Answer:

6.5%

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Beta of the stock = 0.9

Expected return = 9%

A risk-free asset = 4%

By considering the above information, the expected return on a portfolio is

= Risk - free asset × equally basis  + expected rate of return × equally basis

= 4% × 50% + 9% × 50%

= 2% + 4.5%

= 6.5%

Since we have to find out the expected return on equally invested so we considered the risk free asset and the expected rate of return

Therefore we ignored the beta of the stock

Several years ago a city established a sinking fund to retire an issue of general obligation bonds. This year the city made a 55
Amanda [17]

Answer: c. Debt Service Fund and General Fund

Explanation:

The Sinking fund is a Debt Service Fund as it was created to retire some general obligation bonds. Every transaction that had to do with the retirement of debt as well as contribution to the retirement of debt would go in this account.

The General fund is also needed because this is the main fund of a Government entity. Everything that does not go through special funds is recorded here. This Fund therefore would show that the city made a $550,000 contribution to the sinking fund.

An operator wants to determine the standard deviation for a machine she operates. To do this, she wants to create a p-chart. Ove
kondaur [170]

Answer:

The answer is letter A.

Explanation:

Less than or equal to 0.1

Because:

Average proportion (P-bar)= 0.024

Observations (n)= 75

sd =√(P-bar)(1-(P-bar)/n

sd =√(0.024)(1-0.024)/75

sd= √(0.024)(0.976)/75

sd= √(0.023424)/75

sd= 0.01767

sd ≤ 0.1

You are writing a proposal to restructure your department's organizational chart. Your manager was a member of the committee tha
Bess [88]

Answer:

a. the purpose of this proposal is to show how we can reorganize our department to improve our efficiency while keeping intact the values that have allowed us to succeed to this point.

Explanation:

If you are writing a restructuring proposal, it means that you have mapped out points that can be improved in your department. However, the organizational structures of firms can rarely be changed drastically. What are usually applicable are the policies for improving processes, so that they become more and more efficient. This applies in general, but especially if you are going to propose changes to a structure that was designed by a superior of yours, who probably has more experience than you. Thus, you must present a restructuring project that identifies points to be improved, that proposes alternatives for improvement, but that maintains the values policy that was instituted by your manager. In this way, your manager will see your contribution as adding value to the structure and your work will be valued.
