A stock portfolio's overall beta is found by multiplying each stock's beta times the percentage of the overall portfolio it makes up and adding these terms together. Since the current portfolio's beta is known, we can treat all the stocks in the portfolio as a single stock for calculating its weight in the new portfolio. Thus, our new portfolio will have a value of $150,000, $100,000, or 2/3, of which has a beta of 1.5 and $50,000, or 1/3, of which has a beta of 3. Then the beta of the new portfolio will be 1.5*(2/3) + 3*(1/3) = 2.

A sink has two faucets: one for hot water and one for cold water. The sink can be filled by a cold water faucet in 3 minutes. If
iragen [17]

Answer: 6\ minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the following formula:

\frac{T}{A}+\frac{T}{B}=1

You can say that "T" is the time (in minutes) for both faucets working together, "A" is the time (in minutes) for cold water faucet working alone and "B" is the time (in minutes) for hot water faucet working alone.

Based on the data given in the exercise, you can identify that:

T=2\\A=3

Therefore, substituting these values into the formula and solving for "B", you get that this is:

\frac{2}{3}+\frac{2}{B}=1\\\\\frac{2}{B}=1-\frac{2}{3}\\\\\frac{2}{B}=\frac{1}{3}\\\\2=\frac{1}{3}B\\\\2*3=B\\\\B=6
