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.

A lawn service company has the following production possibilities. With​ one, two,​ three, and four​ workers, the company can mo
Marianna [84]

Answer: Third

Explanation:

Diminishing returns to labor refers to the phenomenon where every additional worker leads to an increase in production at a decreasing rate.

Using the scenario described, when there was only one employee the company could mow 4 lawns a day. They added a 2nd worker and that figure went to 9 lawns a day which is an increase of FIVE.

When they added a 3rd worker, the figure again went up but only to 12 which is an increase of THREE only as opposed to the last increase of FIVE.

After the third worker therefore, there was an increase but at a smaller rate.

You have $12,500 you want to invest for the next 30 years. You are offered an investment plan that will pay you 7 percent per ye
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

Balance after 30 years = $151,018.50

Explanation:

In order to calculate this, we will calculate the future value on an amount invested, gaining interest over the years of investment, and this is given by:

FV = PV (1 + r)^{t}

where:

FV = future value

PV = present value

r = interest rate

t = time in years.

Hence the future value is calculated as follows:

1. For the first 10 years at 7% interest:

7% interest = 7/100 = 0.07

FV = 12,500 (1 + 0.07)^{10}

FV = 12,500 (1.07)^{10}\\FV = 12,500 * 1.967 = 24,589.392

2. For the last 20 years at 9.5%(0.095) interest:

Note that for the remaining 20 years, the present value (PV) used = 24,589.392, as ending balance after the first 10 years

FV = 24,589.392 (1 + 0.095)^{20}

FV = 24,589.392 (1.095)^{20}\\FV= 24,589.392 * 6.1416\\FV = 151,018.496

Total Future value earned = $151,018.50

If the quantity supplied by producers is relatively insensitive to price changes, supply is ______. Multiple choice question.
luda_lava [24]

If the quantity supplied by producers is relatively insensitive to price changes, supply is price inelastic.

Inelastic demand is demand for which the change in quantity demanded is small due to changes in price. Demand is elastic if the formula yields an absolute value greater than 1. In other words, quantity changes faster than price. If the value is less than 1, demand is inelastic.

For example, consumers are less price relatively insensitive if the product or service is unique or has few alternatives. Consumers are less price sensitive when total costs are low relative to total revenues. The total effort compared to the total cost of the final product also influences price sensitivity.
