Answer:

amount to be investment in risky portfolio =  $405

amount invest in security x = $243

amount invested in security Y = $162

Explanation:

given data

investing = $1,000

Treasury bills = 5%

optimal weights of X = 60 %

optimal weights of Y = 40 %

expected rate of return x =  14%

expected rate of return y = 10%

solution

we know that

                      weight                     return                     return from risky port

X                     60 %                         14 %                       8.4 %

Y                     40 %                          10 %                       4%

total                                                                                 12.4 %

so here

return from risky portfolio is = 12.4 %

and

return from risk free investment = 5 %

so 'we consider here investment in risky portfolio = x

so investment in risk free  = 1 - x

so we can say that

12.4 % × x + 5 % × (1-x) = 8 %

solve we get

x = 0.405

so investment in risky portfolio = 0.405

so investment in risk free  =0.595

and

amount to be investment in risky portfolio = $1000 × 0.405

amount to be investment in risky portfolio =  $405

and

amount invest in security x = $405 × 60%

amount invest in security x = $243

and

amount invested in security Y = $405 × 60%

amount invested in security Y = $162

Your portfolio is comprised of 36 percent of Stock X, 18 percent of Stock Y, and 46 percent of Stock Z. Stock X has a beta of 1.
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Portfolio´s beta: 1.16

Explanation:

Stock         Percent         Beta Weighted Beta

  X                    36%          1,19                   0,43

  Y                    18%         0,87           0,16

  Z                    46%          1,26           0,58

                                                     1,16

The portfolio beta is obtained by the sum of the individual betas of each stock considering it´s  percent on the portfolio (weighted beta).

It represents the relative volatility of a portfolio relative to the market. More than one means more volatile and less than one means less volatile than the market.

North Around, Inc. stock is expected to return 22 percent in a boom, 13 percent in a normal economy, and −15 percent in a recess
almond37 [142]

Answer:

4.53%

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Expected return = ∑ (Return × probability)

Thus,

Expected return = (0.06 × 22) + (0.92 × 13) + (0.02 × (-15))

= 12.98%

Now,

Probability       Return        Probability × (Return-Expected Return)²

0.06                  22                   0.06 × (22% - 12.98%)² = 4.8816

0.92                  13                    0.92 × (13% - 12.98%)² = 0.000368

0.02                  -15                   0.02 × (-15% - 12.98%)² = 5.657608

========================================================

                                                                            Total = 20.5396%

Standard deviation = \sqrt{\frac{\text{Total probability}\times(\text{Return-Expected Return})^2}{\text{Total probability}}

= √(20.5396)

= 4.53%

Silver Corporation incurred costs of $600,000 for managing the wholesale division during the year. The customer details of the c
elena-s [515]

Answer: $200,000

Explanation:

The cost will be allocated to customer Y, if a cause-effect relationship cannot be established with any cost driver will be calculated thus:

Total sales = $600,000 + $400,000 + $200,000 = $1,200,000

The percentage of Y on total sales will be:

= $400,000/$1,200,000 × 100

= 1/3 × 100

= 33.33%

Therefore, the cost that's allocated to Y will then be:

= $600,000 × 33.33%

= $600,000 × 0.3333

= $200,000

Therefore, the correct answer is $200,000
