Answer:

Invest 50% in portfolio A and the rest 50% in risk-free asset to create Portfolio D, we will have the same systematic risk as that of Portfolio B.

The expected return of Portfolio D = 11%

Portfolio D and Portfolio B have the same beta of 1.0. But, portfolio D has a higher return of 11% as compared to the expected return of Portfolio B of 8%.

Buy Portfolio D, and sell Portfolio B.

Explanation:

A risk free asset is referred to an asset that provides a virtually guaranteed return and no possibility of loss.

Risk-free asset has a beta of 0.

Portfolio D Beta = Wa × Portfolio A Beta + Wb × Risk-free asset beta

1.0 = Wa * 2.0 + Wb * 0

Wa = 1.0/2.0

Wa = 0.50

If we invest 50% in portfolio A and the rest 50% in risk-free asset to create Portfolio D, we will have the same systematic risk as that of Portfolio B.

The expected return of Portfolio D = 0.50 × 0.19 + 0.50 ×0.03

The expected return of Portfolio D = 0.11

The expected return of Portfolio D = 11%

Portfolio D and Portfolio B have the same beta of 1.0. But, portfolio D has a higher return of 11% as compared to the expected return of Portfolio B of 8%.

Buy Portfolio D, and sell Portfolio B.

David paid $975,000 for two beachfront lots in coastal South Carolina, with the intention of building residential homes on each.
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

The correct answer would be, Yes South Carolina would be compensating David as his property is now economically valueless.  

Explanation:  

Under the taking clause, 'The Beachfront Management Act was properly and validly designed to preserve South Carolina's beaches', which means that no one will be allowed to do any development project near beaches in order to save the beaches.  

Though it is already written in the Act, The Beachfront Management Act barred any further development on the coasts of Carolina, which makes the purchased property of David as economically valuless, so South Carolina would be compensating him as the law has passed and they won't allow further development but they need to compensate the people who purchased the property on the beaches for the purpose of future business.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

$4,500,000

Explanation:

current market price per stock $20

total stocks outstanding 500,000

corporation's total value = 500,000 x $20 = $10,000,000

investor's offer to purchase 100% at $14,500,000

controlling interest premium = $14,500,000 - $10,000,000 = $4,500,000

new price per stock = $14,500,000 / 500,000 = $29

The controlling interest premium equals the difference between the current market price of the stock and the purchase offer.
