Explanation:
On July 1 2019,Red company would have parted with cash of $50,000 which means that cash account should be credited with $50,000 while bond investment account is debited with same amount
On receipt of first interest payment of $1,250 (5%*$50,000*1/2) cash is debited with $1,250 while interest revenue is credited with the same amount.
Upon receipt of face value at redemption,the journal entry would be opposite of the initial one
Answer: Economies of Scale
Explanation:
Economies of scale refers to the tendency of costs to reduce per unit as the number of units produced increases. This is because the producer is able to share the costs amongst all the units produced.
George was getting those ingredients to make a single burger so the produce he used were small in quantity and cost him more. The companies that make sandwiches in large numbers buy and produce the ingredients in bulk which reduces their prices.
For example, George went to Minneapolis to get salt for one burger, those companies would go and get salt for 10,000 burgers at the same time which would reduce the cost by dividing it across the 10,000 burgers.
This cost saving from economies of scale enables the local deli to sell products at a cheaper rate than if we had to make them ourselves.
Answer: b. The beta of the portfolio is higher than the highest of the three betas
Explanation:
The beta of a portfolio is calculated as a weighted average of the individual betas of the individual stocks. As such, the highest individual beta will be the upper limit of the portfolios entire beta.
For instance.
3 stocks A, B and C have betas of 1, 1.3 and 2 respectively.
A has a weight of 1%, B has a weight of 1% and C has a weight of 98%.
The portfolio beta will be;
= (0.01 * 1 ) + ( 0.01 * 1.3) + ( 0.98 * 2)
= 1.98
Even if the stock with the highest beta had an advantage of weighing such a high figure, it it mathematically impossible for the portfolio beta to be higher than it.
