Answer:

Average rate of return is 7.8% , and total amount is $4,680

If Kunal wanted to rebalance his portfolio to its original position, he needs to transfer $672 (= $25,872 - $25,200) from stock account to bond account  and $816 ( = $12,936 - $12,120) from stock account to cash.

Explanation:

Total return for year = 14% * (40% of $60,000) + 5% * (40% of $60,000+ 1% *(20% of $60,000) = $4,680

Average rate of return = $4,680/ $60,000 = 7.8%

At beginning, the amount in per diversified portfolio is as below:

  • Amount invested in stock = 40% * $60,000 = $24,000
  • Amount invested in bond = 40% * $60,000 = $24,000
  • Amount in cash = 20% *$60,000 = $12,000

After receiving return, the amount in per diversified portfolio is as below:

Amount invested in stock = $24,000 *(1+14%) = $27,360

  • Amount invested in bond = $24,000 *(1+5%) = $25,200
  • Amount in cash = $12,000 * (1 + 1%) = $12,120

And amount in Kunal’s investment fund  = $27,360 + $25,200 + $12,120 = $64,680

 

If Kunal wanted to rebalance his portfolio to its original position, the amount in per diversified portfolio is as below:

Amount invested in stock = 40% * $64,680 = $25,872

  • Amount invested in bond = 40% * $64,680 = $25,872
  • Amount in cash = 20% *  $64,680 = $12,936

⇒ Kunal needs to transfer $672 (= $25,872 - $25,200) from stock account to bond account  and $816 ( = $12,936 - $12,120) from stock account to cash.

When the production of a good generates external costs, a firm’s private supply curve will be:a. to the right of the social supp
Anni [7]

Answer:

Letter a is correct. <u>To the right of the social supply curve.</u>

Explanation:

In this situation, we can say that the correct alternative is that the company's supply curve will be to the right of the social supply curve. For when there is an external cost of producing a good, it means that there is a cost committed by third parties, that is, this cost has no direct relation to the production process of the good, but it can be said that the production of the organization goes beyond ideal social level of production, which causes an externality, as there are consequences for third parties on a decision which they did not participate in.

Step 2:  Assume that there is a table Loans with the following attributes as shown in the screenshot.

Step 3:  Create a query using Query Design. From the Clients table, display the client’s FirstName and LastName. From the Accounts table, select the Savings Balance and OpenDate. Sort the query by savings balance in descending order.

   Add a calculated field named AccountTime that calculates the number of days each client’s accounts have been open. Assume today’s date is 12/31/2017. Recall dates must be enclosed in # to denote to Access it is a date. Format the results in General Number format. Save the query as Account Longevity, and close the query.

Step 4: Create a query using Query Design. From the Clients table, display the client first name and last name. From the Accounts table, select the savings balance.

   Add appropriate grouping, so the client’s total retirement account savings balances are displayed. Add a sort so the highest total savings balances are displayed first.

Step 5:  Switch to Datasheet view. Add a totals row displaying the count of the last name and the average of total savings balances. Save the query as Total Balances By Client and close the query.

Step 8:  Enter the sample data (one record) as shown in the screenshot.

As present value is given as 25000, loan amount is taken as 25000.

As savings balance is given as 5000, savings balance is taken as 5000.

Step 9: SS
