Answer:

80%

Explanation:

In order to calculate this, we use the portfolio expected rate of return (PERR) as follows:

PERR = Rf + (Rp - Rf)y …………………………………………….. (1)

Where;

PERR = Portfolio expected rate of return = 14%, 0.14

Rf = T-bill rate = 6%, or 0.06

Rp = Expected rate of return = 16%, 0.16

Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:

0.14 = 0.06 + (0.16 – 0.06)y

0.14 – 0.06 = 0.10y

y = 0.08/0.10 = 0.80, or 80%

Therefore, the proportion y is 80%

Apple anticipates it will sell 100,000 units in the coming year. It is considering investing in a new machine that will increase
Vilka [71]

Incomplete question. However, it would be inferred you want to know the requirements to calculate net income.

<u><em>Explanation</em></u>:

Remember, net income is total revenue minus total cost. Since Apple anticipates selling 100,000 units, if we assume the fixed cost to be $2,400 and the variable cost $34, and selling price unit is $150.

  • Total cost= 2400+ (34*100,000)= 3,400,000
  • Total Revenue= 150*100,000= $15,000,000
  • Net income= 15,000,000-3,400,000= $11,600,000

The Net income is therefore $11,600,000.

Dax has been promoted to a first-line manager. Dax's new position will require him to spend a lot of time
monitta

Answer

This new position as a first line manager will require him to operate his departments. This role requires him to assign tasks, manage the work flow, monitor the quality of work, solve the employees problems and keep informing the middle and executive managers on challenges and success on the ground level of the company.

Explanations

First-line managers provide firsthand information on true challenges and can offer better and workable solutions. This is because they have the immediate view of the outcomes of the policies, strategies, marketing approaches and production capabilities of the company. They have the ear of upper managers, where they will offer solutions that can improve the processes in the company and the procedures. In addition to that, first-line managers are expected by the work-group employees to protect them from policies and initiatives which are unreasonable.
