You have $106,000 to invest in a portfolio containing Stock X and Stock Y. Your goal is to create a portfolio that has an expect

ed return of 16 percent. Stock X has an expected return of 13 percent and a beta of 1.14, and Stock Y has an expected return of 9.0 percent and a beta of .84.
How much money will you invest in stock Y? (Do not round intermediate calculations. A negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign.)

Answer:  ER(P) = ERX(WX) + ERY(WY)

                   16 = 13(1-WY)  + 9(WY)

                    16 = 13 - 13WY + 9WY

                    16 = 13 - 4WY

                   4WY = 13-16

                   4WY = -3

                     WY = -3/4

                     WY = -0.75

                     WX = 1 - WY

                     WX = 1 - (-0.75)

                     WX = 1 + 0.75

                     WX = 1.75

 The amount to be invested in stock Y = -0.75 x $106,000

                                                                    = -$79,500

The Beta of the portfolio could be calculated using the formula:

                     BP = BX(WX) + BY(WY)

                     BP = 1.14(1.75) + 0.84(-0.75)

                     BP = 1.995 - 0.63

                     BP = 1.365

Explanation: The expected return of the portfolio is equal to expected return of stock X multiplied by the weight of stock X plus the expected return of stock Y multiplied by weight of security Y. The weight of security Y is -0.75. The weight of security X is equal to 1 - weight of security Y. Thus, the weight of security X is 1.75 since the weight of security Y is negative. The amount to be invested in security Y is -0.75 x $106,000, which is equal to -$79,500

The Beta of the portfolio equals Beta of stock X multiplied by weight of stock X plus the Beta of stock Y multiplied by weight of stock Y. The weights of the two stocks have been obtained earlier. Therefore, the Beta of the portfolio is 1.365.

vredina [299]

Answer:

1. Supervisors fit in the middle level of the organization pyramid.

2. A major trend that is changing the role of the supervisor at that level is the concepts of mentoring, coaching, and staff training.  The supervisor's role is expanding to include these activities that will ensure process improvement, enforce adherence to organization's rules, and enable improved cross-functional relationships.

Explanation:

Primarily, supervisors are known to motivate employees, direct the activities of others, select the most effective communication channel, and resolve conflicts among team members.  However, the changing trend now views the supervisor as an educator, sponsor, coach, counselor, and director.  Therefore, the supervisor is expected to deplore all his skill-sets, including effective communication in combination with daily conflict resolution, transformational leadership, critical thinking, interpersonal relationship, time and priority management, and problem-solving skills.

blondinia [14]

Answer: C. an implied contract.

Explanation:

An Implied Contract is one that arises as a result of the way one or both of the parties involved in the contract acts towards the other.

Unlike an Express Contract, it need not be written down but it does have the same legal weight and strength of a written contract.

The basic principle of this contract is that people should always be treated fairly in business transactions so the need to always pen it down is not necessary.

By walking in and leaving his clothes at the laundry, Bill got into an Implied Contract as it would be unfair for Tom to just clean his clothes with no payment.
