Answer

2

Explanation:

Cost index in dollar - value LIFO method is used to determine the change in prices since the beginning of he base year by comparing the year end inventory to the base layer cost.

The extended cost of the ending inventory at the most recent  price is divided by the cost of the ending inventory at the base year price.

Workings

Cost in term of base layer = $50,000

Cost in term of the layer layer $100,000

Cost index = 100000/50000 = 2

You have a $50,000 portfolio consisting of Intel, GE, and Con Edison. You put $20,000 in Intel, $12,000 in GE, and the rest in C
Marrrta [24]

Answer: 1.048

Explanation:

First let us calculate the amount in Con Edison

= 50,000 - 20,000 - 12,000

= $18,000

To calculate the Portfolio Beta, you take the sum of the respective betas of the various stocks in the portfolio multiplied by their proportion in the portfolio.

Intel = 20,000/50,000

= 2/5

GE = 12,000/50,000

= 6/25

Con Edison = 18,000/50,000

= 9/25

Adding them up we will have

= (1.3*2/5) + (1*6/25) + (0.8*9/25)

= 1.048
