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

Suppose that a cafe enjoys a large increase in customers whenever the jazz club next door features a band playing appealing musi
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

D. Integration of different types of businesses through merger or acquisition

Explanation:

Externalities occur when the production or consumption of a particular good or service affects a third-party who is not related to the transaction. A positive externality is one that is favorable and beneficial to the third party and a negative externality is one that is unfavorable and creates a cost to the third party. In this case, the third party is the owner of the cafe and it is a positive externality because the music creates an increase in the number of customers to his/her business.

When the jazz club owner purchases/acquires the cafe, the cafe becomes his. Hence, the benefit felt to the cafe by the music from the jazz club is a benefit that his own new business incurs. Thus, the integration of these two businesses into one helps internalize the positive externality since now the main party involved in the transaction is also the one feeling the positive externality and not a third-party as used to be.

Dorcan Corporation manufactures and sells T-shirts imprinted with college names and slogans. Last year, the shirts sold for $7.5
stellarik [79]

Answer:

correct option is (A) 16,500 units.

Explanation:

given data

shirts sold = $7.50

variable cost  = $2.25

after tax net income = $5,040

selling price  =$10

solution

we get here first fixed cost that is

Break even sales units = Fixed costs ÷ Contribution per unit   .............1

put here value

20000 = \frac{fixed \  cost }{7.50 -2.25}

Fixed costs = $105000  

and

Fixed costs coming year will be

Fixed costs coming year =  ($105000 × 1.10)

Fixed costs coming year = $115500

and

Variable cost =  $2.25 + ($2.25 × \frac{1}{3} )

Variable cost = $3

so that Contribution margin  will be

Contribution margin = Sales price - Variable cost ............2

Contribution margin = $10 - $3

Contribution margin = $7

and

break even sales units is

break even sales  = \frac{115500}{7}  

break even sales  = 16500 units

so correct option is (A) 16,500 units.

torisob [31]

Answer:

There is a loss of 18,000

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the amount of boot in this transaction.

We proceed as follows;

We must identify that to buy one asset, we exchanged one asset with another

Mathematically;

loss or gain = asset given up - Discount received in exchange

From the question we identify the following;

value of asset given up = 225,000 - 195,000 = 30,000

Discount received in exchange = 12,000

Thus, loss or gain is

= 30,000 - 12,000

So, there's a loss of 18,000
