Answer:

31.47%

Explanation:

Total investment = 4000 + 3000 +9000 = $16,000

% of investment in A = 4000/16000 = 25%

% of investment in B = 3000/16000 = 18.75%

% of investment in Asset beta and risk-free asset = 100% - 25% -18.75% = 56.25%

Let the % of investment in asset with beta of 1.74 is A, % of investment in risk free asset is B.

We have the following simultaneous equations:

0.9 = (0.25 x 1.47) + (0.1875 x 0.54) + (A x 1.74) + (B x 0)

A+B = 56.25%

From the first equation, we get A = 24.78%

--> B = 56.25% - 24.78% = 31.47%

*** Note: Portfolio beta is the weighted sum of individual asset betas, according to the proportions of the investments in the portfolio

*** Note: Beta of risk free asset is 0

Dodge, Incorporated acquires 15% of Gates Corporation on January 1, 2011, for $105,000 when the book value of Gates was $600,000
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

a. $80,000

Explanation:

In this question we are only concerned about the net income reported by Dodge on its income statement.

First we need to calculate ownership % in 2012 = 15% + 25% = 40%

Net income of 2012 (Gates) = $ 200000

hence Dodge will report net income of 40% of 200000 = $80000

Hence the correct answer is A

Note: Dividends will not affect the investors net income but it would reduce the investment value of Gate reported by Dodge (as it is seen as a return on investment)
