Answer:

The proportion of funds invested in stock A is 66.67% or 2/3 of the total investment in the portfolio.

Explanation:

The portfolio beta is the sum of the weighted average of the individual stock betas that form up the portfolio. The portfolio beta is a measure of risk of the portfolio. The formula for portfolio beta is,

Portfolio beta = wA * Beta of A + wB * Beta of B + ... + wN * Beta of N

Where w is the weight of each individual stock in the portfolio.

The beta of the market portfolio is always equal to one. Thus, taking this as portfolio beta, we can calculate the weighatge of each stock in the portfolio.

Let x be the weighatge of investment in stock A

Then (1 - x) will be the weightage of stock B.

1 = x * 0.8  +  (1-x) * 1.4

1 = 0.8x + 1.4 - 1.4x

1 - 1.4  =  -0.6x

-0.4 / -0.6  = x

x = 0.6667 or 66.67% or 2/3

Thus, the proportion of funds invested in stock A is 66.67%

Lisa [10]

Answer:

The best transfer price to avoid transfer price problems is $2,310

Explanation:

Transfer Price = Variable cost + Fixed Fee

Variable Cost = Direct Material + Direct labor + Variable Overhead

                       = 600 + 1,200 + 300

                       = 2,100

Transfer Price = Variable cost + Fixed Fee

                        = 2,100 + 210

                        = $2,310

Therefore, The best transfer price to avoid transfer price problems is $2,310

Explain what happens when markets do not have enough competition.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The price will be higher and output lower in absence of competition.

Explanation:

When the market does not have enough competition, it provides a certain degree of market power to the existing producers. They are able to regulate prices and output.  

It is likely that the suppliers will provide a fewer quantities of goods at a higher price, in order to maximize their profits. The socially optimal level of output will not be produced in the market.  

The resources will not be efficiently allocated and deadweight loss will exist.
