Answer:

65% of the portfolio is invested in stock.

Explanation:

The weight of stock is assumed to be x.  

Then, the Weight of Risk-Free Stock will be 1 - x.

Beta\ of\ Portfolio\ =\ Weight\ of\ Stock\ \times\ Beta\ of\ Stock\ +\ Weight\ of\ Risk\ free\ asset\ \times\ Beta\ of\ Risk\ Free\ Asset

Beta of Portfolio =x\ \times\ 1.17\ +\ [\ ( 1\ -\ x)\ \times\ 0]

0.76 = 1.17 x

x = 0.76 / 1.17

x =0.64957

x = 64.957%

So, 65% of the portfolio is invested in stock.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

The answer is: 3) Printed media

Explanation:

This is already happening, cell phones and tablets have already replaced digital cameras, Netflix is replacing cable TV and sooner than later cell phones and tablets will replace printed media completely.

Ask yourself, when was the last time you bought a newspaper? I haven´t bought a newspaper in years but I can also guarantee that I read more news outlets today that ever before. I can read the New York Times, The Washington Post, Sports Illustrated, etc. all on my cellphone. Using my phone is cheaper and faster (and also more ecological) than buying a printed version. In a few years probably no newspaper will have a printed edition, not even magazines will be printed anymore.

Ann [662]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": helped support some weaker European countries during the recent financial crisis.

Explanation:

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) is a U.S. based part of the United Nations (UN) agency that promotes international economic prosperity by cooperating with least-favored nations to reduce their unemployment rates. The fund has 189 members and had a vital contribution in the Western European economic recovery after their recent financial crisis as a consequence of unemployment, drop of purchasing power and public debt.

Caddie Manufacturing has a target debt-equity ratio of .95. Its cost of equity is 11 percent, and its pretax cost of debt is 7 p
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

8.20%

Explanation:

Debt equity ratio = 0.95

or

Debt = 0.95 × equity

Cost of equity, ke = 11% or 0.11

Pretax cost of debt, kd = 7% or 0.07

Tax rate = 24% or 0.24

Therefore;

WACC = {Weight of equity × ke } + {Weight of debt × kd × (1-Tax rate)}

It is to be noted that ;

Weight of equity = Equity ÷ (Debt + Equity)

= Equity ÷ ( 0.95×Equity + Equity)

=1 ÷ 1.95

=0.513

Also,

Weight of debt = Debt ÷ ( Debt + Equity)

=0.95 × Equity ÷ ( 0.95 × Equity + Equity)

= 0.95 ÷ 1.95

=0.487

Hence,

WACC = {0.513 × 0.11} + {0.487 × 0.07 × (1-0.24)}

= {0.05643} + {0.03409 × 0.76}

= 0.0823384

or

0.0823384 × 100%

=8.23384

=8.20%
