Answer: 2.77

Explanation:

Portfolio Beta is the Weighted Average Beta of all the individual stocks in a portfolio.

Seeing as the other betas and proportions are given, we can plug this into a formula to find out the beta of stock B.

In case you do not see a beta for the U.S. Treasury bills that's fine because beta is a measure of risk and U.S. Treasury bills have NONE so that means that their better is 0.

And if you are wondering what the beta of stock A is, the answer is 1 because that is the beta of the overall market by definition.

Creating a formula therefore we have,

1.75 = 0.17(0) + 0.31(1) + 0.52x

0.52x = 1.75 - 0.31

0.52x = 1.44

x = 2.76923076923

x = 2.77 (2dp)

2.77 is the beta of Stock B.

Answer:

2.53

Explanation:

Stock A beta would be equal to 1

Portfolio beta=Respective betas*Respective weights

1.75=(0.17*0)+(0.31*1)+(0.57*beta of stock B)(Beta of Treasury bills=0)

1.75=0.31+0.57beta of stock B

Hence beta of stock B=(1.75-0.31/0.57

=2.53(Approx)

Brandon, an analyst at Agency A, rents a car at $40 per day. Due to a rental company discount, if a car is rented for 4 or more
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

62.5%

Explanation:

In this example, Brandon rented the car for 6 consecutive days. This means that he was able to take advantage of the promotion. Therefore, he only paid for five days (got one day free) at a rate of $30 per day (as opposed to $40). Therefore, he paid:

$30 * 5 = 150

On the other hand, Whitney rented a car for three days. She did not qualify for the discount, which means that she paid for all her days, at a rate of $40 per day. Therefore, she paid:

$40 * 3 = 120

To obtain the average daily rate of each person, we would need to divide this final rate by the number of days each person used a car. That would look like this:

Brandon: $150 / 6 = $25

Whitney: $120 / 3 = $40

Therefore, when comparing these two numbers, we see that the average daily rate paid by Brandon is 62.5% percentage of the average daily rate paid by Whitney.

Serggg [28]

Answer:
