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.

Perry Mazza wants to borrow $30,000 from the bank. The interest rate is 5% and the term is for 5 years.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

The amount of interest paid is $ 1,500.

Explanation:

Given that Perry Mazza wants to borrow $ 30,000 from the bank, and the interest rate is 5% and the term is for 5 years, to determine what is the amount of interest paid, the following calculation must be performed:

(30,000 x 5) / 100 = X

150,000 / 100 = X

1,500 = X

Therefore, the amount of interest paid is $ 1,500.
