Answer:

Rp = 3% + BP1 * 10.42% + BP2 * 6.1%

Explanation:

Portfolio A:

R_p = R_f + Beta1*Factor1 + Beta2*Factor2

32% = 3% + 1.6*F1 + 2*F2

Portfolio B

29% = 3% + 2.6*F1 - 0.2*F2

Solvig the equatios

3% = -F1 + 2.2*F2

F1 = 2.2F2 - 3%

F1 = 2.2F2 - 0.03

Substituting

29% = 3% + 2.6*(2.2F2 - 0.03) - 0.2F2

29% = 3% + 5.72F2 - 0.078 - 0.2F2

5.52F2 = 29% - 3% +0.078

5.52F2 = 0.26 +0.078

5.52F2= 0.338

F2 = 0.338/5.52 = 0.061

F1 = 2.2F2 - 0.03 = 2.2(0.061) - 0.03

    = 0.1042

The return Beta relationship in this economy  Rp = 3% + BP1 * 10.42% + BP2 * 6.1%

QS 19-10 Computing contribution margin LO P2 D’Souza Company sold 6,000 units of its product at a price of $88.00 per unit. Tota
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

$218,400

Explanation:

The computation of contribution margin is here below:-

                                               Units       Cost per unit         Total

Sales                                     6,000        $88                       $528,000

Less:

Variable production cost     6,000        $40.8                  $244,800

Variable selling and

administrative costs        6,000         $10.8                   $64,800

Contribution margin                                                           $218,400

Therefore the we multiplied the sale unit with cost per unit, in the similar way we multiplied the Variable production cost unit with cost per unit and Variable selling and administrative costs with cost per unit to reach the contribution margin.

Mikey initially invested $2,400 in a company and has held this investment for 3 years. He sold the investment after 3 years for
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

499.80

Explanation:

There is no 39.6% tax bracket, the highest marginal tax is 37%. But we can assume that Mikey had to pay 39.6% in taxes which means that he is in the seventh tax bracket (highest). Since he is classified under the highest tax bracket, he will also pay the highest capital gains rate which is 20%.

Mikey's long term capital gain = $4,950 - $2,400 = $2,550

if he paid regular income taxes = $2,550 x 39.6% = $1,009.80

since he pays capital gains taxes = $2,550 x 20% = $510

That means he saves $1,009.80 - $510 = 499.80

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. the supply of currency in the foreign exchange market, and the demand for loanable funds.

Explanation:

In an open economy, we must add the external sector, which includes the Trade Balance or net exports and the Capital or Financial Balance.

Net exports, being part of aggregate expenditure, are incorporated into the SI. However, the inflows and outflows of payment commitments or international financial assets are recorded in the capital account, which gives rise to a new curve, the BB.

We know that in an open economy, monetary phenomena depend on the exchange system that the country follows: fixed or flexible exchange rate.

Under a fixed exchange rate, the variable that is permanently and permanently adjusted to an imbalance in the money market is international reserves.

Under the flexible exchange rate, the adjustment variable is the exchange rate.

With a fixed exchange rate, an increase in the money supply pressures upward on the level of domestic prices, which encourages imports and discourages exports, causing us to lose competitiveness against our business partners. This translates into a permanent and definitive loss of international reserves, which thus constitute the adjustment variable, that is, the monetary phenomenon.
