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.

g Compare and contrast a four Ps approach to marketing versus the value approach (creating, communicating, delivering and exchan
abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The 4Ps are Product, Pricing, Promotion, Place.

Explanation:

Thinking about it carefully, one would note that there is really nothing to contrast between the value approach which is Creating, Communicating, Delivering and Exchanging Value.

Let's make the comparisons:

  • Products and Services are Created. It's impossible to have a product or service that is not created.

The inherent quality of a Utility or Product or Service is that they are value which is Created. So in describing the marketing approach, one can use both interchangeably.

  • Pricing vs Exchanging Value

Again there is a parallel here. Price is the value you have put on your product or service. Without price, it's difficult to exchange value. Again in the marketing process/approach, it's difficult to separate the two. In both approaches, pricing and Exchanging Value as steps in the marketing approach can be used interchangeably.

  • Communicating vs Promotion

This is also another parallel. Promotion is simply another way to communicate the value of your product. Both are really not different.

  • Delivering Value vs Place

Place under the 4 Ps approach speaks to the location where the product is delivered. Again it's clear to see that both cannot be separated.

In conclusion, assuming all factors are the same and held constant between two companies A and B, if company A follows the 4Ps approach and company B follows the Value approach, they are most likely to arrive at the same results.

Cheers!

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The journal entry to record depletion is  :

Debit : Depletion Expense $74,235

Credit : Accumulated Depletion $74,235

Explanation:

<em>Depletion Expense = Depletion rate × units extracted during the year</em>

where,

<em>Depletion rate = (Cost - Salvage Value) ÷ Estimated total units</em>

Therefore,

Depletion rate = ($404,000 + $101,000 + $80,800 - $161,600) ÷ 4,040 tons

                        = $ 105 per ton

Therefore,

Depletion Expense = $ 105 per ton × 707 tons

                                = $74,235

<u>Journal Entry :</u>

Debit : Depletion Expense $74,235

Credit : Accumulated Depletion $74,235
