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

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

$211,772

Explanation:

The computation of ending inventory is shown below:-

Discount = ($480,000 - $3,600) × 2%

= $9,528

Cost of goods for sale = Beginning inventory + purchases - returns at invoice price - Discounts + Freight - Cost of goods sold

= $113,000 + $480,000 - $3,600 - $9,528 + $7,900

= $587,772

Ending inventory = Cost of goods for sale - Cost of goods sold

= $587,772 - $376,000

= $211,772

So, the right answer is $211,772. Hence the option is not available.

dsp73

Answer:

A. Dividend is paid to current shareholders.

Explanation:

This is simply said to be the aggregate amount of all current asset and also all current liability of an investment. It is used in measuring the short term liability of a business by subtracting the current liability from the current asset.

In some cases, it can be tagged a company’s current assets, such as cash, accounts receivable, inventories of goods etc. Many companies sum their's by calculating cash plus accounts receivable plus inventories, less accounts payable and less accrued expenses. This is why it is seen to decrease when dividend is paid to current shareholders.

If the reserve requirement is 5 percent, a bank desires to hold no excess reserves, and it receives a new deposit of $10, then t
jekas [21]

Answer:

c. will be able to make new loans up to a maximum of $9.50

Explanation:

If the reserve requirement is 5% it means that the bank is required to reserve(not loan out) 5% of it's reserves so in this case the bank is required to 5% of 10 (0.05*10) $0.50 as reserves and can loan out $9.50 (10-0.50). As the bank has no desire to hold on to excess reserves we can be sure that it will only hold 0.50 as reserve as it is required and loan out $9.50. So statement c is correct.

Statement A is incorrect because the bank does not need to increase required reserve by $10 but by just $0.50.

Statement B is incorrect a deposit of $10 cannot increase the total reserve by $10.50 as it is impossible mathematically.

Statement d is incorrect because 2 of the 3 statements are incorrect therefore all of the above statements cant be correct.
