Answer:
Variance of the returns of this stock is 0.01658177
Explanation:
Mean return = 0.7 * 16.5% + 0.3*-11.6%
Mean return = 0.1155 - 0.0348
Mean return = 0.0807
Mean return = 8.07%
Variance of the return = 0.7 * (16.5%-8.07%)^2 + 0.3 * (-11.6%-8.07%)^2
Variance of the return = 0.7 * (8.43%)^2 + 0.3 * (-19.67%)^2
Variance of the return = 0.7 * (0.0843)^2 + 0.3 * (-0.1967)^2
Variance of the return = 0.0049745 + 0.011607267
Variance of the return = 0.01658177
A bond is a certificate of indebtedness.
Explanation:
A bond is a fixed income asset reflecting a loan to a borrower made by an investor. A relationship between the lender and the borrower which includes the details of the loan and its payments could be considered as an I.O.U.
A certificate of indebtedness is a negotiable instrument for the short term as evidence of a floating debt. A certificate of indebtedness was more of a government I.O.U., promising holders of certificates with a set coupon to return their funds.
CDs, bond certificates, promissory notes, etc. are all modern forms of certificates of indebtedness.
Answer: $2,033.46
Explanation:
Social security taxes = 8,388 * 6.2% = $520.06
Medicare taxes = 8,388 * 1.45% = $121.63
Federal income tax withheld = $1,391.77
FUTA and SUTA are to be paid by the employer not the employee.
The total amount of taxes withheld from Portia is therefore:
= 520.06 + 121.63 + 1,391.77
= $2,033.46
