Answer:

The answer is "21,622.98".

Explanation:

In the given question some information is missing, which can be defined in the given attachment.

To calculate the first cost we first subtract B cost is to X.      

NPV = Cash Flow of the sum of PV amount  

PV = \frac{Flow of cash} {(1+i)^n} \\\\ \ Calculating \ the \ NPV \ of \ option \ A: \\\\

= \frac{-16600}{(1 + 0.08)^0}-\frac{2400}{(1 + 0.08)^1}-\frac{2400}{(1 + 0.08)^2} -\frac{2400}{(1 + 0.08)^3}-\frac{2400}{(1 + 0.08)^4}

= \frac{-16600}{1}-\frac{2400}{1.08}-\frac{2400}{1.16}-\frac{2400}{1.25}-\frac{2400}{1.36}

=-16600-2222.22-2068.96-1920-1764.70\\\\=-24,575.88

The value of Option A or NPV = -24,575.88

The value of Option B or NPV:

=-\frac{X}{(1 + 0.80)^0}-\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.08)^1} -\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.08)^2}-\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.08)^3}-\frac{1000}{(1 + 0.08)^4} \\\\ =-\frac{X}{(1.80)^0}-\frac{1000}{(1.08)^1} -\frac{1000}{(1.08)^2}-\frac{1000}{(1.08)^3}-\frac{1000}{(1.08)^4}

= -\frac{X}{1}-\frac{1000}{1.08}-\frac{1000}{1.16}-\frac{1000}{1.25}-\frac{1000}{1.36}\\\\= -X -555.55-862.06-800-735.29\\\\=-X -2952.9

The value of Option B or NPV = -X -2952.9

As demanded  

In Option B  the value of NPV = In Option A  the value of  NPV  

-X -2952.9= -24,575.88\\\\-X= -21,622.98\\\\X=21,622.98\\

You purchased XYZ stock at $50 per share. The stock is currently selling at $80. You expect the stock price to go up, but not 10
Anton [14]

Answer:

"Stop-loss order" is the right answer.

Explanation:

According to the question,

Purchase price,

= $50

Current selling price,

= $80

Current gains,

= $30

  • Investors begin to give their earnings if somehow the market capitalization begins to fall beneath $80. In advance to minimize this, we need to set a purchase requisition of $80 for stop-loss.
  • So whenever the market decreases beyond $80, with us investments are traded, and thereby the existing profits of $30 have been safeguarded.

Thus, the above is the correct explanation.

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

0.67

Explanation:

Beta measures the systemic risk of a portfolio

The portfolio's beta can be determined by adding together the weighted beta of each stock in the portfolio

weighed beta of a stock = percentage of the stock in the portfolio x beta of the stock  

total number of stocks in the portfolio 400 + 290 + 700 = 1390

(400 / 1390 x 0.6) + (290 / 1390 x 1.2) + (700 / 1390 x 0.5) =

0.17 + 0.25 + 0.25 = 0.67
