on meeting the needs of the most dispossessed people plus the basic needs of the general society for health care, education and housing then that is very important too.
