A private investment club has $300,000 earmarked for investment in stocks. To arrive at an acceptable overall level of risk, the

stocks that management is considering have been classified into three categories: high-risk, medium-risk, and low-risk. Management estimates that high-risk stocks will have a return rate of 15%; medium-risk stocks, 10%; and low-risk stocks, 6%. The members have decided that the investment in low-risk stocks should be equal to the sum of the investments in the stocks of the other two categories. Determine how much the club should invest in each type of stock if the investment goal is to have a return of $30,000 on the total investment. (Assume that all the money available for investment is invested. Let x, y, and z denote the amount, in dollars, invested in high-, medium-, and low-risk stocks, respectively.)

Answer:

Investment in low risk=$150,000

Investment in medium risk =$30,000

Investment in high risk=$120,000

Explanation:

✓We can denote the investment in high risk as $x

✓ We can denote the investment medium risk as $y

✓We can denote the investment in low risk as($x + $y)

The summation of the investment = x + y +( x + y )= $300,000

If we add the like-terms together we have,

2x + 2y = $300,000

If we divide the both sides by 2, we have

x+y = 150,000

If we make "x" as subject of the formula, we have

x =150,000 -y •••••••••••eqn(**)

Total return on investments is

0.15x +0.10y +0 .06(x+y) = $30,000••••••••••••••••••••••••••••eqn(#)

Substitute for x from eqn(**) into equation (#)

0.15(150,000 -y) + 0.10y + 0.06(150,000-y +y) = 30,000

22500-0.15y+0.10y+9000= 30,000

0.05y=1500

y=1500/0.05

y=30,000

Recall, x =150,000 -y

Then

x = 150,000 - 30,000 = 120,000

y=30,000

x=120,000

Investment in low risk = x + y

= 30,000+120,000= 150,000

Hence, the investment in high risk

is $120,000, the investment medium risk is $30,000 and the investment in low risk is $ 150,000.

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

a. An individual sells her house on her own.  

         GDP is not affected.

b. An individual sells his house through a broker.

         GDP is not affected.  

c. Government increases Social Security payments.  

          GDP is not affected.

d. Stock prices rise by 20 percent.

   GDP will increase.

Explanation:

Selling a house by an individual does not affect the Gross Domestic Product of a Country.  

Selling a house by a broker will also not affect the Gross Domestic Product of a Country.

When a Government increases the social security payments, this result in transfer of money from government to social security account but it does not generate any goods are services in the country.

When the stock prices increases in the country, there is more likely that the individuals will invest in the stocks. So investments will increase and thus GDP will rise.

A manufacturing firm has an annual demand of 300,000 units. Using its current operation, the firm pays $800,000 in annual fixed
Elodia [21]

Answer:

It is cheaper to make the units in-house by $300,000.-

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the total avoidable production costs of making 300,000 units:</u>

Total variable cost= 300,000*15= $4,500,000

Total avoidable fixed cost= 800,000 - 200,000= $600,000

Total production cost= $5,100,000

<u>Now, the total differential cost of buying:</u>

<u></u>

Cost of buying= 300,000*18= $5,400,000

It is cheaper to make the units in-house.
