Answer:

C) Invest $2500 in a risk free asset and $2500 in a stock with beta of 2.0

Explanation:

Stock that is beta 2 means that it is twice as volatile as the whole market. Meaning for example if the market is expected to move by 5% this stock will move 10%. New startup firms that are fast-growing usually have stocks in this category. It is more risky thank normal shares but no too much. We can invest $2,500 here.

We invest the remaining $2,500 in risk-free assets

This is a backup on the chance that the investment on beta 2 stocks do not perform, the risk-free assets will make up for losses.

Serggg [28]

Answer:

option (D) 10.34

Explanation:

The  inventory turnover ratio for 2016 will be given as:

= [Cost of goods sold ] ÷ Average inventory

also,

Cost of goods sold in 2016 = $148,669

Average inventory = [ 2015 inventory + 2016 inventory ] ÷ 2

= [ 14,001 + 14,760 ] ÷ 2

= 28761 ÷ 2

= 14,380.5

Therefore,

The  inventory turnover ratio for 2016 = $148,669 ÷ 14,380.5

= 10.34

Hence,

The answer is option (D) 10.34
