Answer:
a) Portfolio ABC's expected return is 10.66667%.
Explanation:
Some information is missing:
Stock Expected Standard Beta
return deviation
A 10% 20% 1.0
B 10% 10% 1.0
C 12% 12% 1.4
The expected return or portfolio AB = (1/2 x 10%) + (1/2 x 10%) = 10% (it is the same as the required rate for stock A or B)
The expected return or portfolio ABC = (weight of stock A x expected return of stock A) + (weight of stock B x expected return of stock B) + (weight of stock C x expected return of stock C) = (1/3 x 10%) + (1/3 x 10%) + (1/3 x 12%) = 3.333% + 3.333% + 4% = 10.667% <u>THIS IS CORRECT</u>
Options B, C, D and E are wrong.

Explanation:
The computation of the gross profit percentage is shown below
Gross profit percentage is
= (Sales - cost of goods sold) ÷ (Sales) × 100
where,
Sales is $850,000
And, the cost of goods sold is $344,600
Now placing these values to the above formula
So, the gross profit percentage is
= ($850,000 - $344,600) ÷ ($850,000) × 100
= $505,400 ÷ $850,000 × 100
= 56.46%

Answer:
Principal-agent.
Explanation:
This problem comes to play when one has to make decisions on behalf of another person.
The principal-agent problem is a conflict in priorities between a person or group and the representative authorized to act on their behalf. An agent may act in a way that is contrary to the best interests of the principal.
It can occur in any situation in which the ownership of an asset, or a principal, delegates direct control over that asset to another party, or agent.
