Answer:

Portfolio Return = 11.975%

Explanation:

The portfolio return is calculated by taking the weights of individual securities in a portfolio and multiplying them by the return of individual securities. The formula can be written as,

Portfolio return = wA * rA + wB * rB

Where,

  • wA is the weight of security A
  • rA is the return on security A
  • wB is the weight of security B
  • rB is the return on security B

The risk free asset has a beta of zero.

Let the weight of risk free asset be x. The weight of risky asset is 1-x.

Portfolio beta =       0.975 =  x * 0 + (1-x) * 1.3

0.975 = 1.3 - 1.3x

0.975 - 1.3 = -1.3x

-0.325 / -1.3 = x

x = 0.25

Portfolio return = 0.25 * 0.032 + (1-0.25) * 0.149 = 0.11975 or 11.975%

Kryger [21]

Answer:

The option for this question are the following:

A. Concurrent

B. Statistical

C. Inventory

D. Feedforward

The correctt answer is D. Feed forward.

Explanation:

Feedforward is the process by which feedback between company members focuses more on future possibilities. That is to say, it is not only about communicating but about doing it thinking about increasing the opportunities that the company has and will be able to have later.

The problem we had when we talked about feedback was that it focused on aspects of the past. Communication was thought of as something of the moment, without determining an intention to take it to another level. The ‘feed’ forward would come into play here.

What is intended with the feedforward is to establish links and ideas, so that teamwork makes business organization easier. Brainstorming and the sharing of solutions and aspects for the company mean that employees can aspire to a positive work future.

Answer:

$42,240

Explanation:

The computation of the balance of the Accumulated Depreciation account at the end of 2019 is as follows;

But before that the depreciation rate is

= 1 ÷ 5 × 2

= 40%

For the first year, the depreciation expense is

= $66,000 × 40%

= $26,400

Now for the 2019, the depreciation expense is

= ($66,000  - $26,400) × 40%

= $15,840

Now the accumulated depreciation is

= $26,400 + $15,840

= $42,240

                 CR Tour Revenue                                                           $1,200

May 9  DR No entry required

May 15  DR Sales Allowance (1,200 * 30%)                        $360

                    CR Accounts Receivable                                             $360

Working

Accounts Receivable = 1,200 - 360 sales allowance = $840

Sales Discount = 840 * 6% discount = $50.40

Cash = 840 - 50.40 = $789.60

A bank loans money at an annual rate of 20 percent. Interest is compounded daily. What is the actual rate the bank is charging?
NeX [460]

Answer:

22.13%

Explanation:

The effective annual rate formula below can be used to determine the actual rate charged by the bank as follows:

Effective annual rate=(1+APR/n)^n-1

APR=20%

n=number of times interest is computed yearly=365

Effective annual rate=(1+20%/365)^365-1

Effective annual rate=1.221335858 -1

Effective annual rate=22.13%

The actual rate of interest on bank loan is 22.13%
