Answer:

16.62%

Explanation:

First, use CAPM to find the expected return of each stock;

r= risk free + beta (market risk premium)

<u>UPS;</u>

r = 0.06 +(1.6*0.09)

r = 0.204 or 20.4%

<u>Walmart;</u>

r = 0.06 + (0.9*0.09)

r = 0.141 or 14.1%

Next find the return of portfolio;

Let  UPS be represented by <em>U </em>and Wal-Mart by <em>W</em>

rP = wU*rU + wW*rW

P= portfolio

w= weight of...

r = return of....

rP = (0.40*0.204) + (0.60 * 0.141)

rP = 0.0816 + 0.0846

rP = 0.1662 or 16.62%

Therefore, the expected return on a portfolio  is 16.62%

Grand Energy Corporation (GE) plans to issue bonds to raise $190 million. GE's investment banker will charge 5 percent of the to
Pavlova-9 [17]

The number of bonds that GE must sell to net $190 million after flotation costs is 200,000 bonds.

<h3>Number of bonds</h3>

First step is to calculate the amount issue

Net proceeds = Amount of issue x (1 - Flotation costs)

$190,000,000 = Amount of issue x (1 - 0.05)

Amount of issue = $190,000,000/0.95

Amount of issue= $200,000,000

Second step is to calculate number of bonds

Number of bonds = $200,000,000/$1,000

Number of bonds= 200,000 bonds

Inconclusion the number of bonds that GE must sell to net $190 million after flotation costs is 200,000 bonds.

What is the key to making extemporaneous speech sound professional and natural
Usimov [2.4K]
Well mainly extemporaneous speeches can be hard,  finding the right words without advanced notice may not be for every speaker. But trust me! No need to worry..... :) The extemporaneous speech is a perfect balance!!!!! This speech involves the speaker's use of notes and some embellishment to deliver a speech. To clear this up, a speaker who uses this method would have note cards or prompts that guide him from point to point, but he uses his own words as he goes along. What makes this different than an impromptu speech is that he has a loose guideline for his speech. He did not memorize anything....... he just used cues to know where to go next.
There are advantages but there are disadvantages to this type of speech sadly..... :(  For one, the audience will think you are a genius. You used few notes and appeared to know everything about the topic. But this is not something that can be done quickly. The same fact finding and research used for other types of speeches must be used here. The speaker also must rehearse this speech for timing, rhythm and flow. Now, if shooting from the hip is not your style, you may want to consider reading your speech!!!! :) But ya. I hope this is better. XD sorry about that.
