Answer: The TPP could lead to income disparity and also increase in the prices of certain products.

Explanation:

The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) was a free trade agreement that was made between the United States of America and eleven other countries. The TPP was between Canada, Vietnam, Japan, Peru Australia, Brunei, Mexico, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United States.

The TPP was met with political resistance because it was believed that free trade agreements will lead to income inequality especially in high income countries as most of the gains gotten would go to employees with high income.

Also, the TPP protected patents and copyrights and this could have led to more income for the owners of intellectual property which could have led to a reduction in the availability of cheap drugs.

You have $250,000 to invest in a stock portfolio. Your choices are Stock H, with an expected return of 12.9 percent, and Stock L
prisoha [69]

Answer:

The investment in stock H will be $104837.5 while the investment in stock L will be $145162.5

Explanation:

The portfolio return is the weighted average return of the individual stocks that form up the portfolio. The weightage of each stock in the portfolio is the investment in a stock as a proportion of investment in the portfolio.

Let x be the weightage of Stock H.

Weightage of Stock L will be (1-x).

Portfolio return = wH * rH  +  wL * rL

Plugging in the values,

0.111 = x  * 0.129   +   (1-x) * 0.098

0.111 = 0.129x  +  0.098  -  0.098x

0.111- 0.098  =  0.031x

0.013 / 0.031  = x

x = 0.41935 or 41.935% rounded off to 3 decimal places

(1-x) = 1 - 0.41935  =  0.58065 or 58.065%

Investment in Stock H = 250000 * 41.935%  =  $104837.5

Investment in Stock L = 250000 * 58.065%  =   $145162.5

QUESTION 31 Kumar Consulting operates several stock investment portfolios that are used by firms for investment of pension plan
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

The portfolio's alpha is - 0.15%

Explanation:

For computing the portfolio's alpha, first, we have to compute the expected rate of return. The formula is shown below:

Expected rate of return = Risk free rate of return + Beta × (realized rate of return - free rate of return)

= 7% + 1.15 × (12% -  7%)

= 7% + 1.15 × 5%

= 7% + 5.75%

= 12.75%

Now the portfolio alpha equal to

= Expected rate of return -  portfolio realized rate of return

=  12.75% - 12.6%

= - 0.15%
