Answer:

(A) Navy contract= 1.0

Army contract= 0.8

(B) Navy contract

Explanation:

(A) The productivity for navy can be calculated as follows

= 28 × 2× 40

= 2240

Since the navy contract was for 2266 devices then productivity is

= 2266/2240

= 1.0 labor hour

The productivity for army can be calculated as follows

= 29×6×40

= 6960

Since the army contract was for 5510 devices then productivity is

= 5510/6960

= 0.8 labor hour

(B) The workers were more productive on the navy contract

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>
