Answer:

The portfolio return is 12.6% and the portfolio SD is 15.4%. Thus, option a is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The expected return of a portfolio is the weighted average of the individual stock returns that form up the portfolio. Thus, the expected return for a two stock portfolio is,

Return of Portfolio =  wA * rA  +  wB * rB

Where,

  • w represents the weight of each stock in the portfolio
  • r represents the return of each stock

Portfolio return = 0.7 * 0.15  +  0.3 * 0.07  =  0.126  or 12.6%

The standard deviation of a two stock portfolio containing one risky and one risk free asset is the weight of risky asset in the portfolio multiplied by the standard deviation of the risky asset. The risk free asset has zero standard deviation.

Standard deviation of such a portfolio is,

Portfolio SD = w of risky asset * SD of risky asset

Portfolio SD = 0.7 * 0.22  

Portfolio SD = 0.154 or 15.4%

The opportunity cost of an item is a. what you give up to get that item. b. usually less than the dollar value of the item. c. t
Jobisdone [24]

Answer: a

Explanation:

Opportunity costs represent the benefits an individual, investor or business misses out on when choosing one alternative over another. While financial reports do not show opportunity cost, business owners can use it to make educated decisions when they have multiple options before them.

Because by definition they are unseen, opportunity costs can be easily overlooked if one is not careful. Understanding the potential missed opportunities foregone by choosing one investment over another allows for better decision-making.

Opportunity cost analysis also plays a crucial role in determining a business's capital structure. While both debt and equity require expense to compensate lenders and shareholders for the risk of investment, each also carries an opportunity cost. Funds used to make payments on loans, for example, are not being invested in stocks or bonds, which offer the potential for investment income. The company must decide if the expansion made by the leveraging power of debt will generate greater profits than it could make through investments.

Suppose that technological advancements stimulate $20 billion in additional investment spending. If the MPC = 0.6, how much will
grin007 [14]

Answer:

option (D) $50 billion.

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Additional investment spending = $20 billion

MPC = 0.6

Now,

Increase in aggregate demand = [1 ÷ (1 - mpc) ] × Investment

or

Increase in aggregate demand =  [1 ÷ (1 - 0.4) ] ×  $20 billion

or

Increase in aggregate demand = (1 ÷ 0.4) × $20 billion

or

Increase in aggregate demand = 2.5 × $20 billion

or

Increase in aggregate demand = $50 billion

Hence.

the correct answer is option (D) $50 billion.

jekas [21]

Answer:

d. 108 days

Explanation:

Average Inventory = (Beginning balance + Ending balance) / 2

Average Inventory = ($139,000 + $158,000) / 2

Average Inventory = $297,000 / 2

Average Inventory = $148,500

Inventory Turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold / Average Inventory

Inventory Turnover ratio =  $501,000 / $148,500

Inventory Turnover ratio = 3.37 times

Average days to sell inventory = Days in a year / Inventory Turnover ratio

Average days to sell inventory = 365 days / 3.37 times

Average days to sell inventory = 108.31 days
