Answer:

Expected return on stock =14.1 0%

Explanation:

The Capital Asset pricing Model (CAPM) can be used to determined the expected return on the stock.  

<em>According to the Capital Asset pricing Model the expected return on stock  is dependent on the level of reaction of the the stock to changes in the return on a market portfolio. </em>

These changes are captured as systematic risk. The magnitude by which a stock is affected by systematic risk is measured by beta.  

Under CAPM, Ke= Rf + β(Rm-Rf)  

Rf-risk-free rate (treasury bill rate), β= Beta, Rm= Return on market, Ke-return on stock

Using this model, we can work out the return on stock as follows:

DATA

Ke-?

Rf- 4.5%

β-1.2 8

Rm- 12%

Ke = 4.5% + 1.28× (12-4.5)%=14.1 0%

Expected return on stock =14.1 0%

NeTakaya

Answer:

Option B (150) is the correct answer.

Given:

Nominal GDP,

= $900

Money velocity,

= 6

As we know,

⇒ Nominal \ GDP=Quantity \ of \ demanded \ money\times Money \ velocity

By putting the vales, we get

⇒                    900=Quantity\times 6  

⇒           Quantity=\frac{900}{6}

⇒                           =150

What are the portfolio weights for a portfolio that has 190 shares of Stock A that sell for $95 per share and 165 shares of Stoc
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

Portfolio weight - Stock A =  46.473%

Portfolio weight - Stock B = 53.527%

Explanation:

The weightage of portfolio refers to the amount of investment in each stock in the portfolio expressed as a percentage of total investment in the portfolio. The weightage of portfolio can be calculated by as follows,

Portfolio weightage = Investment in Stock A / Total Investment in Portfolio  +

Investment in Stock B / Total Investment in Portfolio  +  ...  +  

Investment in Stock N / Total Investment in Portfolio

Total investment in portfolio = 190 * 95  +  165 * 126  = 38840

Investment in Stock A = 190 * 95 = 18050

Investment in Stock B = 165 * 126 = 20790

Portfolio weight - Stock A = 18050 / 38840 = 46.473%

Portfolio weight - Stock B = 20790 / 38840 =53.527%

A country reported nominal GDP of $115 billion in 2010 and $125 billion in 2009. It also reported a GDP deflator of 85 in 2010 a
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

<h2>In this case,the correct answer is option b. or real output rose and price level fell.</h2>

Explanation:

GDP Deflator in Macroeconomics,shows the inflation or deflation rate in a country within the specific time period.Hence,it measures the changes in the average price level of goods and services in any country or economy over a particular period of time.It is mathematically calculated by dividing the nominal GDP of the country or economy by its real GDP.Now,a decrease in the nominal GDP relative to the real GDP or GDP deflator implies an deflationary impact or an increase in the average price level of goods and services in the economy and vise versa.Note that in this case both the nominal GDP and GDP deflator decreased from 2009 to 2010 which advocates that the price level in the economy fell(deflation) and the real output or GDP rose or increased due to deflationary impacts as reflected by the decline in GDP deflator.

Less: Residual value  <u>$12,000</u>

                                   $57,000

b. Depreciation rate per mile is computed by dividing cost of the truck less the residual value over the estimated useful life.

$57,000 / 300,000 miles = $0.19

c. Units-of-activity depreciation for the year is computed by multiplying miles driven for the year by depreciation rate per mile.

77,000 miles x $0.19 = $14,630
