Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for the first year and the second year is shown below:

a) Straight-line method:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($3,900 - $300) ÷ (4 years)

= ($3,600) ÷ (4 years)  

= $900

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

So, in year 2 the depreciation expense is also $900

(b) Double-declining balance method:

First we have to find the depreciation rate which is shown below:

= One ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 4

= 25%

Now the rate is double So, 50%

In year 1, the original cost is $3,900, so the depreciation is $1,950 after applying the 50% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the $1,950 × 50% = $975

You have $100,000 to invest in either Stock D, Stock F, or a risk-free asset. You must invest all of your money. Your goal is to
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

You will invest <u>$18,000</u> in Stock F.

Explanation:

This can be calculated using the portfolio return formula as follows:

PR = (wD * rD) + (wF * rF) + (wR * rR) ............................ (1)

Where;

PR = Portfolio expected return = 10.7%, or 0.107

wD = Weight of the amount invested in Stock D = Amount invested in Stock D / Total amount invested = $50,000 / $100,000 = 0.50

rD = Expected Return from Stock D = 14.2%, or 0.142

wF = Weight of the amount invested in Stock F = Amount invested in Stock F / Total amount invested = ?

rF = Expected Return from StocK F = 10.1%, or 0.101

wR = Weight of the amount invested in risk free = 1 - wD - wF = 1 - 0.50 - wF = 0.50 - wF

rR = Expected Return from Risk free = 5.6%, or 0.056

Substitute all the values into equation (1), we have:

0.107 = (0.50 * 0.142) + (wF * 0.101) + ((0.50 - wF) * 0.056)

0.107 = 0.071 + (wF * 0.101) + ((0.50 * 0.056) - (wF * 0.056))

0.107 - 0.071 = (wF * 0.101) + 0.028 - (wF * 0.056)

0.036 - 0.028 = (wF * 0.101) - (wF * 0.056)

0.008 = wF(0.101 - 0.056)

0.008 = wF0.045

wF = 0.008 / 0.045

wF = 0.18

Since,

wF = Amount invested in Stock F / Total amount invested

We then substitute and solve for Amount invested in Stock F as follows:

0.18 = Amount invested in Stock F / $100,000

Amount invested in Stock F = 0.18 * $100,000 = $18,000

Therefore, you will invest <u>$18,000</u> in Stock F.
