Answer:

... then the appropriate action for the Federal Reserve to take is a <u>DEFENSIVE</u>  open market <u>SALE</u>, everything else held constant.

Explanation:

Defensive open market operations are carried out to temporarily offset fluctuation in the market of securities (either too much or too little demand, or supply).

A defensive pen market sale will lower the supply of reserves without having to change the current interest rates. If it doesn't do anything, the interest rates will probably decrease.

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

a. Incremental costs = (Direct materials + Direct labor) * 20%

Incremental costs = ($26 + $28) * 20%

Incremental costs = $54 * 20%

Incremental costs = $10.8

Incremental selling price = $72 - $64.8 = $7.2

Incremental profit (loss) = Incremental selling price - Incremental costs = $7.2 - $10.8 = $(3.6)

b. No. As there is Incremental loss, it should not be processed further

A portfolio is made up of stocks a, b, c, and d in the proportion of 20%, 30%, 25%, and 25% respectively. the nondiversifiable r
kow [346]

The portfolio beta would simply be the summation of the weighted average of each beta.

Where weighted average of each beta is calculated as:

Stock weighted average = Stock proportion * Individual beta

Therefore,

Stock A beta weighted average = 0.2 * 0.4 = 0.08

Stock B beta weighted average = 0.3 * 1.2 = 0.36

Stock C beta weighted average = 0.25 * 2.5 = 0.625

Stock D beta weighted average = 0.25 * 1.75 = 0.4375

The summation of all betas yield the overall portfolio beta:

Portfolio beta = 0.08 + 0.36 + 0.625 + 0.4375

<span>Portfolio beta = 1.5025 ~ 1.5</span>
