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

Lerok [7]

Answer: necessity entrepreneur

Explanation: While an entrepreneur is described as someone who organizes and operates a business venture and assumes much of the associated risks, necessity entrepreneurs only do so out of necessity (the quality or state of being necessary, unavoidable, or absolute requisite). As such, they are individuals ranging from educated persons to street sellers especially in developing countries who create small businesses or enterprises out of the need to survive. In Michael Peters' case, he lost his job due to downsizing which caused him to apply his skills and talents to starting up a business.

The rate on T-bills is currently 5%. P. Tree Company stock has a beta of 1.69 and a required rate of return of 15.4%. According
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

11.15%

Explanation:

Given that

Risk free rate of return= 5%

Beta = 1.69

Expected rate of return = 15.4%

As per capital asset pricing model

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

15.4% = 5% + 1.69 × (Market rate of return - 5%)

After solving this

Market rate of return = 11.15%

Income rises from $3,500 to $4,000 a month and the quantity demanded of good X falls from 7 to 5 units a month. Income elasticit
finlep [7]

Answer:

E) -2.50 ; inferior

Explanation:

Before you earned $3,500 per month, you consumed 7 units per month. That means that you consumed 1 unit every $500 earned.

When your income increased to $4,000, you only consumed 5 units per month. That means that your consumption decreased to 1 unit for every $800.

The income elasticity of demand using the midpoint method is calculated by using the following formula:

income elasticity = {change in quantity demanded / [(old quantity + new quantity) / 2]} /  {change in income / [(old income + new income) / 2]}  

= {-2 / [(7 + 5) / 2]} /  {500 / [(3,500 + 4,000) / 2]} = (-2 / 6) / (500 / 3,750) = -0.333 / 0.133 = -2.5

Since the income elasticity of demand is negative, the good X is an inferior good.
