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

Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The total amount of administrative cost to the Accounting Department is $ 14,900.

Explanation:

In order to calculate the total amount of administrative cost to the Accounting Department, first we need to calculate the Utilization Ratio of the particulars, using the following formua:

Utilization Ratio=(Total amount particular/Utilised by accounting department)

Hence, the Utilization Ratio of Administration costs =(50/280)

                                                                                    =0.178

             the Utilization Ratio of Maintenance fee =(12,000/36,000)=0.33

             the Utilization Ratio of Utilities=(12,000/36,000)=0.33

Therefore, the total amount of administrative cost to the Accounting Department=(0.178×$50,000)+(0.33×$12,000)+(0.33×$6,000)

                  =$8,900+$4,000+$2,000

                  =$14,900
