You invested $30,000 in BOA, $20,000 in Best Buy, and $50,000 in Harley-Davidson for your portfolio. Betas are 1.8, 1.05 and 1.5
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Beta= 1.5

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the proportional investment of each asset:</u>

Total investment= $100,000

BOA= 30,000/100,000= 0.3

Best Buy= 20,000/100,000= 0.2

Harley-Davidson= 50,000/100,000= 0.5

<u>To calculate the beta of the portfolio, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Beta= (proportion of investment A*beta A) + (proportion of investment B*beta B)...

Beta= (0.3*1.8) + (0.2*1.05) + (0.5*1.5)

Beta= 1.5

The volume of international trade is governed by factors including the level of domestic economic activity (for example, prosper
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

International trade is trade across national boundaries and it includes the import and export of goods and services. An economic prosperity is synonymous with rising incomes and it would increase the propensity to import; that is, people in the domestic economy now have more incomes to spend on imports. Alternatively, a recession would lead to a fall in incomes and imports, and also a fall in investment which conseqeuntly reduces exports volumes.

Trade restrictions (protectionism) such as tariffs, quotas, competitive devaluation, administrative complexities, export subsidy hinder free trade and they could reduce the volume of imports into a country. This is because trade restrictions would make imports to be more expensive; the aim might be that the government is trying to correct a current account deficit. However, the effectiveness of trade restrictions in  reducing import volumes and influening export is dependent on the price elasiticty of demand for imports and exports, the quality of a country's good or service, and how the country's rate of inflation compares with that of other countries.

You have three separate accounts with your bank that you can manipulate with online banking. Account "A" is a checking account w
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

A) $10,195

Explanation:

This can be calculated as follows:

Amount in Account "B" = $12,850.25

Remaining balance after moving $2,500 from Account "B" to account "A" = Amount in Account "B" - $2,500 = $12,850.25 - $2,500 = $10,350.25

Amount moved from account "B" to account "C" = Remaining balance after moving $2,500 from Account "B" to account "A" * 1.5% = $10,350.25 * 1.5% = $155.25

Balance after moving 1.5% of the remaining balance in account "B" to account "C" = Remaining balance after moving $2,500 from Account "B" to account "A" - Amount moved from account "B" to account "C" = $10,350.25 - $155.25 = $10,195

Therefore, the correct option is A) $10,195.
