Answer: 1.312

Explanation:

GIVEN the following ;

INVESTMENTS :

Amazon - $25,000

Boeing - $18,000

Caterpillar - $36,000

DuPont - $11,000

BETAS :

Amazon - 1.43

Boeing - 0.79

Caterpillar - 1.37

DuPont - 1.71

To calculate the portfolio beta, Take the weighted average of each stock in the entire portfolio. This is done by taking the ratio or proportion of each stock in the portfolio to the entire stock in the portfolio. Then multiply each proportion by the beta value of each stock.

Total stock value of portfolio:

$(25,000 + 18,000 + 36,000 + 11,000) = $90,000

Therefore,portfolio beta is given by:

[(25000/90000) × 1.43] + [(18000/90000) × 0.79] + [(36000/90000) × 1.37] + [(11000/90000) × 1.71]

0.397 + 0.158 + 0.548 + 0.209 = 1.312 = 1.312

Answer:

The beta of the portfolio is 1.312

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is the weighted average of the individual stocks' betas that form the portfolio. To calculate the portfolio beta, we will multiply the individual stock betas by their weightage in the portfolio that can be found by the investment in stock divided by the total investment in portfolio.

Total Investment in portfolio is 25000 + 18000 + 36000 + 11000 = 90000

The portfolio beta is,

Portfolio beta = 25/90 * 1.43  +  18/90 * 0.79  +  36/90 * 1.37  +  11/90 * 1.71

Portfolio beta = 1.312

Answer:

<em>Net operating income  $8,950</em>

Explanation:

<em>The overall impact on the net operating income is the amount of increase in contribution from the addtional sales less the increase in monthly advertising budget. </em>

<em>                                                          $</em>

Contribution = ($75 × 190) =     14,250

Fixed cost - advertising       <u>    ( 5,300)   </u>    

Net operating income          <u>     8950</u>

Please, note that the fixed costs of $194,000 per month are not relevant for this decision. Simply because they would be incurred either way and that are not completely traceable to the increase sales.

jonny [76]

Answer:

Percentage of total return = 7.93%

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

Number of share = 160

Value = $27 per share

Gain distribution = $0.14 cent per share

Market value of fund = $25 per share

Total return for investment = $0.14 × 160 + ($27 - $25) × 160

= $342.5

The value of total return  percentage = $0.14 × 160 + ($27 - $25) × 160 ÷ (160 × $27)

= 0.0793

=7.93%
