Answer: Option B  

                       

Explanation: In simple words, diversification refers to the process of allocating capital in different investments to reduce the overall risk of the investment portfolio.

Therefore, analyst tries to make portfolio in such a way that securities will be negatively correlated. If two securities are negatively correlated then the decrease of one will lead to proportionate increase of others.

This ensures that the investors money will not be depreciated but at the same time the potential for abnormal returns also decreases.

If we have the number of hours he works for each job separately, then we will be able to take out a percentage of the earnings from both of the jobs separately. We will than get the sum of the percentages if both of them, and have the real amount of George's weekly savings.

Which of the following statements is true if total fixed costs decrease while the sales price per unit and variable cost per uni
Trava [24]

Answer:

D. The breakeven point decreases.

Explanation:

Breakeven point of a business is defined as the point where it's total cost and total revenues are equal, at this point there is no gain or loss. Hen revenue is above this point profit is made, and when revenue is below this point there is loss.

The formula for break-even is

Breakeven point= Total fixed cost/(Sales price per unit- Variable cost per unit)

Since sales price and variable cost is constant, let's say

(Sales price per unit- Variable cost per unit)= constant (k)

So when we cross-multiply in the formula

Breakeven* k= Total fixed cost

It shows that Breakeven point is directly proportional to Total fixed cost.

So a reduction in Total fixed cost will result in a reduction in Breakeven point.

You bought a stock one year ago for $51.41 per share and sold it today for $59.82 per share. It paid a $1.03 per share dividend
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Return from dividend yield= 2.0%

Capital gain = 16.4%

Explanation:

The return on a stock is the sum of the capital gains(loss) plus the dividends earned.

<em>Capital gain is the difference between the value of the stocks when sold and the cost of the shares when purchased. </em>

Total shareholders Return =  

(Capital gain/ loss + dividend )/purchase price × 100

The total return can be broken down into

<em>Dividend yield = Dividend/price × 100</em>

= 1.03/51.41 × 100

=2.0%

<em>Capital gain = capital gain/ price  × 100</em>

= (59.82 - 51.41)/51.41 × 100 = 16.4%
