Answer:

$7073.68

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Worth of portfolio = $15,000

Amount invested in stock A = $6,000

Beta of stock A = 1.63

Beta of stock B = 0.95

Beta of portfolio = 1.10

Now,

Beta portfolio = ∑(Weight × Beta)

let the amount invested in Stock B be 'x'

thus,

1.10 = [($6,000 ÷ $15,000 ) × 1.63] +  [( x ÷ $15,000 ) × 0.95 ]

or

1.10 = 0.652 + [( x ÷ $15,000 ) × 0.95 ]

or

0.448 = [( x ÷ $15,000 ) × 0.95 ]

or

x = ( 0.448 × $15,000 ) ÷ 0.95

or

x = $7073.68

Zepler [3.9K]

\text{Hello there!}

A Purchasing Specialist is sometimes referred as a \bold{Procurement Manager.}

This is because they're responsible for purchasing/procuring supplies.

They relatively have the same roles, however, occasionally referred to by different names.

\text{The job of the} \bold{Purchasing\;Manager} \text{\;is to purchase supplies for the company.}

\text{For example, purchasing lettuce for a} \bold{fast\;food\;restaurant.}

\text{The job of the\;} \bold{Purchasing\;Agent} \text{is to buy supplies that the company needs.}

\text{The job of the} \bold{Procurement\;Manager} \text{has the same responsibilities as the}\bold{Purchasing\;Manager.}

Therefore, all of the possible referred answers are going to be correct.

The only differences are going to be the names.

newspaper publisher uses roughly 800 feet of baling wire each day to secure bundles of newspapers while they are being distribut
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Reorder point quantity is the level at which an inventory is expected to be restocked , calculated by finding the sum of demand over the lead time and the safety stock days

Daily usage = 800 feet / day

Lead time = 6 days

Desired service level = 95%

Risk level = 1-0.95 =0.05

safety stock at 0.05 = 1800

Reorder point = expected demand  in (LT) + safety stock

= (800*6) + 1800

= 4800+1800 = 6600 feet.

A short forward contract that was negotiated some time ago will expire in 12-month and has a delivery price of $49.25. The curre
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

$3.04

Explanation:

F = (K - F0)*e^(-r*T) <em>Where f = current value of forward contract, F0 = forward price agreed upon today, K = delivery price for a contract negotiated, r = risk-free interest rate applicable to the life of forward contract, T = delivery date</em>

<em />

F = ($49.25-$46.00)*e^(-0.0665*12/12)

F = $3.25*e^(-0.0665)

F = $3.25*0.935662916

F = $3.040904477

F = $3.04

So, the value of the short forward contract is $3.04.
