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%

elena55 [62]

Answer:

The number of ounces started and completed during the period is <u>42,000 ounces</u>.

Explanation:

The number of ounces started and completed during the period can be computed by simply deducting the beginning work in process from the number of ounces completed.

Since we have the following from the question:

Number of ounces completed by Filling = 46,000 ounces

Beginning work in process = 4,000 ounces

Therefore, we have:

Number of ounces started and completed = Number of ounces completed by Filling - Beginning work in process = 46,000 ounces - 4,000 ounces = 42,000 ounces

Therefore, the number of ounces started and completed during the period is <u>42,000 ounces</u>.

A company determined that the budgeted cost of producing a product is $30 per unit. On June 1, there were 80,000 units on hand,
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

c) $9,000,000

Explanation:

The cost of good sold = Cost per unit × Quantity sold

  Quantity sold = 300,000, cost per unit = $30

The cost of sold = $30 × 300,000 =  $9,000,000

This can be confirmed as follows:

                                                                  Unit

opening inventory                                     80,000

Production(see note below)                    <u> 340,000</u>

Available or sale                                       420,000

Closing inventory                                    <u>(120,000)</u>

Units sold                                                 <u>300,000</u>        

Cost of units sold = 300,000 × $30 = $9,000,000

Note :

Production budget = sales budget + closing inventory - opening inventory

= 300,000 + 120,000 - 80,000 = 340,000 units

Because your mother is about to retire, she wants to buy an annuity that will provide her with $75,000 of income a year for 20 y
siniylev [52]

The calculated present value of the annuity is $915,166.70.

Explanation and Solution:

Annuity is a collection of fixed payments made or earned either at the close or at the beginning of any term such that a significant initial payment or receipt may be turned into a set of comparatively minor payments or receipts. An annuity that lasts indefinitely is called perpetuity.

The formula for the present value of the annuity is given by:

P = \frac{1- (1+i)^{-n} }{i}  * R

Where;

R = annual payment = $75,000

i = interest rate = 5.25%

P = Present value of annuity

n = number of years = 20 years

P = \frac{1- (1+5.25)^{-20} }{5.25}  * 75,000

P = $915,166.70
